Hyundai R360LC-7A Material Handler. Hyundai Construction Equipment, Grove Village, Ill., has introduced its new generation of material handlers, beginning with the R360LC-7A MH. Features include:
perspective in the scrap yard
product from solid aluminum and plastic packaging materials. Features include:
which is designed to deliver raw materials to overseas markets by eliminating the bottleneck at the port via traditional break-bulk loading. Other system advantages include:
energized pinning electrode, with conductive particles dissipating this charge and being thrown from the rotor by centrifugal force
sensitivity scan) and a manual search-and-locate scan
•
360-degree visibility and a raised cab for optimal top-downperspective in the scrap yard
•
A 296-gross-horsepower, six-cylinder, four-cycle, turbo-charged Cummins QSL Engine•
Advanced hydraulic system optimized to improve joystick-to-attachment response timeVisit www.hceusa.com for more information.
Komptech Terminator Single-Shaft Shredder. Komptech GmbH, Frohnleiten, Austria, has introduced its new single-shaft shredder, the Terminator. As a slow-running single-shaft shredder, it can be used for all types of material, according to Komptech. Features include:•
Applications with drum/opposing-comb system variants range from coarse pre-crushing to defined shredding•
Continuous cutting gap adjustment allows tailoring of the produced particle size to the subsequent processing stage•
Can shred bulk refuse; scrap wood; building material; and household, residual and commercial scrap materialVisit www.komptech.com for more information.
Shred-Tech Beverage Container Destruction System. Shred-Tech, Cambridge, Ontario, has announced the availability of its BCS-50 beverage container destruction system. The BCS-50 destroys and separates liquidproduct from solid aluminum and plastic packaging materials. Features include:
•
A knife profile and configuration designed for maximum throughput of 15,000 pounds per hour and optimum liquid separation•
False walls at either end of the cutting chamber provide bearing and seal protection as well as sectional cleaning fingersVisit www.shred-tech.com or e-mail shred@shred-tech.com for more information.
Metso BEST Sea-Container Loading System. Finland-based Metso Minerals Industries has introduced the BEST sea-container loading system, which is designed to deliver raw materials to overseas markets by eliminating the bottleneck at the port via traditional break-bulk loading. Other system advantages include:
•
Designed to load shipping containers for export of ferrous and nonferrous scrap quickly and efficiently•
A reduction in total loading time; preset loading weighments; a single-operator design; 20- and 40-foot container loading designs; and a low-maintenance vibratory feederVisit www.metsominerals.com/best, e-mail tim.frajter@metso.com or call (800) 827-9237 for more information.
Eriez Electrostatic Separators. Eriez Magnetics, Erie, Pa., is now offering a line of electrostatic rotor separators. Features include:•
A high-potential electric charge is applied to the material via anenergized pinning electrode, with conductive particles dissipating this charge and being thrown from the rotor by centrifugal force
•
Nonconductive particles are not able to dissipate the charge and are pinned to the grounded roll surface•
The nonconductive particles are subsequently removedVisit www.eriez.com for more information.
RadComm Cricket Grapple-Mounted Systems. RadComm Radiation Detection Systems, Mississauga, Ontario, has introduced the Cricket Grapple-Mounted Radiation Detection System. Features include:•
Three operating modes—surface scan, load analysis (high-sensitivity scan) and a manual search-and-locate scan
•
Modular design with four components—shield, detector, battery and console•
Shield fits to any type of mechanical, hydraulic or electro-hydraulic grappleVisit www.radcommsystems.com for more information.
Oxford Instruments X-MET5000 XRF Analyzer. U.K.-based Oxford Instruments has introduced its new X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, the X-MET5000, for identification of metal alloys. Features include:•
Patented PentaFET detector technology designed for faster analysis and lower detection limits
•
Can be loaded with a metals analysis program and a plastic analysis program; an analytical program for precious metals analysis is also available•
Includes the light element treatment (LET) mode, designed to provide fast and accurate analysis of matrix elements, even when the sample contains light elements such aluminum and siliconVisit www.oxford-instruments.com for more information.
Herbold Meckesheim SB-Series Granulators. Herbold Meckesheim USA, Smithfield, R.I., has introduced its SB Series of granulators. The five new models granulate containers made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and other recyclable plastics. Other features include:•
Horizontal feeding screws, which force material from the hopper to an adjacent cutting chamber at a steady, even pace
•
Higher throughput compared with same-size gravity-fed cutting chambers•
Less power consumption, quieter operation, no flyback, reduced wear to the cutting blades and reduced fines and dust•
Suitable for dry or wet operation and also be used for secondary size reduction of pre-shredded plasticsVisit www.herboldusa.net for more information.
