It’s a little big shear

Recently another brand new TAURUS BLULINE ACH551 diesel shear left our factory. This shear featured a cutting force of 500 tons, has an hourly output of up to 10 tons per hour with a shear mouth opening measuring 880mm X 600mm.
Although the ACH551 is the smallest shear in the ACH range, it is not small on performance. Capable of shearing E. L. V cars, light and white scrap as well as collected scrap. The ACH is compact and built on a robust single piece frame, which means there are no need for expensive foundations or special permits. All TAURUS shear balers including the ACH551 are built using two compacting wings with over stroke on both wings.
The shear is manufactured using genuine HARDOX 450 ware plates and the compression box is integrated in the main structure for extra strength. Also fitted is TAURUS´s teleservice system to ensure fast remote assistance or repairs direct from our factory trained technicians.
A 22-channel remote control as well as an operator cabin and additional thick steel protection over the shear head to protect the otherwise vulnerable hydraulic hoses and cylinders from damage caused by falling scrap.
The same quality components and special build features are incorporated throughout the entire TAURUS range of shears and balers which is one of the reasons that our Italian customer decided once again to purchase a Taurus shear. This is not his first TAURUS and he told us after taking delivery that it will also not be his last.

Could inferno at SKM Recycling in Australia have been prevented?

Australia: A major fire destroyed the SKM Recycling facility in Melbourne, Australia, last week and led to five people being hospitalised while more than nearby 115 households had to be evacuated. The nation’s Environmental Protection Agency warns that the incident released toxic smoke and marks the recycling centre’s third blaze this year alone.
As many as 20 fire fighting vehicles and over 80 fire fighters were called to the scene.
The response team said the fire was ‘as big as a football field and as high as a factory’.
It has become clear that the fire began on Thursday morning among piles of plastic and cardboard. Soon afterwards, ash was reported falling 15 kilometres away from SKM Recycling’s facility.
EPA officials have pointed out that the recycler has been fined several times over the last twenty years and has failed to meet workers’ safety regulations.
Although the flames were under control this weekend, the fire fighters urged that there is still a major clean-up mission underway. They fear that the blaze may well smoulder ‘indefinitely’ unless the compacted cardboard is properly separated.
SKM Recycling  is currently processing some 500 tonnes of plastics, paper and glass on a daily basis. The company has seen a rapid expansion since it was launched back in 1999. It services 30 councils in the Melbourne area.

TAURUS priority? Costumers satisfaction

A new ACS 873 departed from C. E G.’s headquarters in Italy for Russia destination.

The ACS 873 shear baler is a traditional machine with the original TAURUS BLULINE compression box system with swinging wings and over stoke on both wings.

This machine is in 2 frame sections: one supporting the compression box and shear head, the other one for the motors, oil tank and hydraulic system. The ACS 873 has a cutting force of ton 800, box length of mm 7000 and n.3 cylinders on each wing.

A machine that we could consider “traditional”, but in this case we can not consider as standard. In fact, our customer wanted to increase the performance. Therefore the shear baler has been equipped with “4 engines” and “4 double pumps”. In its standard version the machine is equipped with 2 motors.

To increase the number of engines, all the hydraulic unit has been redesigned and the steel work platform  has been lowered to allow a proper alignment with the main pusher cylinder.

Priority for TAURUS is to meet customer needs and requirements. For this reason the manufacturing facilities are divided in two plants with an area of 12,000 sqm. Each structure is an independent production unit, equipped with the most advanced technologies required to ensure quality, precision of coupling and easy interchangeability of the machines’ components under manufacturing. The machine tools include,  C.N. machining centers for diameters up to 1600 mm and C.N. milling centers.  TAURUS machines respect the ISO and EC standards in compliance with latest European Regulations.

China sets up inspection squads to toughen controls on waste and scrap imports

Source: Scrap Monster
BEIJING : The Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection has decided to go tough on waste and scrap imports into the country. According to an e-mail alert sent by the world recycling organization Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) to its members, the country has set up nearly 60 inspection squads. The squads will conduct thorough inspection and review of all waste and scrap importing firms in the country in order to ensure that they trade in compliance with state regulations and laws.

With effect from June this year, the country had temporarily stopped imports of some waste and scrap. The affected materials include waste, parings and scrap of plastics; other waste paper or paperboard, including unsorted waste and scrap; mixed waste metals; waste electric motors; waste wires. It must be noted that the shipments authorized before June 2017 are not impacted. Further, BIR noted that China has not issued any formal import ban on these materials. However, the temporary stoppage would be applicable to imports that are authorized after June 1st, 2017.

Also, towards the end of June, the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection has formed as many as 60 inspection squads. These inspection teams will inspect all Chinese firms importing waste and scrap. The inspections are likely to run through the whole month of July. BIR urged its members to report any incidence of disruption in scrap trade on account of new import restrictions imposed by Chine authorities.

BIR had earlier warned its members of the possibility of Chinese customs agency further tightening its campaign against material imports from other countries. The recycling trade body had cautioned its members about new set of regulations to restrict imports into the country and had instructed them to make necessary adjustments to their business models to stay updated with the new regulations. There were also rumors that certain scrap categories such as scrap motors, scrap wire and cable and mixed metal scrap are likely to get added to the list of prohibited items for import by 2018. The members had reported unprecedented delay in customs clearance of their plastic scrap shipments destined to Chinese importers.

The newly imposed restrictions are considered to be a part of one-year long ‘National Sword’ campaign launched during the early months of 2017. The campaign carried out in co-operation with the Excise Department targets imported scrap materials with special focus on illegal shipment of industrial waste, electronics waste, plastics and other solid waste. National Sword 2017 is aimed at boosting domestic scrap collection and recovery by putting tight controls on imported waste and scrap.
