Industrial
Recycling Equipment

Waste. It happens in every industry and every country around the world. Whether it is unused portions of raw materials or byproducts from production processes, waste is no longer useful for its intended purpose. Reducing the environmental damage caused by industrial waste is a priority at ECO Green Equipment. With the help of our industrial recycling equipment, recyclers can help businesses worldwide reuse scrap materials or incorporate waste materials in new products.

Many industrial waste products are non-hazardous and reusable. Yet, they are often collected together with municipal solid waste (MSW) and disposed of in landfills. This practice may not seem problematic when the waste is non-hazardous, but appearances can be deceiving. It not only contributes to the volume of waste in landfills but also to the greenhouse gas emissions generated by this waste as it decomposes.

Why Invest in Industrial Waste Recycling

While nobody knows the exact amount of industrial waste produced in the United States each year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the number could be as high as 7.6 billion tons per year. Because industrial waste comes in many forms, the recycling process may look vastly different. However, the benefits industrial waste recycling companies can offer their customers are the same across industries.

Cost Savings

The cost of recycling used materials into new products in many cases is less than harvesting or manufacturing new products. Using the materials available saves on transportation, manufacturing, and acquisition costs.

Reduce Consumption

Resources like wood and metals are finite. Reusing these materials reduces our consumption of them and our need to harvest more raw materials.

Minimize Emissions

Decomposing waste emits greenhouse gases, as does mining, refining, logging, and transportation of new resources. Reusing materials and producing less product, means producing less harmful gases.

Compliance

Government regulations for many types of industrial waste management are strict. Recycling helps companies ensure their compliance with these standards.

Public Image

With global warming and environmentally friendly practices at the forefront of every customer’s mind, companies that reduce their carbon footprint and embrace recycling can improve their appeal.

Economic Growth

Recycling plants create jobs and support the economy by bringing additional tax revenue to support local and government programs.

Selecting ECO Green Equipment for Industrial Recycling

Your needs as a recycling company are unique, and we are committed to understanding them and supplying you with the best equipment. The knowledgeable team at ECO Green knows the process for recycling many types of industrial waste. Our line of robust and dependable recycling machinery has been helping clients recycle tires, including oversized mining tires, since 2001. We are proud of what it can do and look forward to helping you find the best industrial recycling equipment to meet your needs.

Here are some core types of recycling machinery necessary for industrial product recycling and what to look for when purchasing equipment for your facility.

ECO Green Shredders

Often the first piece of equipment in any recycling line, the shredders break down raw materials into smaller pieces. This serves a couple of purposes. First, it breaks apart the materials within products, allowing for material separation and creating a pure end product. Second, this mechanical breakdown prepares old materials to be made into new products. A heavy-duty industrial shredder is necessary for many tough industrial recycling applications.

Some of the top features to look for when choosing a shredder include:

• Number of Shafts: The amount of material you can recycle will depend on the volume of material your shredder can process. However, an ECO Green double-shaft shredder featuring two shredding chambers can typically process more material in less time.
• Shredding Technology: Inside the shredding shaft are rotors covered in knives or blades. The arrangement and style of the blades determine how well and how quickly the shredders reduce material to the desired size.
• Ease of Upkeep: The blades in your shredding machine do the bulk of the work and endure the bulk of the wear and tear. Replacing or sharpening blades will be part of your routine maintenance. Every ECO Green shredder has maintenance doors that allow easy access to these and other wearable parts to maximize operating efficiency.

ECO Green Granulators

Industrial waste, such as plastics, needs to be broken down into small pieces before a plastic extruder can melt them and form new plastic products. Granulators perform this task extremely well. An ECO Green granulator machine can reduce the size of the shredder’s output to flakes or pellets. It also helps create a more uniform particle size and remove contaminants.

When shopping for a granulator, look at the following features:

• Input and Output: Your granulator will work side-by-side with your shredder. ECO Green shredders and granulators work well together to reduce your raw material into the desired end product. Check the output size, as this can make a big difference to your customer when selling your final product.
• Speed: Slow machinery can bottleneck the recycling process in an automated recycling line. The high-speed rotary blades in an ECO Green granulator cut quickly through various materials.
• Screening: The granulator’s screen allows particles your desired size to exit. ECO Green granulators have screens you can swap, rotate, and service easily and are more user-friendly.

ECO Green Conveyors

Moving your product between machines would be labor-intensive without the help of conveying equipment. Industrial conveyors transfer raw materials into the shredder and processed materials between machines along the recycling line. At ECO Green, we rely on three main types of conveyors, each with unique strengths.

• Belt: A versatile choice, belt conveyors carry material from one location to another via a looped belt wrapped around rotating pulleys. The top surface of the belt features a raised pattern that helps hold shreds or other material in place during transport.
• Screw: Featuring a rotating corkscrew within an enclosed tube, screw conveyors rotate to push material through the tube. They are especially useful when lifting material up to deposit at a higher point in another machine.
• Vibratory: Unlike the previous two, this type of conveyor can do more than transport material. A vibrating conveyor can assist with screening, sorting, spreading material evenly, baling, and drying material along the line.

Specialized ECO Green Recycling Equipment

Aluminum Shredder

Aluminum is a malleable, inexpensive, and common metal, making it a top choice for many applications. Additionally, aluminum is one of the most widely recycled and efficiently recycled materials. Thus, an industrial aluminum recycling crusher is an excellent piece of machinery in an industrial recycling line. ECO Green’s line of capable shredders boasts the power and efficiency to reduce aluminum from small cans to large sheets into manageable pieces.

Cable Shredder

Frequently used in electronics, cables are a growing type of electronics waste. Recycling these cables requires separating the current-carrying metals inside from the insulating outer layer. An industrial cable shredder from ECO Green can reduce cables to fine granules of metal and plastic.

Cardboard Shredder

Packaging made from cardboard is a ready source of fiber for a host of post-recycled products. While not all cardboard in the United States is recycled, the source material for cardboard recyclers seems endless. Investing in an industrial cardboard shredder is a step into a market with growth potential. The team at ECO Green can help determine which shredder is best for your specific use and budget.
