Derichebourg Recycling USA Inc. purchases Lefort shear/baler/logger

Lefort America, West Palm Beach, Florida, recently visited Derichebourg Recycling USA Inc., Oklahoma City, to check in on the recent installation of the company's Mobile 1000 shear/baler/logger. 

Derichebourg Recycling USA Inc. provides waste collection and recycling services. The company offers cleaning, collection, sorting, recycling and conversion services for ferrous scrap, aluminum scrap, computers, plastics and industrial waste.

Looking to increase production, the company purchased Lefort’s Mobile 1000 shear/baler/logger, which features a shear force of 1,000 tons.

“The machine works great,” says Gary Burley, maintenance supervisor for Derichebourg Recycling USA. “It shears more scrap than you can load it. It saves us time, too. What would have taken us a day to process, we do it in half a day with the Mobile 1000.”

The Mobile 1000 can shear up to 30 tons per hour, bale up to 30 tons per hour and log up to 50 tons per hour and features a pusher ram force of 150 tons. It is equipped with a Caterpillar C13 Acert Tier 4 Final 475-horsepower diesel engine.
