In the United States alone, recycling facilities earn estimated annual revenues of approx. USD 3 billion, and annual growth has consistently exceeded 7% throughout the period 2003 to 2008. Such growth figures are heavily influenced by the rapidly increasing volumes of waste, escalating landfill costs and increasing prices for recyclable commodities, accompanied by greater overall environmental awareness.

Pioneer in the field

The Danish company M&J Industries is a pioneer in the field of industrial shredding technology. M&J know-how has had considerable long-term influence on technical developments in this specialist field, where completely reliable throughputs are essential for efficiency and profitability.

Backed by more than 150 years of heavy engineering experience, M&J is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of shredding equipment that effectively and reliably reduces the size of waste materials of all kinds. M&J supplies shredder solutions for companies that work with recycling, landfills, incineration, hazardous waste, waste-to-energy conversion and composting, as well as industrial processes such as cement production and chemical waste processing.

The company supplies a comprehensive range of both static and mobile shredders in both single-shaft and double-shaft configurations, providing virtually any required shredding capacity. All M&J products share key distinctive features, including the patented open cutting table and aggressive knife designs, as well an exceptionally robust construction.

Easy to operate, easy to maintain

The unique design of M&J shredders means they are easy to operate, and ensures exceptionally low maintenance. This results in a minimum of processing stoppages and therefore maximum uptime.

There are no bolts, bearings or adjustable parts in the cutting area, which eliminates traditional cleaning and service. Automatic lubrication systems pave the way to effective preventive maintenance schedules, and the hydrostatic drive provides the ideal combination of revolutions and torque.

All M&J shredders shred efficiently in both directions and are easy to link up to industry-standard electronic signal exchange systems. Shredder operation is monitored and controlled by a PLC equipped with software that automatically adjusts operating parameters to deal with specific types of waste as well as changes in its composition.

These technical advantages help ensure rapid running-in, so that new equipment reaches peak efficiency almost immediately after installation.

Know-how and assistance

M&J technical know-how about all aspects of shredding is second to none. The company works closely with potential customers to assess the most cost-effective ways of meeting any particular waste reduction and recycling requirement. It is also renowned for its post-installation follow-up services, available from a comprehensive network of M&J-trained service experts throughout the world.
