Shred-Tech,
Custom designed specifically for the bottling industry, the BCS-50 system destroys and separates liquid product from solid aluminum and plastic packaging materials, allowing the highest possible levels of recycling and cost reduction for beverage manufacturers, according to Shred-Tech.
“Shred-Tech understands the needs of our customers, and we pride ourselves in designing destruction and recycling systems that meet our customers’ industry-specific requirements,” says Rob Glass, CEO of Shred-Tech. “We see the beverage industry as one of the most environmentally advanced when it comes to recycling materials, and we’re pleased to be a partner in this effort.”
Shred-Tech engineers have designed the BCS-50 knife profile and configuration for maximum throughput of 15,000 pounds per hour and optimum liquid separation. Several design refinements also have been incorporated into the system’s STST-50 shredder, which simplify maintenance and increase shredder durability.
False walls at either end of the cutting chamber provide bearing and seal protection, as well as sectional cleaning fingers. A lightweight end door ensures that disassembly of the cutting chamber is quick and easy.
Because of the corrosive nature of many beverages, Shred-Tech uses the highest quality and resistant finishes, including stainless steel, powder coat and galvanized finishes. The BCS-50 system is also easy to clean and includes water spray nozzles at key points throughout the system.
Additionally, the Shred-Tech hex shaft drive system offers the highest knife tip force of any equivalent shredder on the market, the company says. The unique design of the BCS-50’s hex shafts, which are several times stronger than a keyed shaft, maximizes the knife placement options and allows for easy knife removal and machine maintenance.
Designed by certified Shred-Tech technicians, the BCS-50 control panel features illuminated function buttons, keyed power switch, fused lockable disconnect, hour meter and a programmable logic controller for various shredder functions including knife reversal upon overload. The BCS-50 can also be customized with optional features including:
PLC interfacing for peripheral equipment
Discharge conveyors
Modem capabilities
Voltage range
Additional spray nozzles
