The US Shredder and Castings Group announced earlier this year that it is now offering “Wire-Less” RF Remote Push Button Stations for its shredder downstreams.
“As our company developed system upgrades, especially for non ferrous applications, we looked for efficient, cost effective ways to install them, as well as operational advantages,” said company President Bill Tigner.
The latest addition to the company’s Shredder Control systems, the RF Stations can be mounted anywhere and require no extensive wiring. Typical savings on electrical installations of non ferrous upgrades is conservatively twenty thousand dollars. Extensive wiring and conduit of traditional systems are eliminated. One of the most common applications has been for the many “off line” non ferrous systems the company has developed.
Earlier this year, at ISRI 2010 in San Diego US shredder unveiled their newest unit, a heavy duty scrap shredder designed for small to medium sized yards. According to US Shredder, their new model has 30% more hammer impact than competitive models and is 12% wider.
The latest model shredder was designed to specifically compete with 6085 models in regards to price and production, but that is where the comparison ends. The rotor which provides the higher levels of hammer impact and inreased width provides advantages in the thickness of scrap that can be shred, the efficiency of the motor, and longevity of the shredder itself. Many shredder experts agree that the 6085 is relatively a nonferrous or light ferrous shredder.
According to company President Bill Tigner, “The basic size of the 6085 is primarily the problem. The strength and durability of our rotor will eliminate many of the maintenance and service issues associated with smaller, lighter shredders. Our new shredder will give operators advantages they have not had to date. The gap between the 6085 and 80104 models exist no longer.” Tigner says US Shredder Engineers worked closely with its Fabrication team to build a bigger, heavier shredder with a design that allows the unit to be built at the cost of the lighter competitive models.
These new models also feature state of the art controls, hydraulics, and long lasting castings. The shredder will be typically offered with a DC 2,300-hp drive system and can be provided with larger systems. An efficient, cost effective downstream is also available.
The US Shredder and Castings Group offers scrap shredders, control systems, downstream systems, non ferrous recovery, air systems, scrap shears, balers, and loggers; as well as shredder castings, service and consulting to the worldwide scrap industry.
