Green Waste Success
with the Upgraded
HAAS TYRON
The German designed and manufactured HAAS TYRON has long been considered the most versatile and reliable waste shredder on the market. Following the success of the 1st generation machine, the engineering department at HAAS has given the TYRON an upgrade.
The TYRON boasts impressive performance across a range of input materials, including green waste. There are many success stories where the TYRON has increased the processing capabilities of our customers, whilst reducing their running costs and downtime.
The HAAS TYRON is a powerful, twin-shaft, slow-speed shredder renowned in the waste and material processing industries for its low running costs and ease of maintenance. It offers a range of tooling configurations, shredding programs, and options to customise the machine to specific materials and operational requirements.
The twin shafts are independently driven, which greatly decreases the occurrence of material wrapping around the shafts and enables the shafts to self-clean. This unique HAAS twin shaft system reduces wear and downtime in comparison to pre-shredders with synchronised shafts.
The Tyron comes with three default shredding programs tailored to wood, organic waste, and general waste. There is a fourth bespoke program that can be tailored to suit an operator’s specific material.
The HAAS TYRON comes in three sizes: 1500, 2000 and 2500 with the number denoting the length of the shredding shafts (1500 = 1.5m shafts). The power and throughput capabilities increase as the size of machine increases. You can expect to see throughputs of up to 35tph with the 1500, 60tph with the 2000 and 85tph with the 2500 when working on a typical organic waste material.
Angus Council was one of the first customers to operate a new generation TYRON 2000XL as a dedicated green waste shredder. Angus Council process 30,000 tonnes of green waste each year at their green waste recycling facility in Forfar.
Over 50% of their green waste intake is from kerbside collections, meaning most of the waste being processed is grass cuttings, which can be difficult to shred once it begins to decompose. They are also faced with root balls, which are notoriously difficult to shred. Therefore, Angus Council stipulated that the new shredder must have twin shredding shafts, to combat these challenging materials.
One of Angus Council’s main objectives was to reduce the amount of time spent clearing blockages, which was an issue with their previous synchronised shaft shredder. The TYRON benefits from two independently driven shafts, which have an integrated cycle and prevents blockages.
