METAL MANAGEMENT CHOOSES STEINERT
During Metal Management’s Quarterly Meeting in February 2005, Chairman, CEO and President Daniel Dienst announced that a major improvement would be undertaken at Metal Management’s auto shredder facilities throughout the United States.
The initial plan included six new Steinert sorting machines for Metal Management’s Chicago, Denver, Phoenix and Salt Lake City yards. However, the company’s order has since expanded to a total of nine ISS sorting machines, eight ECS units and two MTE drum magnets to be installed in Denver, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Tucson, Chicago and the company’s new shredder project in Nashville.
Jim Mosebach, Metal Management’s general manager-shredders, says the company chose Steinert for its separation and sorting equipment needs because of Steinert’s total commitment to technical support.
RIVERSIDE ENGINEERING ANNOUNCES ROTOR SALES
Riverside Engineering Inc., headquartered in San Antonio, has announced that it has sold two patent-pending Revolution rotors. Both are 80-104 rotor assemblies that replace existing disc rotor assemblies.
Riverside designed its Revolution rotors during 2004 and released them to the public this past April at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI) Annual Convention.
The Revolution rotor is a four-hammer pin assembly that offers the benefits of a disc and spider rotor design. It also uses a cast alloy disc that has increased weight and surface area. According to Riverside, these two benefits result in greater overall rotor weight, which increases rotating inertia and rotor life.
The Revolution rotor is available to fit shredders of all sizes.
More information on Riverside Engineering’s line of shredder products is available on its Web site at www.rsengr.com.
