EDGE MOBILE SHREDDER EXCEEDS ALL EXPECTATIONS AT PORTADOWN RECYCLING

EDGE Innovate says its Mobile Slayer XL, twin shaft, slow speed waste shredder is probably one of the most versatile and customisable shredders on the market facilitating optimum performance in a wide range of applications. So, is that the case? Plant & Civil Engineer’s David Stokes has been speaking to one end user, County Armagh based Portadown Recycling & Skip Hire Ltd, to find out.

Offering a comprehensive range of waste management services to a growing customer base, Portadown Recycling, which was established in 2008, has been using its recently acquired EDGE Mobile Slayer XL shredding machine on a wide variety of materials.

Comments Director Bobby Jameson jnr: “It has been an excellent investment for us. We have been using it to process all types of wood, green waste, mixed waste, plastic and other waste; it’s exceeded our expectations. Previously we had a static shredder which was fixed in one position, so all the waste had to be brought to it, but now we can easily take this mobile Slayer XL to various waste stream locations around the yard. This mobility has made our operation more effective, more productive and has certainly saved us a lot of time and effort. Customers coming into our yard have been amazed at its performance and versatility. Being a twin shaft machine, it processes material a lot quicker and cleaner than our previous shredder”.

Adds Bobby: “The Slayer XL shredder is also very user friendly; it is not over complicated to operate, and being remote controlled, it cuts down on manpower, too – and routine maintenance is simple to carry out. “As well, it has proved itself to be very robust, very reliable. Since we acquired it we have put about 600 hours on the clock and there hasn’t been one single issue yet. It is also very economical to run. Indeed, it has been one of our best ever investments so far.

“The support and service we get from EDGE Innovate cannot be faulted. Any queries we have had have been promptly sorted, cutting out any potential for downtime.”

Versatile

So, let’s take a closer look at the EDGE Slayer XL. With a highly robust design, high throughput and superior resistance to difficult to shred material, it can be deployed as either a primary or secondary shredder. The twin shaft design provides exceptional intake behaviour, reduces traditional wrapping of material such as wires, plastics and long fibers and lends itself to less wear and longer life expectancy.

This combined with impressive design features such as tramp metal cycles and intelligent load sensing insures against asset damage and downtime.

The EDGE Slayer XL, twin shaft, slow speed shredder provides an additional 20% more throughput than the smaller Slayer X. Powered via a Tier 3 Caterpillar, 350hp engine, the Slayer XL has superb fuel economy, as confirmed by Portadown Recycling & Skip Hire, with an average fuel consumption of just 25-30ltr/hr, making it the lowest running and maintenance shredder on the market.

Applications

Designed with strength, durability and serviceability in mind, the EDGE Slayer XL series can handle almost any material in any application. With a huge range of both rapid volume reduction and intricate piece sizing chambers available, the EDGE Slayer XL shredder series can be deployed as either a primary or secondary shredder and can be seen working anywhere from waste management companies to biomass producers.

The EDGE SLAYER series of shredders is available with wide range of chassis formats options including; tracked, wheeled, hooklift or static mounted chassis formats.
