TSI sells 74/104 disc rotor - Equipment Report - Texas Shredder Inc - Brief Article

Recycling Today, Dec, 2002

Texas Shredder Inc. (TSI), San Antonio, has sold its first "No Weld" disc rotors for a 74/104 shredder. The "No Weld" disc rotors have replaced four-arm spider rotors that had previously been used with the 74/104 shredder.

Two shredder operations in the northeastern U.S. are currently operating with the "No Weld" disc rotors, according to TSI. The rotor style is designed to increase production, lower power costs and reduce the overall cost per ton to shred (less manpower and maintenance), according to the company.

The "No Weld" disc material is made from a T-1 steel of pressure vessel quality. The rotor shaft is an AISI 4340 forging quenched and tempered to a specified brinell hardness. The new style is among 12 different rotor designs for the scrap shredding market that TSI is now making.
