US SHREDDER AND CASTINGS INTRODUCES HAMMERMILL SUPPORT PROGRAM
Brookhaven, Miss.-based US Shredder and Castings Group has announced that it now offers support and upgrades of existing Hammermill shredder installations, in conjunction with its key suppliers.
The program ranges from supplying cast and fabricated wear parts specifically built for Hammermills to rebuilding base, mid and top sections. The company can also upgrade older model Hammermills.
According to a press release from US Shredder and Castings Group, most of its Hammermill upgrades are engineered to use the existing foundations, reducing the overall cost of the project.
US Shredder also builds and rebuilds spider and disc rotors to fit Hammermill machines.
"Our program allows the customer to increase his production by as much as 30 percent without the expense of completely changing out his shredder," US Shredder President Bill Tigner says. "Often these shredders are operating on grandfathered permits that also allow the customer to upgrade his shredding system without getting local or state authorities involved in new permits."
The company says it can also integrate new shredder operating control systems and water injection programs on these older shredders.
The US Shredder and Castings Group offers complete scrap shredding systems as well castings, service and consulting to the scrap industry in North and Central America. More information is available at www.usshredder.com.
