Auto Shredder Purchased for Georgia Recycling Plant

Hammermills International has announced the commissioning of a 74-inch auto shredder at Oconee Metal Recycling’s scrap recycling plant in Covington, Ga.

The complete design, fabrication and installation of the shredder is being handled by Hammermills International as a turnkey project. The project included a 74-inch x 60-inch shredder, an in-feed conveyor, a downstream plant, as well as all the hydraulics, motors and controls.

According to a Hammermills release, the shredder is based on a Metpro International design that features a patent pending hydraulic squeezebox.

Hammermills International says that it is the exclusive licensee for the Metpro shredder in the United States.

The Hammermills release claims that the downstream ferrous and nonferrous system includes the only patented zero-bleed air system, which was designed by Osborn Engineering, Hammermills International’s affiliate company.

Hammermills International supplies shredders, shredder wear parts, downstream ferrous and nonferrous systems, turnkey installation and removal of plants, production diagnostics as well as operational, environmental and design consulting services.
