Shred-Tech is committed to providing the most efficient and environmentally friendly shredding and collection vehicles available, and we are pleased to introduce new features and equipment that follow Shred-Tech’s Environmental Stewardship.
Shred-Tech’s R&D department have developed and launched many product improvements and features that have resulted in lower fuel consumption and emissions. For example, by increasing shredder throughput by 650% over the last ten years with a minimal increase in power requirements a Shred-Tech MDS-3 requires approximately 1.9 gallons of fuel per ton of paper shredder vs 9 gallons per ton of paper shredded in the original MDS-20. This also means greatly reduced emissions per ton of paper shredded.
Every year the paper shredded and recycled by Shred-Tech built trucks, saves an estimated 22,700,000 trees.
GALLONS OF FUEL/TON SHREDDED
HP input is directly related to energy consumption. Therefore Shred-Tech trucks consume less energy per lb of paper shredded than any other system on the market.
LOWER EMISSIONS
Shred-Tech is pleased to announce that all of its 2018 model shredding and collection trucks run on ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) and B5 BioDiesel and meet the EPA’s toughest emissions standards.
How it Works
• 5 seconds/low pressure – engine to low idle
• 60 seconds the PTO’s are turned off
• 125 seconds the engine is turned off
At anytime the engine and shredder can be restarted from the operators control panel.
We are busy developing many more fuel saving and environmentally friendly products and features that will be introduced in the months ahead as we continue to focus on ways to help you grow your business while reducing your carbon footprint.
