Terex Ecotec's compact shredder for versatile waste processing

Terex Ecotec has launched the TDS 815 shredder, saying that it is a powerhouse to tackle the diverse challenges that waste materials present.

"The machine's versatility, coupled with its intelligent load-sensing hydraulics and quick-change shafts, positions it as a reliable and high-performing solution for various waste materials," said Pawel Kononczuk, business development director at Terex Ecotec. "It's not just a shredder; it's a strategic asset for tackling the diverse challenges of waste processing."

Inside of the TDS 815 shredder is a compact 1.5-metre twin-shaft shredding unit, which allows for efficient material reduction and makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of waste materials. The TDS 815 also offers users flexibility with the option to operate the shredder with either synced or independent shafts to deal with various application requirements. Design features include a track sub-frame with bolt-on tracks, catering to both track and track/hooklift versions. This adaptability lets users tailor their approach to various waste types and processing challenges, ensuring ideal results every time.

A CAT 4.4 140kw Stage V engine powers the TDS 815. With a weight of 16,500 kilograms, a 3.3-metre stockpile height, and quick setup time, the TDS 815 is equipped to handle large throughputs to tackle skip waste, bulky waste, household waste, wood waste, green waste, building waste, asphalt, and construction and demolition rubble.

The TDS 815 also utilizes intelligent load-sensing hydraulics, a key feature that prevents damage to shaft teeth and extends the machine's lifespan. Additionally, the quick-change shafts and combs, along with replaceable wear-resistant plates, help streamline maintenance and reduce downtime.

When it comes to manoeuvrability and transport, the TDS 815 uses a tracking system coupled with a hydraulic raise and lower chassis to ensure smooth operations and diagnostics. Additionally, the TDS 815 has containerized transport capability, offering an efficient shipping solution and enhancing its mobility and ease of deployment.

The TDS 815 comes standard with the T-Link telemetry system, a tool that offers real-time insights into the machine's performance, machine management, and uptime. Accessible through a tablet or smartphone, it provides a comprehensive view of the machine's location, fuel consumption, and operating statistics.
