Demo run with the SIEBO 5000 – excellent screening The SIEBO drum screen was developed together with customers, extensively tried and tested. The screen is designed for use in recycling and disposal plants. The screening machine is characterised by its robust construction and high-performance components. During our live demo, we screened excavated soil into two fractions for qualitative upgrading. The extra-long and large screening drum achieves first-class results. With a width of 4 metres, the spacious feed hopper (6 m3) offers sufficient space for easy feeding with large wheel loaders. Baldus Tiefbau GmbH was convinced of this during our demo and loaded our SIEBO 5000. The extra-long discharge belts are perfectly adapted to high throughput rates and all belt frames are also hot-dip galvanised.The machine can be optionally adapted to your individual needs, please contact us for more information. Further benefits of the SIEBO are: The drum drive by chain guarantees powerful yet low-noise operation, the positive-locking hopper belt prevents “slipping” and is nearly maintenance-free, the hydraulically adjustable cleaning brush cleans the drum automatically, the huge side door for convenient maintenance operations. Optionally, the machine can be individually customised to your needs, so please do not hesitate to ask for more information. SIEBO is convincing – flexible, low service and low fuel consumption, can be used in less than 5 minutes and operated by just one person. Ideal for excavated soil, compost, biomass or similar materials.

Wood recycling plant already three years in operation In April 2019 CRJ Services, in partnership with HAAS Recycling Systems GmbH, commissioned a full turn-key wood recycling plant at Mill Farm Recycling. After three years of successful operation, CRJ return to speak with Will Ainsworth – Partner at Mill Farm Recycling to see how the plant has been performing. Following several years of processing their biomass products with a series of mobile shredders and screeners, Mill Farm required a static wood recycling plant that could accommodate their increased processing volumes and deliver an improved product in a range of specifications. In collaboration with CRJ Services, we designed and installed a customised static wood recycling plant. The already pre-shredded material is reduced to the required grain size with the vertical hammermill, ARTHOS 1600-E. 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 using a HAAS flat screen. The useful fractions are distributed to six large storage bays by means of chain conveyors. The oversize is fed back into the process. An extraction system to minimise dust emissions completes the HAAS solution. The required grain size can be varied as desired with a minimum of time. The screen basket of the hammermill can be changed in less than 30 minutes. This allows the chip size of the material to be specified. The screen decks in the flat screen can be easily replaced individually and thus offer the greatest possible flexibility. Commissioned in April 2019, the plant has now been successfully operating for three years. We took this opportunity to visit Will Ainsworth – Partner at Mill Farm Recycling to get his thoughts on the performance of the plant and discuss how this has improved their operation. “The plant has performed well with good throughput. The plant is delivering 120% increase in production compared to our mobile setup. Our mobile plant required to be blown down and fuelled up daily which doesn’t sound like a big issue, but it can sometimes take well over an hour every day out of your production time, we currently blow down our plant once a week which takes approximately a couple of hours.” With their mobile setup, producing different product specs involved the exchange of trommel drums and screening baskets within their screeners and shredders. Will stated, “The access to the hammermill hammers and screen is very quick and easy. Changing screens within the flat screen takes less than 5 minutes to change each section, and we are able to create our 3 product sizes and still screen for oversize at the same time.” One of the defining features of the new plant is the longevity of the wear parts, and ease of maintenance. “The part we have changed the most frequent is the dust seals around the chip screen which we change approx. every 9 months. Apart from that the plant is fairly low maintenance with the only other wear parts changed to date being 1 full set of hammers and a row of 5 milling plates for the hammer mill. We bought a quantity of parts when we purchased the plant, this has meant that we have most of the required parts on the floor ready which has reduced downtime to a minimum.” The HAAS plant also includes a dust extraction system which removes dust from various sections of the plant. “The dust extraction system reduces the dust around the plant and building to a minimum which is great for not only the working conditions but fire safety too.” Will Ainsworth, Partner bei Mill Farm Recycling

