Recycling
“Although we were initially looking at coming away from high-speed shredders and steering more towards the mid- speed offering, during a site visit by the product specialists at Molson Green, their team were able to analyse the material we were looking to process and advise the new TBG 630 as the right machine for us. Based on previous experience with high-speed products, I was a little dubious. But with the successful demonstration proving the 630 gave us an increase of 25-30% on material throughput with no compromise on product quality, all with 20% less fuel consumption, I was happy to accept their recommendation.”
Powered by a 661HP Scania V8 DC16 engine, the tracked TBG 630 has been designed to give the perfect balance of high levels of material throughput, with low fuel consumption. The open fronted feeder enables the machine to be fed quickly and easily from the rear, using six rows of heavy duty drag chains.
With this independent hydrostatic drag chain and feed wheel system, the machine has the ability to vary infeed speed depending on the engine load and rotor RPM. The feeder can also be stopped, started, and reversed from the push of a button on the remote. A novel feature is the feed wheel lift/downward assist, which sees the feed wheel rise over material, whilst applying a downward force to break up and push material into the rotor.
At the heart of the machine is the 1,100mm diameter x 1,7500mm wide swinging hammer rotor. This robust, direct drive rotor rotates at 1000rpm and incorporates 36 up- swinging hammers. With a wide selection of hammer designs, customisable, interchangeable screens are available which ensure the desired end product material specification is met.
Metal contaminants are always a concern when using a high- speed machine, especially in a recycling application like here with Hamilton Waste & Recycling, but the TBG 630 has a clever screen kickback system. Should unshreddable material enter the shredder, a pressure sensor will automatically release the screen allowing the material to quickly pass through, reducing the risk of accidental damage. The screen can also be released by the operator using the remote control.
Euan Fairweather, Molson Sales Manager said, “Hamilton Waste & Recycling are extremely well respected in the area and the fact they have chosen to move to the Terex Ecotec range of processing machines serviced by our expert after sales team is a fantastic endorsement for us. With our comprehensive recycling equipment range and commitment to raise the bar for after sales support, I hope we can continue to develop our relationship and become a key supplier for this forward-thinking business.”
