Garb Oil & Power Corp. Announces Shipment of Mobile Shredder

Garb Oil & Power Corp. announced that it is shipping to New York State what it says is the most powerful mobile shredder produced for shredding tires. It is driven by a 700 HP Caterpillar Diesel engine and is capable of shredding the largest steel belted radial truck tires. The market price for the shredder is around $500,000.

The shredder was purchased by Rifenburg Contractors of New York, which has contracts with New York State to clean up stockpiled scrap tires. A similar 600HP shredder was sold to a Norwegian company in 1995 to clean up millions of scrap tires stockpiled throughout Norway.

Garb-Oil produces various sizes and types of Garbalizer shredders that can be used to shred garbage, construction debris, steel drums, scrap tires and other difficult items that must be reduced in size for further recycling or disposal.

Garb-Oil shredders are available up to 1000HP for shredding large OTR tires that weigh more than 10 tons each and 14'0 in diameter, this special shredder sells for $989,000.00 FOB Salt Lake City.

During October 2004, Garb-Oil shipped two stationary shredders to Waverly Virginia where they are currently processing scrap tires that are stockpiled in Virginia. The scrap tire by-products produced by the two Virginia machines are mulch, which is used for ground cover and fill around athletic field equipment to reduce injuries and as fuel to generate electricity. These shredders sold for approximately $600,000,00 and were smaller than the mobile shredder currently being shipped to New York.

The mechanisms for the Garb-Oil shredders are built in China then shipped to Modyne Manufacturing and Machine in Salt Lake City where the drive systems are installed and the shredders tested prior to deliver to the buyer job location.

Last year the Garb-Oil Garbalizer shredders were chosen by The Chinese Government EPA to process scrap tires and other waste generated in all 32 provinces throughout China, in anticipation for the Olympics. The shredders sold in China are built in China, under License from Garb-Oil, by the company who manufactures shredders for Garb-Oil.
