âThe addition of this shredding unit represents a transformative step for our East Liverpool facility,â said Ernie Walker, President of Heritage. âIt strengthens our capabilities and provides relief to the broader industry backlog. As waste generators across the country face mounting deadlines and strict regulations, weâre stepping up to ensure their needs are met quickly and responsibly.âÌý
Key benefits of the East Liverpool, Ohio shredder include:ÌýÌý
- Streamlined Operations and Environmental Advantages: By reducing the size and homogenizing waste before incineration, the shredder ensures a more consistent feed into the kiln. This, in turn, translates to an ability to more efficiently process containerized waste.
- Improved Safety and Efficiency: The mechanical shredding process minimizes the need for labor intensive manual waste processing. This improvement reduces the potential for employee exposure to hazardous materials and improves ergonomics for workers while increasing overall efficiency in the feed preparation process.
- Advanced Design: Housed in a standalone building, the shredder uses vertical feed technology to process waste directly from containers into a kiln-ready bin. Its design incorporates a safer lifting and loading process, reducing manual handling compared to other similar shredders, and prioritizing employee safety throughout the operation.
âBy adding this technology, Heritage is better positioned than ever to continue providing fast, reliable solutions for our customers,â said Barry Legg, Senior Vice President of Business Development. âOur team can now more efficiently handle large volumes of waste, offering much-needed relief to a national industry facing capacity challenges.âÌý
