ANVIL NAME EMERGES FROM PRO-LINE, HAWCO MERGER
Pro-Line Buckets & Grapples of Houston and Hawco Manufacturing Co. LLC, Slaughter, La., have merged to form a larger clamshell bucket and grapple-manufacturing firm. The new company will be called Anvil Attachments, choosing an existing Pro-Line brand as its corporate name.
Anvil Attachments will continue to provide parts, service and engineering of new units under the names Anvil, Pro-Line , Hawco, Owen, Yaun, Williams and Drott. These product lines offer a broad array of attachments for cable, hydraulic and electro-hydraulic operated units.
Anvil director of sales and marketing Larry A. Carlisle says Anvil Attachments will provide quality products at a fair price.
The company operates from a sales and engineering office in Houston and a manufacturing facility with its ISO 9001process and design certification in Slaughter, La. The attachments are sold into the scrap recycling, demolition, construction and bulk material handling markets.
Anvil has alliances allowing it to offer other products, including separating technology and lifting devices created by the German firm Steinert. These products are available through Anvil’s sister company Resource Recycling LLC, St. Petersburg, Fla.
An alliance with RadComm Systems, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, allows Anvil to offer a scrap grapple with a radiation detector mounted within. Carlisle says the grapples can be retrofitted easily to include a radiation detector at a later date.
| TSI SELLS 74/104 DISC ROTOR |
|
Texas Shredder Inc. (TSI), San Antonio, has sold its first "No Weld" disc rotors for a 74/104 shredder. The "No Weld" disc rotors have replaced four-arm spider rotors that had previously been used with the 74/104 shredder. Two shredder operations in the northeastern U.S. are currently operating with the "No Weld" disc rotors, according to TSI. The rotor style is designed to increase production, lower power costs and reduce the overall cost per ton to shred (less manpower and maintenance), according to the company. The "No Weld" disc material is made from a T-1 steel of pressure vessel quality. The rotor shaft is an AISI 4340 forging quenched and tempered to a specified brinell hardness. The new style is among 12 different rotor designs for the scrap shredding market that TSI is now making. |

"We re-engineered our software to provide a cost-effective migration path for our existing clients, with literally no application re-training required. Prospective SAI clients will also quickly see the difference in the graphical look and feel of Version 4.0."
Roger Lambert, Simsmetal America’s manager of information systems, recently deployed Version 4.0 at 15 locations. "SAI transitioned our existing data in a matter of hours. The migration was so complete and accurate that the next day our users continued their routine processing without exceptions. With Version 4.0 upgrade, we’re anticipating significant and immediate benefits from our scale house to our top managers."
