The U.S. Shredder and Castings Group has announced the sale of an 80108 auto shredder and downstream system to Columbus Metal Industries (CMI), headquartered in Columbus, Neb. The auto shredder will be installed at the company’s Kearney, Neb., facility. CMI operates an existing 80108 shredder at its Columbus, Neb., facility.
According to a U.S. Shredder announcement, the system will include the company’s shredder control system and be driven by a 4,000-horsepower DC drive system supplied by AmeriMex Inc. of Houston. The downstream system and conveyors will be manufactured by U.S. Shredder’s sister company U.S. Conveyor, with electro drum magnets and eddy currents supplied by SGM Magnetics Corp., Sarasota, Fla.
Construction engineering and facility layout will be provided by U.S. Shredder’s new Installation Engineering Group. The U.S. Shredder press release indicates that engineers worked with Columbus Metal’s staff “to ensure many of the main components of the company’s existing shredder, rotor, motor, hammers, etc. were compatible with the new shredder.”
Installation is expected to begin in April of 2011. More information on U.S. Shredder and its products can be found at www.usshredder.com.
