U.S. Shredder Introduces Mega-Batch Feeder

The U.S. Shredder and Castings Group, Brookhaven, Miss., has introduced what it calls the “heaviest batch feeder for the scrap and shredder industry.”

The Mega-Batch Feeder was originally designed for a recent installation that processes mined auto shredder fluff; however there are many applications for the feeder in the scrap industry, according to U.S. Shredder

According to company President Bill Tigner, “The durability and design of the feeder literally makes it unparalleled in similar equipment that is supplied to the scrap industry.”

The Mega-Batch Feeder is designed to accept full loads of material loaded directly from a dump truck. It measures 8 feet wide, is built in lengths from 20 feet and longer and has a 48-cubic-yard hopper. Feed rates are and can be adjusted from 5 feet per minute to 150 feet per minute.

The batch feeder uses a proprietary sealed belt capable of handling shred, ASR and waste products and a “kick back” drum to properly meter material. The feeder comes equipped with motor, power pack and electrical controls.
