 Recycling
Shredders
   The recently upgraded TYRON also sees the introduction of foldable side panels, which allows for direct ground access to the shredding chamber. Side access mitigates the risk of someone having to enter the shredding chamber for maintenance and hard facing. HAAS have also improved access to the hydraulic and engine compartment of the machine, making it easier and safer to conduct maintenance and servicing.
Aiden Devlin is the Site Green Waste Controller at Angus Council’s Forfar green waste recycling facility. Aiden
explained that the new HAAS TYRON 2000XL 2.0 was performing excellently:
“Comparing tonnage throughput with our previous shredder, the HAAS is
shredding almost three times the amount of green waste in the
same time frame, whilst producing a product of
equal size and quality”.
When asked about his favourite feature, he explained it was, “the option to change each shaft’s speed and direction independently from one another,
dependent on the material you are
processing”. The various settings mean
the shredder is
working at its optimum. With one touch of a button, the shredder configuration can be changed to cater to the variety of green waste forms seen by the Council.
Following the success of the new machine, Angus Council hired their HAAS TYRON to a neighbouring council to process their own green waste. This work was previously carried out by an external third party who used a high-speed shredder.
The neighbouring council were so impressed with the performance of the HAAS TYRON that an agreement has been made to hire the machine from Angus Council, every 4-6 weeks, to process their own waste. This arrangement was made possible by the higher throughput of the TYRON seen at Angus Council, allowing the machine to be available for the neighbouring council. This saves the council money and increases their operational efficiencies.
Biowise is another customer who have one of the new generation TYRONs shredding their green waste. After winning additional green waste processing contracts, Biowise needed to increase their shredding throughputs as they now process around 75,000 tonnes of green waste at their Crewe site each year.
We spoke with Bob Wilkes, Operational and Development Director at Biowise to discuss their new shredder. When asked why the TYRON was selected over other options, he said: “Reliability and throughput tonnages were two key factors for us. The anti-blocking feature and dealer support also convinced us to go with the HAAS”.
With the introduction of the new generation TYRON 2000 into their facility, they have seen throughputs averaging at 60tph, a 20-30% increase compared to their previous shredder.
We asked Bob how the TYRON had improved their operation. “We have been very impressed with the TYRON. We have seen improved throughput of material via the Reception Hall. A better shred of larger items of feedstock, which allows for better composting. As well as a better split of the more valuable compost fraction at the end of the process, as a result of a more consistent shred.”
As with all HAAS machinery, the TYRON comes equipped with a telematics system. This system is an online platform where users can see various data sets from the machinery in real time, allowing for remote diagnostics, as well as monitoring efficiencies and performance.
CRJ Services Ltd is the sole distributor of HAAS machinery within the UK and Ireland, offering both the hire and sale of the HAAS TYRON shredder, backed up by our market leading service support and spare parts offering.
