With efficient size reduction an essential element of our waste processing operation NRL have recently invested in an EDGE® Slayer, twin shaft, slow speed Shredder for duty at our Worksop recycling centre. Built entirely in the UK the machine has been supplied by MAX Solutions Ltd the UK dealer for EDGE®. The machine fitted with an over band magnet is employed on shredding waste reducing the waste down -200mm. With the ability to process a wide selection of extremely difficult materials, including waste wood, railway sleepers, root stems, green waste, industrial and bulky waste, plastic, paper rolls and tyres the high performance EDGE® Slayer is capable of processing between 15-40 tph.

The majority of the incoming waste stream is commercial and industrial waste and there is a need to reduce this in size for further hand processing in our MRF. Additionally, we have to be extremely competent in our processing as we are also contracted by several high profile companies to confidentially destruct materials which need to be shredded and recycled for reuse which has resulted in 8,000 tonnes being diverted from landfill and into fuels in the last year. The new EDGE® Slayer Shredder is now playing a key role in this new direction as a prime shredder for NRL who are currently supplying three power stations with a suitable wood chip product with a high biomass content which is being processed with ease due to the flexibility of the new machine.
