Columbus McKinnon Installs TDF System in Virginia

Columbus McKinnon Corp., based in Sarasota, Fla., recently announced the sale and installation of a zero waste TDF (tire derived fuel) system in Charles City, Va. The facility is operated by Green Zone Investments, LLC (dba Tire Recyclers, Inc.). The system installed consists of a CM Dual Speed Tire Shredder and a newly designed CM2R Liberator.

The system installed in Virginia is designed to produce a high grade, tire derived fuel with minimal steel content. Fuel chips are produced with the shredder and heavily steel laden material is separated from the TDF stream and diverted to the Liberator. The Liberator reprocesses the material to remove the steel for resale and produces a wire free ground rubber product to be sold into higher value added markets.

The system is capable of processing passenger car and truck tires at production rates of 14,000 lbs. per hour. It is a dual stage system that can be easily expanded as the markets for tire derived materials develop and expand. Both stages of the system can be operated independently to maximize efficiency, throughput and product quality. As a result, the customer is able to maximize market potential for TDF, Steel and Ground Rubber.
