Van Dyk Baler Corp.
Van Dyk Baler Corp., Stamford, Conn., has sold four sorting and baling systems to the regional MRFs operating in Puerto Rico. The systems will be used to process scrap paper and commingled containers. Each facility will use a fully-automatic Bollegraaf baler equipped with the pre-press flap system and cross-tie capability. The Bollegraaf container processing lines for plastic, glass, aluminum and tin-plate containers will be equipped with a Lubo Star Screen for the removal of broken glass and other contaminants from the stream.
Royce International Equipment Sales
A 660-ton shear baler made by Lollini has been installed at Riverside Scrap Iron & Metal Corp. in Riverside, Calif. The purchase of the Lollini model ALC 606 was handled by Royce International Equipment Sales, Ontario, Calif. The machine is billed as one of the fastest on the market today, having the capability of shearing 15 tons per hour of steel up to 3 inches thick.
Mac Corp.
A "Big Mac" auto flattener from MAC Corp., Grand Prairie, Texas, has been installed at Bridgewater Recycling Inc., Bridgewater, Mass. The company traded up from a nine-year-old Mac Corp. flattener to acquire the Big Mac. "The new Big Mac has benefited us in a number of ways," says Bridgewater Recycling president Ron Wagman. "The opening on the new unit is larger than the old one, which allows us to get an extra car in and produce a much denser package. That, in turn, makes our loads heavier and cuts down on transportation costs," he notes. The portability of the unit and its secondary oil-catching system allows the company to take the flattener to several sites within a 75-mile radius. The machine is the eighth MAC flattener owned by the company.
Wendt Corp.
Installation and start-up has been completed of a Wendt Corp. twin SuperEddyTM EddySortTM nonferrous metal recovery and grading system at the Structural Metals Inc. (SMI) site in Sequin, Texas. The system by Wendt Corp., Tonawanda, N.Y., features twin metal graders, a tumble-back feeder, and a three-stage, six-square-foot sizing trommel. The system will process more than 70 tons per hour of non-ferrous shredder residue at SMI, which is a subsidiary of Commercial Metals Co.
