Premier Surplus Inc., SSI design e-scrap shredding system

Georgia-based asset management and electronic recycling company Premier Surplus Inc. and SSI Shredding Systems, based in Wilsonville, Oregon, have announced the completion of a new e-scrap shredding system design.

According to a recent news release, the system will replace the company's original shredding line with state-of-the-art equipment and technology.

“Premier Surplus has very specific goals and a desire to offer their clients tailored solutions,” SSI Director of Sales and Marketing Dave Fleming says in the news release. “This approach allows Premier to consider a wider breadth of materials than a typical processor might at a time when the industry is full of people looking for reliable domestic outlets. SSI is thrilled to be selected as a part of Premier’s growth plans and is excited to supply their next generation e-scrap processing system.” 

Premier Surplus President Phillip Kennedy says the company has been shredding e-scrap for more than five years and is “faced with much more volume and harder to recycle electronics.” The system will help achieve maximum commodity recovery, landfill diversion and proper downstream treatment of materials, he says.

“Working with SSI has been amazing. We spent a great deal of time reviewing multiple system designs and proposals before selecting the equipment that will work for our application,” Kennedy says in the release. “Every item was carefully chosen and sized to streamline the shred system. The new system will have the latest and greatest in sorting technology and we feel our client base will be very happy with the finished product.”

SSI brought guidance and industry knowledge to help Premier Surplus design the new shredding system. The system is set to be installed March 2019.

“We designed the new shred system around our existing system, so we can simultaneously perform data and product destruction projects while at the same time processing the electronic scrap,” Kennedy says.
