GK offers systems to meet and exceed plant targets

General Kinematics (GK), an Illinois-based producer of American-made sorting and recycling equipment, leverages its vast knowledge and experience to offer recycling systems that combine proven methods with innovative solutions.

Recycling plants in various sectors such as auto shredding, material recovery facilities (MRFs) and construction and demolition (C&D) facilities face the dual challenge of maximizing material recovery while maintaining high-quality output. GK’s longstanding reputation for delivering comprehensive sorting systems stems from the expertise of its application and sales engineers.

Jim Egan, vice president of North American sales at GK, explains, “Decades of serving the recycling industry have allowed us to build a deep understanding of best practices. We bring this expertise to every project, ensuring our customers get the most effective solutions.”

GK’s approach involves engaging recycling-specific engineers from the start of each project, supported by a highly technical sales team with decades of experience. A dedicated project management team also ensures continuous communication with customers, from project conception through operation, to ensure success.”

While some customers require new systems, others could benefit from equipment upgrades. “We always start with the customer’s goals,” Egan says. “If a simple upgrade won’t suffice, we work with them to develop a long-term solution that provides the best return on investment.”
