Project at a glance
-
Robust & Versatile
Capable of handling varied material streams, including aluminium fraction & MSW.
The system needed to withstand long operating periods and remain functional year-round whilst exposed to the elements.
-
Thorough Analysis
ATLUS assessed the loading zone, material containment, belt arrangement, incline, discharge geometry and drive requirements as one complete system.
We worked closely with the client to understand material types, throughput targets, site constraints and operational demands.
-
Designed to last
The system was developed with reinforced impact areas, abrasion-resistant belt and robust side containment.
The belt guarding, take-up and drive sprockets were designed with tool-free access.
Key Outcomes
-
Designed for 10 hours/day operation and a minimum 5-year belt life
-
Maintained shredder feed within ±4% of the target rate across 3 tested feedstocks
-
20t/hr continuous shredder feed at a belt speed of 8m/min
-
Tool-free access reduced routine inspection by 25 minutes
