Rivergate Recycling Installs Bollegraaf Drum Feeder

Drum feeder can help users realize a two-tons-per-hour increase in production.

Rivergate Recycling, Nashville, Tenn., has purchased a Bollegraaf Drum Feeder to compliment its Bollegraaf Single Stream system.

 

Installed in the spring of 2005, Rivergate’s single-stream system processes 15 tons per hour.

 

According to Stamford, Conn.-based Van Dyk Baler Corp., the North American distributor of Bollegraaf equipment, single-stream customers can realize a two-tons-per-hour increase in production by changing to the drum feeder. The Bollegraaf Drum Feeder can improve the plant performance by providing constant flow of material to the sorting system, improving screening, and by freeing the loader do other things because he or she only needs to fill the drum feeder once or twice per hour, according to Van Dyk.

 

Other Van Dyk Baler Bollegraaf Drum Feeder installations include Homewood Disposal, Waste Management Recycle America of Minneapolis, TFC Recycling, Waste Management Recycle America of Liverpool, N.Y., Vista Fibers and Great Lakes Recycling.
