METSO OUTOTEC LAUNCHES INDEX ONLINE TOOL FOR METAL RECYCLING MACHINES

The new Index operating and production data collection system from Metso Outotec’s Metal Recycling business transfers relevant data from the recycling machine directly to the customer’s equipment.

Metso Outotec Metal Recycling has taken the next step in terms of digitisation and, with Index, introduced an intelligent way to increase machine productivity, optimise the costbenefit ratio and identify limiting parameters at an early stage. “Accessible via mobile app or from the dashboard any time, one click is all it takes to find out immediately how high the current capacity utilisation is, which material is currently being processed, how many operating hours the equipment has already been running for, or what the general condition of the metal recycling machine is,” explains Peter Thomas, Director of Products and Technology for Metal Recycling in Metso Outotec. All the equipment data can be visualised, displayed and analysed in the Index web portal and if necessary, transferred to programs and systems designed for controlling purposes. “We are talking about modern workflow and performance monitoring, which serves as the perfect basis for evaluating the various key performance indicators (KPIs),” he continues. The server used to back up data is currently one of the most secure servers on the market. It is located in Europe and is therefore subject to European data protection regulations. Index will be available immediately as standard equipment in these Lindemann shears: EtaCut II, EtaCut, PowerCut/LUC as well as PowerCut Wings/LIS and LU. In addition, customers have the option of retrofitting their current stock shears of the previously mentioned machine types with Index. “Additionally, Index will soon be available for presses and shredder systems for Metso Outotec’s metal recycling customers,” says Peter Thomas.

TEREX ECOTEC’S TDS V20 SHOWS ITS POWER AND RELIABILITY AT THE PEUTE GROUP

Peute Recycling, a Dutch company and part of the internationally operating Peute Group, has invested in a Terex Ecotec TDS V20 medium speed shredder to enhance its ability to produce a high-quality and standard of recycled paper at its facility in Alblasserdam, The Netherlands.

Peute Recycling has an established partnership with Terex Ecotec distributor, Troost Machinehandel B.V., having purchased various kinds of machinery from the company and been satisfied with their partnership. Rudolf Peute, Operational Manager at Peute Recycling explains,“A lot of brands make good products, but it is the service partner who determines how well a product is being placed in the market. Additionally, their advice is important for making the right choices. “We needed a diesel-powered shredder, because we don’t have enough electrical power for such tough machines at our current location. We also wanted the paper to be homogenous and compressed in similar dimensions, a requirement from one of our largest customers,” according to Rudolf. After investigating Terex Ecotec’s equipment options with Troost Machinehandel B.V., Peute Recycling opted for the TDS V20, which they found was particularly suited to their operation. Its ability to produce a controlled product size in one pass would prove to be of huge benefit to Peute Recycling, saving both time and fuel. The machine is equipped with a Stage 5 diesel engine of 493 horsepower, reversible hydraulic fan, internal fire suppression system, rubber pads on the steel tracks (because the machine is moved indoors) and a long conveyor belt, with a 5-metre discharge height. The TDS V20 gave the desired results during testing, with Rudolf saying that the team at Peute Recycling were very impressed with the performance of the machine. The TDS V20 mainly shreds industrial types of paper, such as coffee pods, pastry cups, rolls of wrapping paper, packaging material, magazines and newspaper, which often needs to be reduced for a certain field of application. A major application for the company is a semi-finished product for the fibreboard/gypsum industry, where paper compositions are used to make gypsum fibre reinforced boards. Peute Recycling has found the TDSV20 to be a robust machine, an important characteristic for reducing paper. “The machine uses a certain type of cutting technique rather than tearing which gives the right results for us. “Paper is a strange product that releases a lot of forces, which can be problematic. For example, shredders that can process the most difficult materials can struggle when you throw in a pack of paper. Reducing material is a specialist profession.” Rudolf adds: “We have been running for about 600-700 hours to date and see that the wear of the cutting teeth is at a low level—we haven’t had to change teeth yet. Costs are also saved due to lower fuel consumption compared to previous shredders, which is another plus for our bottom line. We haven’t looked back since investing in our TDSV20.”

MORE OPERATORS THAN EVER CHOOSING TILTROTATORS FROM ROTOTILT

Tiltrotators from Rototilt have rapidly become one of the leading brands in Ireland and the UK, with the Irish market being served by Cullion Plant since 2014.

The County Tyrone based dealership is fully equipped to handle all sales, service and spare parts for the complete Rototilt range across the island of Ireland. The opening of Rototilt Ltd’s dedicated UK office has gone one step further to strengthen its position in this part of the world; it has given Rototilt a more focused approach to the market here and throughout the UK, while offering an invaluable sales and technical training facility. Tiltrotators from Rototilt virtually transforms an excavator into a flexible machine that opens up the opportunity for operators to take on more challenging tasks; not only can they get them done faster, and more efficient, but with less manpower such is the product’s versatility. Rototilt’s tiltrotators are robust and reliable thanks to their cast rotor housing which is both stronger and lighter than welded alternatives. The worm gear on all models, for example, boasts improved geometry and stricter wheel and screw manufacturing tolerances, providing smoother operation and reduced friction. The worm gear is also equipped with a new worm screw with integrated lubrication channels, which improves and further extends the service life of the tiltrotators. Large bearing surfaces effectively absorb and distribute excavation forces. The specially designed guard for the hydraulic motor is integrated with the cast rotor housing and protects it against impact and shocks from beneath.

Advantages

Rototilt’s tiltrotators are oil filled. The advantages of oil over grease are numerous, including continuous lubrication, better heat dissipation, a longer service life, particle removal, fewer lubrication points and cleaner components, the latter simplifying maintenance. Rototilt’s central lubrication system offers convenient tiltrotator lubrication. It is designed to be connected to the machine’s central lubrication system and features an easily accessible interface on the mount. The system also simplifies manual lubrication if the machine lacks a central lubrication system. Self-lubricating bushings on the cylinder attachments mean fewer lubrication points and consequently simpler maintenance. All Rototilt cylinders feature load management as standard, which increases workplace safety; the load is secure, even in the event of a hose rupture, for example

Control systems

With Rototilt you can choose the control system that optimises your excavator and contributes to increased performance, better handling and more options for settings. The Innovative Control System, ICS, is a smart control system that features a clear and simple display that quickly gives you overview and control. With the ergonomically designed handle you can control tilting, rotation and any extra function during the same excavation movement. Choosing the pulse function, for example, will help you to quickly and evenly spread the material. You can also get individual operator settings and smart troubleshooting that even suggests corrective actions. An important ICS function is the safety solution SecureLock. With a built-in sensor in the quick coupler, you get a warning both on the display and with an audio signal if anything is wrong with the tool coupling. Continuous monitoring ensures that the tool remains locked in place. The safety lock also lets you know when tools are worn and require attention. For dual hydraulic circuits common on smaller excavators, TLE (Tilt Lock Extra) is an attractive and cost-effective control system alternative; it also works with larger excavators with dual circuits and can be complemented with SecureLock.
