Continental Biomass Industries (CBI), Newton, N.H., has announced that its Annihilator shredder (formerly dubbed the MOAS—Mother of All Shredders) has now completed its testing phase and is ready for demonstration.

The 20,000-pound machine was unveiled in June at WasteExpo in New Orleans. The unit is designed as a primary shredder for all types of C&D debris and additional municipal solid waste streams.

According to CBI, the unit features a forged, high-strength steel rotor that is 10 feet, 4 inches long, 6 inches thick, and 42 inches in diameter. The cutting gap on the 8,000-pound anvil adjusts instantaneously to accommodate varying feedstock and to meet desired end product size requirements.

The Annihilator comes in both stationary and mobile configurations with a choice of 600 and 1,000 hp electric or diesel engines. Those seeking more information or wishing to arrange a demo can contact CBI at (603) 382-0556.

Peterson Pacific Corp., Eugene, Ore., has introduced the new HC 4700 horizontal recycler designed for high-volume producers with demanding end product specifications.

The HC 4700 horizontal recycler with a 630 hp motor is a new mid-range model in the Peterson recycler lineup. It utilizes the Peterson three-stage grinding process with an up-turning rotor that helps to produce materials to exact specifications, according to the company.

The first fragmentation step occurs at the up-cutting rotor. The rotor draws material into the grinding chamber in an way that minimizes wear on the bit, according to a Peterson Pacific news release. The anvil is positioned for optimum sizing and production to provide the second stage in the sizing process. The final sizing stage takes place at the large grate area.

The horizontal recycler’s quick-change multiple-grate system allows users to easily customize grate configurations to produce a wide array of finished materials, according to the company, with minimal regrinding.

Peterson Pacific’s patented Impact Release System minimizes damage from contaminants in the grinding chamber resulting in more uptime, according to the company. "Peterson’s Smart Control Panel helps maximize throughput for more production each day," the company news release states.

All finished materials are discharged on a continuous conveyor, which reduces material spillage, meaning less clean up.

Lippmann-Milwaukee Inc., Cudahy, Wis., has introduced the 4818 Prime Mover crushing and screening plant.

The company bills the new model as, "an economical, high-volume portable impact crushing and screening plant that offers [recycled and primary] aggregate producers multi-product capabilities and precise material sizing in a self-contained, easily transportable unit designed for quick set-up."

The Prime Mover includes Lippmann’s 4248 horizontal shaft impact crusher, which can process concrete with rebar, asphalt, brick, block and other C&D debris.

The Lippmann impactor is equipped with a heavy three-bar, solid-steel rotor that offers high capacity and a high reduction ratio and features a new locking device. A hydraulic hood provides easy access to wear parts for quick, easy change-outs, according to the company.

The plant also features a Lippmann 45-inches by 18-feet heavy-duty feeder with a quick removal feed hopper module. Also included are a 48-inches by 45-foot plant conveyor that folds for easy transport; a 16-feet by 6-feet double-deck inclined vibrating screen with two 24-inch cross conveyors; a 48-inch under-screen fines conveyor; and a 24-inch return conveyor.

The unit is powered by a Cummins 460- hp diesel engine with a 350-kw generator and built on a heabvy-duty chassis, according to a Lippmann-Milwaukee release.

General Kinematics, Barrington, Ill., a leading producer of vibratory process equipment, has received quality certification for both QS 9000TE and ISO 9001 from NSF International Strategic Registrations Ltd.

According to the company, certification of these international quality standards establishes that General Kinematics Quality Management System has been assessed and registered as meeting the requirements of an extensive quality audit conducted by NSF ISR.

"Receiving QS 9000TE and ISO 9001 certification demonstrates General Kinematics’ commitment to providing quality products and service to our customers and has established us as the largest vibratory process equipment manufacturer to receive this certification," says Paul Musschoot, president of General Kinematics.

The company’s total quality program and continuous improvement philosophy are designed to meet customer quality requirements worldwide.

The QS-9000/TE Supplement is a quality standard developed for Tier 1 companies that produce tooling and equipment for the Big Three automakers. This standard is more rigorous than the ISO 9001standard, as it requires extensive product and process analysis and a structured planning and problem solving approach. The use of these tools and disciplines ensures the highest levels of equipment reliability and maintainability.

General Kinematics has been serving the recycling, mining, foundry, chemical, food and other industries for more than four decades. To date, more than 35,000 units have been installed in virtually all of the world’s industrialized countries.

Germany’s Hammel Recyclingtechnik GmbH is now offering the Kompbio, a shredder for the production of biomass and compostable material, through its Hammel North America distributorship, based in Fort Wayne, Ind. The machine was introduced at the "Bavarian Composting Day" in Munich, Germany.

Hammel is billing the Kompbio as a mobile system that consists of a primary shredder, screening machine and secondary shredder for the separation and processing of roots, mixed tree trunks and green waste into compostable material and marketable biomass fuel.

The Kompbio has been designed to produce a consistent exact final grain size, according to the company.
