The U.S. Shredder and Castings Group, Miramar Beach, Florida, and A Fines Solution, Pompano Beach, Florida, have partnered to supply and finance nonferrous recovery systems.
U.S. Shredder has been a supplier of nonferrous systems throughout the past decade, while A Fines Solution began offering its systems in 2012. A Fines Solution has installed several systems under its financing model.
According to Bill Tigner, president of U.S. Shredder, “We receive calls all the time from shredder operators who realize they are missing nonferrous metals due to the fact that they are operating only two or even one eddy currents in their system or perhaps a sensor. However, due to market conditions or other factors, they are just not ready to make the investment for the equipment to recover what they are missing.”
Sam Jacobs, president of A Fines Solution, says, “In conversations with U.S. Shredder, we realized there were a lot of their customers who were delaying adding equipment even though they knew they were sending valuable nonferrous metals to the landfill. We thought that a concerted effort between U.S. Shredder and A Fines Solution would fill a key void in the marketplace for this kind of affordable solution.”
The companies say that for the program to be viable, auto shredder operators must be producing certain volumes of material. An analysis of the ASR (auto shredder residue) content also is necessary.
Companies interested in the program are encouraged to contact Tigner or Ryan Njavro at U.S. Shredder.
The U.S. Shredder and Castings Group offers scrap shredders, control systems, downstream systems, nonferrous recovery systems and air systems, as well as shredder castings, service, engineering, construction and installation.
