Shredding and conveying technology for the recycling industry

AKS Skip Hire is convinced of the HAAS TYRON! AKS Skip Hire Services Ltd, is a family run skip hire business based in Norwich and also a valued customer of our distributor CRJ. They supply over 600 skips across their region and offer a tipping service at their waste transfer station.  AKS recycle 100% of the material they receive, 85% of which is done on site, with the remaining 15% used by a local power station as fuel.  They process a range of waste streams with the majority being construction and demolition waste.  As the company continues to grow and increase the tonnages of waste they process, the decision was taken to purchase a shredder that could reduce the volume of bulky C&D waste on site. The shredder needed to be able to reduce the bulk of the waste, while producing a consistent particle size than can be easily picked through their picking line. “The new shredder was needed as we had increasing volumes of waste coming in to our site. We have found that shredding the waste down allows us to process it quicker through our picking line. As with all transfer stations, I think you always tend to need more room, and this way we can control the volumes of waste on site and process the material quicker.”  (Keven Nixon – Director at AKS Skip Hire Services)  As CRJ Services had an existing relationship with AKS, they were once again consulted on the purchase of AKS’s new shredder. Keven Nixon, director at AKS Skip Hire had several machines come to site for demonstrations, including the HAAS TYRON 2000 XL 2.0 provided by CRJ.  “I looked at two of three different types of machine, and the HAAS was the best value for money. The demonstration was good, and (CRJ’s) team came to site and did a good demo for me, which swung my decision.  The machine did exactly what I wanted it to do. I tried every material I needed to, and it performed above expectations.”  https://haas-recycling.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/33652-AKS-HAAS-CRJ_TYRON-2000XL-2.0_CD-Waste_202012-Ausschnitt2.mp4   The HAAS TYRON is an incredibly versatile machine, which is perfect for AKS who processes various waste streams on site. The independently driven twin shafts have a number of settings for different waste streams, which allows the customer to switch the materials being shred in a matter of minutes.   Not only does the HAAS TYRON boast impressive performance, but it is also very easy and time efficient to maintain. This is in part down to the ground level access to the underneath of the shredding chamber, as well as the increased amount of space around the engine and hydraulic compartments, making daily checks and servicing easier and quicker.    “It is still early days as we have only had the machine 3 or 4 weeks, but so far so good. The machine is performing well, and the back up has been great. We have also had the telematics (online monitoring) and fire suppression fitted, so we are all up and running, and everything is going well at the moment.“ Im Interview: Keven Nixon – Director at AKS Skip Hire Services

Mill Farm Recycling Ltd is a family business, based in Stafford UK with roots in agriculture. Today they supply local biomass power plants and farmers with high quality compost, as well as quality chips. The chips are used as fuel in power stations and by farmers as ‘animal bedding’. Mill Farm required a stationary wood recycling plant to produce high quality wood chips from pre-shredded waste wood A1. Together with our sales partner CRJ Services, we supplied a precisely fitting turnkey processing line. With the vertical hammermill, ARTHOS 1600-E, the already pre-shredded material is reduced to the required particle size. Magnetic and non-ferrous separators sort ferrous and non-ferrous metals from the material flow. Finally, the recycling chips are screened into four different grain sizes with a HAAS flat screen: The single fractions are distributed by chain conveyors to six large storage bays. The oversize material is returned to the process. Maximum flexibility in the particle size of the chips was particularly important to Mill Farm. Thanks to the quick-change screen system of the hammermill, the screen basket can be changed easily and quickly. The screen decks in the flat screen can also be changed in a very short time. The particle size can thus be varied with only minimal downtime and thus adapted to the current demand.
