Recycling Product News 2021 Top Introductions

This year saw the release of many exciting new machines and technologies. From screens, grinders and crushers, to material handlers and wheel loaders built for recycling, to the latest software, handheld metal analyzers and optical sorters, 2021 was a year full of innovation from our industry's leading manufacturers. Read on for our picks for top equipment and technology introductions of the year.

A Liebherr L 550 XPower wheel loader

Liebherr

Liebherr L 550 XPower and L 556 XPower wheel loaders have been updated and are now equipped with a standard, power-split travel drive which increases engine power with consistently low fuel consumption. This is especially useful in scrap and other industrial applications where a loader may be equipped with heavy protective devices or solid rubber tires. These models also include an increase in performance in the working hydraulics which has enabled dynamic lift and tip functions, irrespective of the size or weight of the working tool. Structural modifications to the lift arms allow for higher breakout, holding and retrieval forces than previously, particularly in the upper lifting range.

CP Group's OCC auger screen

CP Group 

CP Group released its new OCC auger screen, which is engineered to separate old corrugated cardboard (OCC) in material recovery facilities. The OCC Auger Screen separates mid- to large-sized OCC using a series of steel cantilevered tri-lobe augers that create agitation to liberate material and create a clean OCC fraction. It is ideal for both commercial and single-stream applications. The OCC auger screen does not need to be preceded by a pre-sorter, can go directly after the infeed conveyor and, according to CP, provides the same benefits as a disc screen in separating material without wrapping.

A Bandit Industries Model 1425 Track compact horizontal grinder

Bandit

Bandit Industries' new Model 1425 Track is a highly productive and compact horizontal grinder, now available on tracks. According to Bandit, this model is equipped with many of the same features as the original tow-behind version and, by adding tracks, it has substantially increased capability in wood waste and other organics recycling and composting applications. The Model 1425 track is equipped with a 7-foot-long x 24-inch-wide steel or rubber belt infeed conveyor and a stationary discharge with a stacking height of 7 feet. To further enhance the machines capabilities, a grinder head or chipper drum can be ordered, giving it the ability to produce mulch or a dimensional chip.

A Harris Waste Management Group GPS Series Predator ferrous baler

Harris

Harris Waste Management Group announced the newest product in its line of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap processing equipment: the GPS Series Predator ferrous baler. Developed in partnership with G.P.S.

Bunting Magnetics Co. feeder shredder

Bunting Magnetics Co.

Bunting's new shredder feeder conveyor is designed for recycling plastics - both in-house regrind and from secondary sources. It provides an even and controlled feed into a shredder or granulator, and accommodates a metal detector or magnetic separator to protect the shredder or granulator from metal damage. It can accommodate different designs of magnetic separator including overband magnets, suspension magnets, plate magnets and pulley magnets. The design of the conveyor limits potential magnetization of the supporting frame to ensure clean discharge of captured ferrous metal.
