Australian Native Landscapes gains an EDGE

Australian Native Landscapes (ANL), a pioneering force in the green waste composting industry, has taken a significant step forward in their operations. Partnering with EDGE Innovate, ANL has recently acquired industry leading equipment from EDGE, including a VS420 slow speed shredder, a TRT622 track trommel, and a TS80 track stacker. This move underscores ANL's commitment to enhancing efficiency and sustainability in green waste processing.

Australian Native Landscapes, a leader in organic recycling and composting, operates from various facilities across New South Wales. Established over four decades ago, ANL is dedicated to transforming organic waste into valuable resources. They offer a range of services including composting, soil blending, and mulch production. Their Badgerys Creek facility, where the new EDGE Innovate equipment is deployed, processes approximately 350,000 tonnes of green waste annually. The facility here is central to ANL’s operations, processing raw green waste into high-quality compost and other finished products.

Gaining an EDGE

After impressing operators onsite during a comprehensive demonstration, ANL took delivery of an EDGE VS420 at the end of 2023. The high torque waste shredder from EDGE has enabled ANL to increase their production capacity without compromising quality. Featuring a high-capacity, twin shaft shredding chamber specifically designed for processing organics and timber waste, the VS420 ensures a uniform piece size and exceptional production rates. The shredder's unmatched torque, user-friendly operational controls and load management system enhance its functionality, efficiency, and uptime, making it a perfect fit for ANL’s high-volume needs.

To fully leverage the production capacity of their new waste shredder, ANL paired the VS420 with an EDGE TRT622 track trommel, a proven screening solution throughout Australia. This robust trommel screening with class leading features has been a welcome enhancement to ANL's equipment arsenal. With advanced screening capabilities, this trommel is essential for efficiently separating and sizing compost materials. Its track-mounted design provides excellent mobility, allowing ANL to optimize their composting process with greater flexibility and precision.

Completing ANL’s new suite of machinery is the EDGE TS80 track stacker, which has significantly improved the way in which compost material is handled and stored at the Badgerys Creek facility. Designed to maximize stockpile capacity while maintaining easy maneuverability, the TS80 is crucial for the dynamic operations at ANL’s facilities, ensuring efficient material handling and storage.

James Myers, Operations Manager at ANL’s Badgerys Creek facility, praised the new equipment and the support provided by FOCUS enviro. He stated, “We’ve purchased the VS420 slow speed shredder, the EDGE TRT trommel, and TS80 stacker all of which are user-friendly, produce a great product, and are very reliable. FOCUS enviro has been very good to deal with, always friendly, always reliable, and always there when you need them.”

The integration of EDGE Innovate’s VS420 slow speed shredder, TRT622 track trommel, and TS80 track stacker marks a significant enhancement in ANL’s green waste processing capabilities. With EDGE Innovates industry leading products and FOCUS enviro’s  support, ANL continues to lead the way in sustainable waste management, turning organic waste into valuable resources efficiently and reliably. This collaboration not only strengthens ANL’s operational capacity but also underscores the importance of innovation and partnership in achieving environmental sustainability.