PROVEN SCREENING TECHNOLOGY BECOMES MOBILE The new ALVA starscreen forms a perfect coordinated team with the TYRON pre-shredder. The stationary version of the ALVA screen is already impressive in countless applications – now the technology is going mobile! With its intelligent 2-shaft system, the HAAS TYRON easily shreds a wide range of materials. In waste wood, the German Viking is a real weapon! The extra-fine tool configuration guarantees uniform wood chips and a high throughput. Iron, such as metal plates, hinges and nails, are reliably separated by the shredder’s neodym overband magnet. The pre-shredded material is then fed directly to the ALVA starscreen. The ALVA starscreen reliably separates two fractions. The highlight is the integrated screw conveyor for collecting and discharging the fine fraction. The material is transferred to the discharge conveyor by the screw conveyor. The oversize material can be fed automatically back to the shredder or stockpiled by the radial discharge belt. ALVA is compact and impresses with an outstanding screening capacity (200 m3/h). The assembly on a hook-lift frame provides flexibility. The electric drive and the wear-resistant, screw conveyor guarante maximum efficiency. Alva is suitable for screening out pre-shredded material/s in addition to waste wood: Roots Green waste Waste wood Railway sleepers Pallets Paper and cardboard   Experience the strengths of the mobile HAAS Duo live at the VDMA Demonstration Days during IFAT in Munich!

“HAAS TYRON – a very reliable machine” Grays Recycling Services is a family-run business providing waste services across Fochabers, in the Scottish Highlands. Starting out as a metal recycling business in 2004, GRS has since expanded their service offerings to include skip hire and commercial trade waste services. GRS uses a range of processes to recycle and extract value from their incoming waste streams. A large percentage of their waste is generated through their skip hire and commercial waste services. This waste contains various valuable materials that can be reclaimed through their picking station leaving a clean aggregate product. Having built a great relationship across two successful projects, GRS once again returned to CRJ Services for a third time in 2021, requiring a versatile mobile shredder to replace their aging Powershredder. “It has been a pleasure to deal with Grays Recycling Services over the years. Having worked with them for over 4 years, it has been great to witness their growth, and to be able to supply quality equipment to meet their requirements. I look forward to working with them again in the future.” Damian Casey – Area Sales Manager at CRJ Services As GRS is located in a remote part of the UK, they must ensure their lorries are at maximum weight in order to efficiently transfer their waste to waste to energy plants. To reach the maximum weight in their lorries, the material must be shredded down to allow for a more compact load. This reduces the number of miles driven and in turn reduces their carbon footprint. As GRS is a multi-waste processor, the required shredder needed to be able to produce a consistent particle size across various materials to meet the required specification of the waste to energy plants. CRJ Services suggested the HAAS TYRON and brought the TYRON 2000XL 2.0 to site for a demonstration. “We have been delighted with the service received from CRJ Services. We received a demonstration of the HAAS TYRON shredder before we purchased, and this certainly helped us make up our mind.  The machine was delivered on time and CRJ provided in-depth training and demonstration which was very much appreciated. We are very pleased with the performance of the HAAS TYRON. It has performed all tasks well and to requirement so far; a very reliable machine.” Kenny Gray – Owner at Grays Recycling Services The HAAS TYRON has four shredding programs: wood, green waste, general waste and a fourth customisable setting. This, coupled with the ease of maintenance provided by the TYRON, makes it the ideal machine for GRS. Link to YouTube Video HAAS TYRON at Grays Recycling Services

A heroic story of a used TYRON in Sweden Ted Augustsson is our reliable sales partner for Sweden since many years. We have already realised numerous projects together and provided long-term support. A few days ago, another project was added. Uddevalla entreprenad AB operates in the field of waste treatment and shredding for more than 20 years. The managing director Magnus Andersson has used many types and brands of shredding machines. Not every material could be shredded sufficiently with these machines. Now Magnus Andersson decided to buy a used HAAS TYRON 2500-E. The primary shredder, built in 2006, has already performed around 30,000 operating hours. “Experienced Vikings“, as the used shredders are called, always receive a comprehensive check from our service team. The stationary TYRON 2500-E was given a general refurbishment and fitted with a new belt and new magnet. At the RagnSells site in Trollhättan, the TYRON is the first machine in a plant with a downstream screen. 20,000 – 30,000 tonnes of mixed, tough waste are shredded here. Currently, all the materials are shredded that the previous 2-shaft shredder of a different supplier could not process. The machine driver at UE AB says only one thing about the TYRON 2500-E: “From morning to night, it’s now just PUSHING, PUSHING, PUSHING.” The solution with the HAAS TYRON has opened many different doors for UE for continued growth with waste flows and new business opportunities. TM Recycling solutions AB wishes Magnus and his staff good luck and continued “GOOD RELOADING”. “We at TM AB are looking forward to the future and say: GO GREEN, GO ELECTRIC, TM Recycling and HAAS Recycling GmbH can supply those solutions with good experience since many years!”. Ted Augustsson, Sales Director TM AB

