US Shredder, Trussville, Ala., will unveil its latest shredder model at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI) 2010 Annual Convention in San Diego this coming May.
According to the company, “The [new] shredder was designed specifically to compete with 60/85 models in regard to price and production, but that is where the comparison ends.”
According to US Shredder, “The rotor provides up to 30 percent more hammer impact and [is] 12 percent wider [and] provides advantages in the thickness of scrap that can be shred; the efficiency of the motor; and the longevity of the shredder itself.”
“The strength and durability of our rotor will eliminate many of the maintenance and service issues associated with smaller, lighter shredders,” says company president Bill Tigner. “Our new shredder will give operators advantages they have not had to date. The gap between the 60/85 and 80/104 models no longer exists.”
Tigner says that US Shredder engineers worked closely with the company’s fabrication team “to build a bigger, heavier shredder with a design that allows the shredder to be built at the cost of the lighter competitive models.”
The shredder will typically be offered with a DC 2300 hp drive system but can be provided with larger systems. US Shredder says it also provides “state-of-the-art controls, hydraulics, and long lasting castings” with its shredders, and has the option of adding an “efficient, cost-effective downstream” system.
