Pulper ropes, a challenging byproduct of the paper recycling process, contain a mix of wires, plastics, and fibers. GEP ECOTECH's Pulper Ropes Shredder efficiently processes these tough materials, converting them into valuable refuse-derived fuel (RDF) or solid recovered fuel (SRF) for sustainable energy production.

Material Processing
Pulper ropes are composed of residual materials from paper recycling, including synthetic fibers and metal wires, making them difficult to process. The shredding process involves breaking down these complex materials into smaller, manageable pieces.

Recycling Methods and Processes
Primary Shredding: The shredder uses high-torque, low-speed technology to cut and tear pulper ropes into smaller fragments.
Magnetic Separation: Post-shredding, magnetic separators extract metal components from the shredded material.
Secondary Shredding: Further reduces the particle size to achieve a consistent and uniform output.
Refinement: Final refining processes ensure the material meets the specifications for RDF/SRF production.

Challenges and Difficulties
Processing pulper ropes presents several challenges:

High Shear Force Requirements: Pulper ropes are tough and require shredders with exceptional cutting and shearing capabilities to efficiently break them down.
Performance Demands: The shredder must maintain high performance and reliability to handle the continuous, demanding nature of processing pulper ropes.
Equipment Durability: Inferior equipment can lead to catastrophic failures, such as shaft breakages, due to the high stress and strain involved. For instance, a client in South Korea experienced a severe equipment failure with another supplier before switching to GEP ECOTECH's reliable shredders.
Wear and Tear: The materials within pulper ropes, including metal wires, can cause significant wear on the cutting tools, necessitating robust, wear-resistant designs.

Machine and Features
Double-Shaft Shredder
High Shear Force: Designed to handle tough materials like pulper ropes.
Safety Features: Equipped with automatic shut-off mechanisms to prevent damage from blockages.
Single-Shaft Shredder
Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of materials, ensuring uniform particle size for RDF/SRF.
Efficiency: High throughput with low energy consumption, ideal for continuous operation.
Magnetic Separator
Metal Extraction: Effectively removes ferrous materials from the shredded output, enhancing the purity and quality of the RDF/SRF.
Robust Construction: Built to withstand the harsh environment of shredding operations.

Applications
Paper Mills: Converts pulper ropes into RDF/SRF, reducing waste and producing valuable fuel.
Cement Plants: Uses RDF as an alternative fuel, contributing to lower carbon emissions.
Power Plants: Employs SRF for electricity generation, promoting renewable energy.

GEP ECOTECH's Pulper Ropes Shredder provides an innovative and effective solution for transforming challenging waste materials into valuable fuels. By investing in our shredders, businesses can enhance their sustainability efforts and contribute to a circular economy.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
