Harris Sells Two Shredders

The Harris Shredder Division of Harris Waste Management Group, Peachtree City, Ga., has announced the sale of two shredder plants. Harris, a long-time maker of balers, shears and other recycling equipment, created its Shredder Division less than three years ago.

An HS 80115 Shredder has been sold to Penn Recycling in Williamsport, Pa., while a larger HS 98115 Shredder System will be installed at Silver Dollar Recycling in North Las Vegas, Nev.

The HS 80115 shredder at Penn Recycling is expected to be operational this August, while the 98115 system for Silver Dollar Recycling is projected to go online in November.

The Penn Recycling installation includes a Harris-built four-arm Spider Rotor and Harris-made double feed rolls and drop-in front wallcastings. The mill, which replaces an existing Newell 80104 model, will be powered by a 2,000 hp motor.

The HS 98115 system in Nevada is powered by a 4,000 hp Schorch motor and includes a Harris-built rotor and a multi-piece downstream system.

Silver Dollar Recycling president Bob Friedman says the company has owned and operated Harris balers “for a number of years and have found their designs and construction to be extremely durable.” Of the shredders, he says, “When we evaluated the Harris shredder design and construction, we were impressed by the same level of quality and commitment we have experienced in our other Harris equipment.”

Harris vice president of sales and marketing Scott Williams says, “The fact that both of these customers presently operate other manufacturers’ shredders and chose Harris speaks volumes about our design.”
