See one of the many ways Metso's M&J 4000M can be used and what it can produce.
The high volume of tires gives them a propensity to fill landfills faster. With Metso’s advanced shredding technology and as pictured here, tires can be reduced to minimize the volume and save as much valuable landfill area as possible.
Extending the life of landfills is the first step toward sustainability, and the versatility and variable configurations of Metso’s mobile preshredders make them the best tool in the market for achieving that goal.
Pictured below is a closer look at the output size after tires have been processed by an M&J PreShred 4000M.
Metso introduces its F-Series fine shredders, which include the F140, F210 and F320.
The M&J F-Series fine shredder family includes three products that encompass nearly all industry needs. The all-new fine shredders have set a new standard for the production of alternative fuels, such as refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and solid recovered fuel (SRF).
These shredders guarantee at least 90 percent output below 50 millimeters and can match all capacity requirements up to 23 tons per hour. Additionally, the new F-Series promises advanced cutting technology that leaves virtually no fine particles. The shredders also boast minimal heat generation, which can protect facilities from time-wasting plastic melting.
In addition to Metso’s guarantee of consistently homogeneous, quality RDF/SRF output, Metso offers top-of-the-line service throughout ownership of an F-Series or any one of our shredders. Maintenance is made quick, easy and reliable for all Metso products.
See why ADRS uses the M&J 4000 shredder by Metso for alternative daily cover.
After Yancey Bros. sold an M&J 4000-8 shredder to ADRS, the recycling company immediately put this product to work at its high-volume C&D transfer station.
ADRS is running shredded material directly into the trommel screen for dirt/fines removal. The company then sells it back to a landfill for alternative daily cover (ADC). The shredded material is then diverted back to the landfill, where ADRS receives price breaks and benefits for supplying the densified material.
ADRS has a long-term strategy of installing material recovery facilities, where the company will be able to sort and remarket all reclaimed materials. Thanks to Metso’s technology, ADRS not only can improve its own economic efficiencies but help its nearby landfill enhance its sustainability.
M&J 4000M mobile preshredders come with a variety of configurations and desired output levels to meet companies’ shredding needs. They are available as track-mounted or wheel-mounted options and meet all European and American emissions standards.
These mobile preshredders are constructed with a robust frame, allowing for minimum energy consumption throughout operation. The control unit’s inclusion of two custom programs for tailored shredding routines helps maximize its performance in any application, be it anything from municipal solid waste to commercial or bulky waste.
State will assess sliding fee based on recyclability, says CARE organization.
The Dalton, Georgia-based group Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) says the state of California is proceeding with a carpet differential assessment plan that will take effect in the Golden State on April 1, 2022.
The plan, codified in California Assembly Bill (AB) 729, requires carpet buyers to pay one of four levels of assessment, calculated by carpet type and recycled content percentage. The law requires CARE, as the carpet stewardship organization for the state, to implement the differential assessment on each square yard of carpet in a way designed to reflect its cost burden to recycle.
CARE’s proposed differential assessment plan, which CalRecycle has conditionally approved, is based on two factors: carpet materials, as in broadloom compared with tile, and percent of postconsumer content, as in greater than or equal to 10 percent postconsumer content, and less than 10 percent postconsumer content. The new assessments replace a previous one of 35 cents per square yard for all
“This assessment change undoubtedly is a burden for the approximately 2,000 California retailers and 79 carpet mills with operations in the state,” says CARE Executive Director Bob Peoples. “CARE is working with retailers, mills, distributors and software companies to clarify and ease the transition. The good news is that the assessment is not increasing for broadloom carpet and will even go down slightly for broadloom containing more than 10 percent post-consumer content.”
