Rotochopper Shredder vs. Tires Showdown

Can't believe that guy gets paid to put 3 tires in at a time 😂

You can increase your metal yield by lowering the magnet closer to the discharge conveyor and running the spoils a second pass....it is a learning curve for sure.

In the computer you can set where every 5 minutes or so it’ll run the rotors backwards for 30 seconds automatically. Whenever you’re running material really stringy like the steel cords in tires it really helps to run the rotors backwards for a extended period every so often to unwrap the cords and free up material that is just robbing power and productivity.

Loving the shredding videos!

Fifteen dollars a tire??? I thought the increase from $1 to $2 per tire locally was a ripoff

Thank you for another great video. Cheers

Loved this video. Could watch that all day long.

Ah. Chewy the Beast is enjoying his breakfast

Way too much fun to be had and what a space saving too!

It's simply amazing what that can do. Forward thinking for sure.

That thing is amazing! Love your content.

I like the idea of shredding everything. Not only saving space but faster decomposition and longer landfill life is a big advantage. Great video and awesome machine.

Well worth the money , looking into the future for more space to continue operating the landfill . Great video .

im excited for these videos

So I've worked on these machines before on the engine side. From several different brands in fact. For that matter I'm pretty sure I've met the Rotochopper salesman that was out during start up of this machine a few times before. But in regards to the torque output of these machines. I was working on a Lindner brand machine once, with a CAT C-18, and I asked their service manager what the torque output was on their gear box. I was told that for the machine I was on, which is about twice the size of the 75 dk, it was somewhere around 350,000 lb ft if I can recall. I also love your attitude of trying to think far ahead instead of being reactionary.

Great seeing your channel grow. I remember not to long ago you were sitting at your desk looking for the 10,000 sub and here you are over double. Great things are happening for you and your crew!!! A lot of great content!!!

Sure no worries as to what you guys have put through it so far bro. Making great content along the way too. Safe travels. Ken.

I suggest setting the Alum rim tires aside, as the Alum is going for 65 cents a pound at my yard right now.

You may want to shred tires on a rainy day. Just a little water will make the tires easier to eat. The rubber has less traction on the rotor blades. I used to work at a Goodyear store. We had to cut the junk tires. We would use a little water on the cutter blades to make it easier.

Great job guys
