Alternative Fuels

Commingled waste can easily be pre-shredded with PRI-MAX® technology to the point where non combustible items can be separated in a variety of ways ahead of Quad® or Uni-Shear® machines that convert the target materials into usable fuels.

Tire processing machinery is available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. For fuel applications, most customers look for material sized between 1” (25mm) and 3” (75mm). SSI Dual-Shear® shredders are proven, reliable solutions that offer users high online reliability and low operating costs.

In certain parts of the world, capacity is not as important as quality. SSI Quad® shredders are proven machines that can digest an extremely wide range of materials, including many metals, and reduce them down to sizes typically ranging from 2” (50mm) to 5” (127mm). Quad® machines are very good at liberating items from one another so downstream separation technologies may be effectively used.

Commingled materials can be processed in a PRI-MAX® reducer to the point where non combustible items can be separated in a variety of ways. High speed grinders are typically used in this application after metals and non-shreddables have been removed to prepare the remaining wood for use as fuel.

SSI has extensive experience in the supply of hazardous waste processing systems. Oxygen starved processing chambers, liquid & solid separation, liquid containment and batch or continuous process systems are available.
