Recycling
Producing consistent, graded end products
Four years on, the Pronar 1.300 is central to site operations.
The machine allows operators to process material as required,
maintaining steady workflow and eliminating reliance on
contractors. It consistently handles bulky and difficult inputs -
including large tree stumps - without compromising
performance.
The shredder now processes approximately 600–700 tonnes
per day. Across the year, this equates to around 35,000 tonnes,
although 2025 volumes were slightly lower due to prolonged
hot weather reducing grass growth.
Crucially, the ability to adjust output size using
interchangeable baskets enables Greener Composting to
categorise its processed material into clearly defined end uses:
• Smaller shredded material is used on local farmland to
improve soil structure and nutrient content, supporting
arable crop production
• Medium-sized material is utilised as a rough biofuel
feedstock
• Oversized fractions are reprocessed through the shredder to
achieve the desired specification
This grading capability ensures minimal waste, maximises
material value, and supports both agricultural and energy
recovery markets.
What Greener Composting said
Richard Ryman, Owner of Greener Composting, said:
“Our Pronar 1.300 has been an excellent investment,
providing us with the flexibility to shred green waste at our
convenience and keep the site moving. We’ve had a couple of
maintenance issues to sort, but Global Machinery Solutions’
service team and engineers resolved them straight away to
keep downtime to a minimum.
“The slow-speed 1.300 is ideal because it will handle difficult
materials, even large tree stumps, without causing damage.
“The interchangeable baskets allow us to control product size
and ensure material goes to the right end market, whether
that’s agriculture or biofuel. We’re delighted with the Pronar
and with how Global works with us to keep the shredder
performing at its best.”
What Global Machinery Solutions said
Jason Purllant, Recycling Sales Manager at Global Machinery
Solutions, said:
“Greener Composting required a robust, flexible solution
capable of delivering consistent throughput while producing
defined output grades. It’s also fantastic to see the machine
supporting both agricultural improvement and energy recovery
applications. Our priority is always to maximise uptime and
long-term return on investment, and we’re proud to continue
supporting Richard and his team.”
