From mine sites to mattress stockpiles — find your waste stream below.
Sector
Mine site landfills are often short-lived and lack dedicated compaction equipment used during lifts — meaning they get the least effective compaction of any waste stream. Because they’re not compacting their waste, mine sites have the most to gain from pre-shredding.
Sector
Reduce the volume of bulky goods — mattresses, IBCs, blue drums and more — before they ever reach the tip face, and process green waste and timber faster than a high-speed grinder.
Sector
Process green waste and stockpiles faster than a high-speed grinder, with a fraction of the fuel burn, and downsize large stockpiles before transport to an organics facility.
Sector
Process green waste more efficiently than high-speed grinders, and handle contaminated feedstock — stumps, roots, mixed debris — that would destroy a standard grinder.
Material
The Z50’s screen basket arrangement produces a much smaller size fraction than typical single-drum slow-speed shredders — close to what a high-speed grinder achieves, but with far less fuel burn and the ability to process a wider range of materials.
<80mm Final particle size
Material
Handles timber mats, construction mats and railway sleepers (including creosote-treated) — dense, reinforced material that’s no match for the Z50’s high torque. Ferrous metal is separated by the overband magnet for a cleaner wood output.
50%+ Volume reduction
Material
Onsite processing of tyre stockpiles to a final size of 50mm, 80mm or 150mm. Whole tyres are expensive to transport — most of the load is wasted airspace — so shredding on-site before transport cuts freight costs by up to 75%.
75% Lower transport costs
Material
Around 1.8 million mattresses — roughly 54,000 tonnes — go to landfill in Australia every year, taking up valuable space and releasing toxins as they break down. Onsite shredding recovers clean steel for resale into local manufacturing.
1.8M Mattresses landfilled in Australia each year
Material
Conveyor belt reels can weigh up to 60 tonnes, making transport to offsite recycling facilities cost-prohibitive. Onsite shredding makes transport and handling viable — to onshore recycling facilities or verified offshore end markets.
60–85K t Waste conveyor belt generated in Australia annually
Material
Storm and cyclone debris is a complex mix — structural timber, roofing, furniture, flooring, carpet — often contaminated with metal. High-speed grinders struggle with that mix; slow-speed shredders handle it. Mobile deployment means processing can start on-site straight after a disaster.
80% Disaster waste volume reduction
Material
IBCs, blue plastic drums and HDPE are processed with metal contaminants automatically separated by the overband magnet. Beyond that, the Z50 is a genuine all-rounder — green waste, waste wood, roots, commercial and bulky waste, organic waste, light packaging and plastic, cans and carpets.
