SPOTLIGHT INTRODUCTIONS & UPDATES

GP Series shredders are ideal for plastic recyclers who need to reduce hard scrap that is too large for a granulator, but who don’t need the high throughput or cost of a larger shredding machine. The series is comprised of two models, with the GP 924 featuring a 24-inch cutting chamber and the larger GP 935 equipped with a 35-inch chamber. Within each chamber, scrap is reduced by a single 8.7-inch-diameter (220 mm) steel rotor that cuts against a fixed blade knife. Rotors are equipped with four-sided, indexable cutting knives that can be unbolted and rotated to provide fresh cutting edges between sharpenings.

LiuGong’s 856H-E MAX electric wheel loader is now available in North America. A 432kWh large-capacity lithium-ion phosphate battery powers the electric wheel loader for up to 10 hours of working time for light applications and eight hours for heavy applications. Its intelligent battery management system that can be fast charged in 90 minutes. The 856H-E MAX features intelligent controls such as load-sensing hydraulics; an EAT700 transmission with an electro-proportional valve for fast, smooth shifting; and independent control of the dual-motor drive for maximum hydraulic lift. An intelligent auto digging system automatically carries out repetitive digging cycles to reduce operator fatigue.

ALLU’s VELOCI screening buckets are made from polyurethane, which allows the material to fall through without crushing or shredding. Large materials and debris are separated from reusable materials and left in the bucket, while a rotating motion inside the bucket screens and mixes materials to produce a quality end product. All models are equipped with hydraulic motors for maximum processing power, and drum size dictates the number of motors used. The ALLU VELOCI has a double-skin floor, making it robust and durable even in demanding environments. Five different model sizes are available for a variety of screening, mixing, and aerating applications.

The Peterson 5710E horizontal grinder from Astec Industries is best suited for land clearing operations or other applications where mobility is needed. The 5710E features a larger rotor that can accommodate a greater number of grinding bits. The new rotor is 8 percent larger and 19 percent heavier than the previous model, giving it more grinding power. The redesign has been used to maximize efficiency and simplicity throughout the grinding process, from the rotor to the screens, as well as in the new compression roll cylinders which offer better downforce to help process the material fed into the rotor.

As the largest model in Hyundai’s A-Series wheel loader line, the new HL985A offers a standard bucket capacity of 9.1 cubic yards and is ideal for use in mass-volume material handling applications, such as scrapyards, transfer stations, and municipal facilities. This wheel loader is powered by a 430-hp (320-kW) Cummins X12 Performance Series engine, delivering enhanced power and torque while also being highly fuel efficient. Heavy-duty ZF axles with wet outboard brakes and coolers are standard equipment on the HL985, which is powered by a ZF 5-speed transmission.
