Midwest Scrap, which is owned and operated by Kendrick and Kenneth Burgess, purchased the drive package for the HS12125 shredder it operates.
According to a Harris news release, the motor drive package is designed to maximize shredder performance and optimize energy efficiency, resulting in savings applied to the bottom line of the shredder facility.
The drive package bought by Midwest Scrap includes a 7,000 hp Schorch AC wound-rotor motor, an “extreme-duty” shaft arrangement, liquid rheostat, high-voltage switch gear controls and protection system, and a two-stage power factor correction system.
