Greenview Tolle set to silence competition

September 2009

A new heavyweight shredding machine that can dramatically accelerate the process of large-scale composting, reduce overall operating costs and perform at significantly quieter levels than other available solutions has gone into production and is being displayed for the first time at RWM 2009.
The Greenview Tolle is now available for local authorities, waste management companies and private composting firms to purchase or hire under licence from organic recycling specialists Greenview Environmental.

The machine, which has been adapted by Greenview to deal specifically with municipal solid waste, wood and bulky organic material, has advanced grinding capabilities. Where other solutions struggle, the Greenview Tolle can handle up to 60 tonnes of unsorted green bin, civic amenity and catering waste an hour. By pulverising organic material into consistently small 12mm output particles quickly and efficiently, it reduces the volume of waste by a four to one ratio.
Capable of handling virtually any foreign object thrown at it, the Greenview Tolle is very easy to maintain. A full set of hammers can be replaced in as little as one hour, a major advantage over standard solutions that may be out of action for days at a time if wearing parts fail. It is also dramatically quieter than other shredding solutions available, meaning a normal conversation can be had within just five metres of the equipment. The Greenview Tolle can also be powered using electricity generated by biogas rather than oil – further boosting its environmental credentials.

Greenview obtained permission to modify and resell the shredder in September 2008 when a deal was signed with JND Tollemache. Since then, the team has been working hard to re-engineer the design to process wet and bulky organic material and vegetation. Greenview has now introduced the specially adapted Greenview Tolle to several of its UK composting facilities, where it is used in conjunction with a number of other Greenview solutions to cut standard composting timescales from twelve weeks to just under six.

John Jardine, founder and CEO of Greenview Environmental said, “Traditionally, shredders have tended to be noisy and unreliable, which can impact adversely on the organic recycling process. Through a series of design refinements, we’ve addressed these problems to create the Greenview Tolle. Not only is it highly robust, effective and energy efficient, it greatly improves the working environment by reducing noise levels. We’ve seen the benefits within our own business and are sure other contractors will recognise how it can help them meet their own recycling targets.”

The Greenview Tolle is available in two sizes (model 42 and model 58) either as a lease option based upon tonnage processed, for a minimum five-year contract, or for sale outright (finance leases can be arranged if required).
