C & D Recycling

Rotochopper EC-266 Integrated into Sorted C & D Recycling System.

With growing profit opportunities for construction and demolition debris, more and more waste handling companies are turning to Rotochopper for their C & D recycling solutions.

Complete Sorted C & D Recycling System. Known for their efficiency, Rotochopper electric grinders provide the particle size control and consistent up time needed for converting construction and demolition debris into high quality boiler fuel and other value-added products. Our stationary electric grinders can be conveniently incorporated into complete processing systems with sorting lines and dust collection equipment or operated as stand-alone C & D processors. For companies needing mobility, we also offer portable and track-mounted diesel models up to 765 horsepower.

All of our electric and diesel grinders feature aggressive feed systems that allow consistent, efficient processing rates for in-line feeding or batch feeding. Our unique infeed transition system forces all un-ground material into the grinding chamber, preventing un-ground particles from falling directly onto the collection conveyor and ending up in the finished product. Our StopWatch monitoring system helps operators manage preventive maintenance programs and reduce damage from tramp steel. Our patented screen installation system allows fast tooth and screen changes to maximize uptime and finished product control.

Animal Bedding, Boiler Fuel, & Other C & D Recycling Markets

Properly sorted and sized C & D can make high quality animal bedding or boiler fuel because of its low moisture content. Shortages of wood fiber and agricultural residue create strong markets for bedding, fuel, and other finished products from C & D.

Particle Size Control

C & D recycling markets have demanding particle size specifications. Boiler systems typically require fuel products that are free of oversized pieces and excessive fines. Within the animal bedding market, farmers only trust the health and comfort of their livestock and poultry with a finished product that is the right size and texture. If you want to make high quality bedding, fuel, or other finished products from your sorted C & D, trust your wood fiber to our advanced grinding technology.

Tear-off Shingle Recycling

We also offer purpose-built shingle grinding equipment for converting tear-off and factory reject shingle waste into high value finished products, like hot mix asphalt supplement. The high value of asphalt cement (AC) found in shingle waste creates a strong market with asphalt paving contractors and other end users of properly processed shingle waste. Designed specifically to process shingle waste, our RG-1 and RG-1 E (electric-powered) shingle grinders provide the lowest operating costs of anything on the market.
