Single-shaft shredder

SWEED

SINGLE-SHAFT SHREDDER

SWEED’s new single-shaft shredder, the PCR1856, is the largest in the SWEED PCR series. Featuring a 125-hp motor, 18-inch rotor diameter, 56-inch rotor length, and a 50- x 57-inch cutting chamber, the shredder functions as either a primary or secondary processor in high-volume applications. The PCR1856 features a more extensive knife profile which enables larger materials to be pulled into the machine quicker and more efficiently, making it ideal for processing a wide range of bulky scrap. The machine also features fewer knives than its predecessor, but double the cutting capacity. Fewer knives allow for quicker knife changes and lower maintenance costs.

Dennis Eagle

ELECTRIC COLLECTION TRUCK

A new model of the all-electric eCollect refuse collection vehicle has been launched by Dennis Eagle, making it the second configuration of the eRCV. The company chose the 18 tonnes 4x2 model as the next eCollect to meet the demand for a small zero-emissions RCV suited to collection rounds in urban areas with restricted access. The 4x2 eCollect is a smaller version of the original 6x2 but features a 10-cubic-metre body capable of carrying 4.8 tonnes – the same as its diesel equivalent. The vehicle is fitted with three battery packs instead of five which provide the vehicle with 180 kWh of power, allowing for a full day’s work on a typical double-shift round.

Conveyor

STADLER

CONVEYOR

The new STADLER PX acceleration conveyor was built to meet the demand for higher throughput in sensor-based automatic sorting. The PX conveyor carries over the solid frame construction and long service life of its predecessors, the BB and DB models, while also featuring a new air stabilizer which ensures consistent sorting quality at faster speeds with light materials, resulting in enhanced purity rates. The PX also benefits from a compact size and is designed for easy transport. The frame, with the belt already mounted, can be separated into sections that can then be stacked for transport.

Lindner

SINGLE-SHAFT SHREDDER

Lindner’s upgraded Jupiter BW single-shaft primary shredder series is focused on optimizing the handling of plastic films for the downstream NIR sorting process. In addition to a constant volume flow and homogeneous larger particles, this also includes optimzsing the particle size for NIR sorting. With the new, resource-efficient Jupiter BW setup, Lindner has managed to reduce the proportion of fines generated by 50 percent. As a result, the newly developed cutting system of the Jupiter BW series is able to significantly increase the added value along the chain.

Autocar

ELECTRIC REFUSE TRUCK

Autocar has launched its first all-electric cabover refuse truck, the E-ACX. Two alpha units of the E-ACX will soon begin validation testing and demos with select customers. The E-ACX features a battery-agnostic solution and integrated cooling system that Autocar has engineered to adapt to different battery technologies. As innovations and improvements in the EV industry change, Autocar’s E-ACX is built to evolve and adapt to use any battery the customer decides for their programming. In addition, the truck uses Meritor E-axles designed to fit electric trucks, as well as a unique smart display integration for operator information and diagnostics.