A new waste wood processing plant was needed for an annual volume of 30,000 – 60,000 tonnes of waste wood of all grades A to C. „It was perfect timing from HAAS. We at CUP were just start-ing the project planning for the new waste wood recycling plant when HAAS introduced itself to us. In advance, we visited a couple of already installed HAAS systems and were able to personally convince ourselves of the performance of the systems. Already at that time, we have been impressed by the compact design and the construction of the conveyor belts and chain conveyors. The performance of the systems was outstanding. The overall package from HAAS convinced us! We feel very comfortable with HAAS and maintain a co-operative business relationship.” Michael Völker (Organisation WERNER Entsorgergemein-schaft) and Ralf Berninger (Technical Operations Manager at WERNER RC GmbH & Co. Recycling Centrum KG) Overview of the plant process: The TYRON 2000-E XL 2.0, equipped with fine tools 9/9-4, pre-shreds the waste wood. The following electric overband magnet separates the exposed coarse iron parts. A bi-directio-nal conveyor transports the pre- shredded waste wood (0 – 300 mm) either to the storage bay outside the building or to the ARTHOS 1600-E hammermill for secondary shredding. The ARTHOS shreds up to 40 tonnes of pre-shredded waste wood per hour to a size < 100 mm. The ballistic chute guarantees trouble- free operation and therefore protects the hammermill, downtimes are minimised! A heavy chain conveyor equipped with an automatic chain tensio-ning and chain lubrication system transports the material to the non-ferrous separator. The reversible screw conveyor underneath the non-ferrous separator enables a special fraction to be discharged directly into processing building or, alternatively, the end product to be transported onwards to the fully automatic storage bay filling. Finally the end product is transported with a movable conveyor belt to the se-lected storage bay (in total 5 bays). The entire plant is equipped with a dust suppression system. State-of-the-art misting technology binds the existing dust.   “The system was designed by HAAS in a way that we can process pre-shredded material separately. Which means that the remaining part of the plant (almost 70 %) is not in operation during this time. This guarantees a minimisation of costs in terms of wear, maintenance and energy consumption!” Ralf Berninger, Technical Operations Manager at WERNER RC GmbH /CUP Recycling GmbH

Powerful used Viking banishes single-shaft shredder RSA AG Recycling- und Sortieranlagen in Switzerland is part of the Risch Group. In Buchs, RSA AG operates a sorting plant for the recovery of recyclable materials. Whether from industry, commerce or private households, waste and recyclable materials are in the right place here. These are sorted, processed and forwarded to the appropriate recycling or waste incineration plant. In order to optimise waste shredding, the single-shaft shredder previously used by a competitor was to be replaced. Steffen Heymann, our sales representative for Switzerland, defined the requirements for an optimal waste shredder together with Martin Risch. The shredding results of the HAAS TYRON were impressive! So that RSA AG could convince themselves of our performance promises in practice, we provided a mobile TYRON as a demo machine. The decision to buy was subsequently made by the heart of the TYRON – the intelligent 2-shaft system with independently driven shredding shafts. The asynchronously running shaft system offers crucial advantages over synchronously running shredding systems. Wrapping of wires and long-fibre materials is avoided! Shaft speed, direction of rotation and reversing times are individually adjusted depending on the feed material. The sensor-monitored shredding system initiates automatic reversing in the event of overload, thus protecting the tools. Resource-saving used machine At HAAS, as a manufacturer of recycling machines, we attach great importance to the long-term use of our machines. In this way, we not only contribute to lasting customer satisfaction, but also conserve valuable resources. Our “Experienced Vikings”, which are HAAS used machines that have already proven themselves in operation, also conserve resources. The decisive advantages are the cost savings compared to a new machine and the generally short availability. “Due to a replacement and machine upgrade of a long-time HAAS customer, I was able to offer RSA AG a pre-owned stationary TYRON 2500, manufactured 2013, with 7,250 operating hours. Completely refurbished and repainted, the TYRON was put into operation in Switzerland. The separate drive unit (Power Pack) of the TYRON was installed in another part of the building on a separate platform. The location, clean and well ventilated, reduces cleaning and maintenance to a minimum. Large double doors provide ideal access for service and maintenance work. I wish RSA AG excellent shredding results and many years of trouble-free operation of the “experienced viking!” Steffen Heymann, HAAS Sales Representative
