The Challenge
Applied Machinery has recently completed an installation of a new Genox BH1500L heavy duty shredder at Corex in Dandenong. This massive 150kW (2 x 75kW) shredder plays a critical role in their Corflute®, PP film and BOPP recycling processes.
Corex’s previous shredder could not cope with the BOPP film and needed to be hand-fed to avoid overload. A time consuming, labour intensive exercise that needed to be removed from their operation.
The Solution
Their new Genox Behemoth series shredder is delivering everything they expected and more.
Corex are now enjoying additional uninterrupted, reliable, consistent throughput. So much so, the BH1500L sometimes has to be turned off so their repelletising system can keep up!
The Genox BH1500L Shredder is a heavy duty single shaft shredder with a 1400 x 1500mm hopper inlet, 460mm rotor diameter, and 40mm standard screen diameter. Other features include 84+6 rotor blades, 3+3 counter blades, 7.5kW hydraulic power, and 3850L hopper volume.
It also comes with an electrical control panel with dual mode operation – Manual and Automatic modes for rotor motion and force feeding ram direction control. The Intelligent Programming allows auto-reverse during overload scenarios, and auto shutdown when the machine has run idle for prolonged periods.
When performance counts, when reliability counts, think Genox. Think Applied.
