Metal Management Inc., Chicago, has announced that it will install a Newell Riverside “Mega” shredder at its Phoenix location on South 35th Ave.
Newell Riverside, with offices in San Antonio and Moline, Ill., will supply a 120x104 Mega shredder with a 6,000 hp electric motor. The massive shredder will be able to shred up to three automobiles at once, using 1,000-pound hammers to complete the task in less than 20 seconds.
“This investment demonstrates our commitment to continue to be the leader in the Arizona market,” says Metal Management chairman and CEO Albert Cozzi. In a news release, the company says the installation is part of a strategic effort by the company to expand its customer base in Arizona and the western U.S.
In addition to the shredder yard in Phoenix, Metal Management has western scrap facilities in Tucson, Ariz.; Salt Lake City, Utah; and in Colorado Springs and Denver, Colo. Each of these locations includes an auto shredder except for the Colorado Springs site. Additionally, Metal Management operates scrap facilities throughout the Midwest and Eastern U.S.Latest from Recycling Today
