Recycling - Special Feature
“The machine can maintain production without feeling
overstrained. Our site is quite tight, so the Forus F38 works
well with its compact footprint and manoeuvrability allowing
it to navigate the site easily. So, the machine can be moved
quickly, maintaining efficient production and helping us keep
up with the incoming waste stream.
“We chose the Eggersmann because of its build quality and
how easy it is for the operator to use, from the shafts to the
breaker bar. It’s not disappointed us so far.”
Breaker bars boost accuracy
The quick-change breaker bar in the Forus F38 was a key
feature for the Waste Wave team. With five different bars to
choose from it allows operators to determine the piece size
more accurately. The A1 breaker bar is used to process general
waste into a 300mm product that the ZenRobotics system can
pick through effectively.
Switching to an A3 bar allows them to reprocess the waste
wood materials down to a smaller, marketable size. The
hydraulic mounting and locking mechanism mean the breaker
bar change can be completed in as little as 10 minutes, which
has been a game changer for the team.
Josh commented, “They told us we could complete the change
in 10 minutes, but you don’t really believe it until you see how
easy and quick it is. It is amazing in terms of productivity, but
is also much safer for our operators, which means we can now
process general waste more efficiently and create a sellable
wood product.”
Straightforward servicing
The machine is built with maximum uptime in mind. With
large, ground-level maintenance doors, operators can access
key compartments easily and safely. Plus, the intuitive controls
mean the Forus F38 can be easily programmed via the
Eggersmann One-Logic interface or a 10-channel radio remote
control.
These features, alongside the reliable servicing support of
Molson aftersales, means the Waste Wave team can operate
with complete confidence.
As Josh further stated, “Molson has been great to deal with,
particularly Adam. He is a great guy and a good laugh, so it
does not just feel like a professional transaction when you
work with him. You feel like the team genuinely cares.
Between that and the versatility of the machine, we’re set up
to make real progress and continue to grow.”
