Equipment company Columbus McKinnon has delivered a dual speed shredder, 2R Liberator and zero waste system to Coffee County, Ala. The tire recycling equipment system will be installed by the county and handle the old tires in the county.
The funding for the equipment came from the county recently being awarded a grant by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management to build a regional tire processing center in Elba, Ala. According to a release, the county chose equipment from CM to provide the tire recycling equipment.
The state of Alabama generates about 4.5 million tires each year. According to CM, prior to the tire shredding system the only solution for scrap tires in the county was to collect the tires and to bury them in neighboring Covington County.
