Industrial Shredders Continues to Support Manufactuers

Industrial Shredders, which builds complete systems that solve waste challenges from start to finish, has been safely and diligently supporting its customers as they manufacture the essential tissue products that are in such high demand these days.

Companies such as Procter & Gamble, Georgia Pacific, Clearwater Paper and First Quality all rely on Industrial Shredders for tissue log shredders, which remove reject tissue logs from the converting line without requiring a person to pick them up. This automated process enables social distancing by reducing the number of people on the process line and makes the re-pulping process more efficient.

“Our shredder is attached right to the converting equipment, so the scrap logs are discharged directly into the shredder and then air handled to the re-pulper or baler,” said Industrial Shredders CEO David Barnard. “Right now, companies are trying to knock out as much tissue [and towel] as they possibly can. If they have someone running around picking up reject logs off the floor and then physically wheeling them away, that’s not really efficient or entirely safe.”

Increased tissue production has meant well-used cutter heads, and Industrial Shredders has been up to the task as refurbishment jobs pour in from customers.

“Over the past eight weeks or so, we’ve refurbished as many cutter heads as we did all last year,” reported Barnard. “When they come in, we inspect them, sharpen them and ship them back within a week to help keep the lines operating smoothly. We appreciate their attention to maintenance and want to support them.”
