Riverside Engineering M-69 Shredder and Downstream System Introduction

Riverside Engineering, a leader in auto shredder systems, has introduced its new M-69 Shredder series. The M-69 X 107 design utilizes many of the technological advances found in the company's MegaShredder® product line. The engineering challenge was to retain the critical features of the MegaShredder® in a smaller shredder at a more affordable price to ensure a high ROI with limited risk for monthly processing volumes in the 3,000 to 8,000 tons per month range.

When powered by a 2500 HP drive motor, the M-69 shredder system is capable of processing more than 75 tons per hour. The M-69 can handle whole car bodies, white goods, light industrial scrap, lightly compressed logs and bales due to its high inertia rotor and heavy hammers. The complete system package includes shredder, motor drive, infeed, one magnet downstream, single roll feeding, chute and controls package. Riverside 's M-69 equipment package is complemented by project management and installation services.

For more information on the M-69 Shredder and Downstream turnkey solution, please go to megashredder.com

Riverside Engineering has developed and launched a Shredder Energy Demand Management program that reduces peak demand usage and saves operators an average of 20 to 30% in energy costs!

The company's Demand Shaver system is a proprietary algorithm with user selectable parameters that automatically controls the shredder feeding and material flow to smooth power consumption and eliminates expensive spikes in energy demand.

The PLC-based program monitors real-time power consumption, shredder data including RPM, Load and Motor Thermal Capacity. Based on the monitoring of these process variables, Demand Shaver will adjust Infeed and DFR to an optimal rate based on the utility rate structure with minimal impact to overall production volumes.
