Tolle deal signed

September 2008

Technology developed before the oil boom is being re-commissioned to help the post-petroleum economy.  Greenview Environmental has signed a licensing agreement with JND Technologies for its heavyweight shredder – the Magco Tollemache – at the Recycling & Waste Management Exhibition.
John Jardine, founder of Greenview Environmental and Roy Marriott of JND Technologies, have agreed a deal in which Greenview will manufacture an organic waste pulveriser based on its own redesign of the Tollemache.
Entrepreneur John Jardine was looking for a method of pulverising organic waste down to 12mm particles when a trip to a scrap metal yard revealed the rusting hulk of a Magco Tollemache. Convinced that it could be modified to accept organic waste, John transported the Tollemache to Greenview’s waste processing plant in Suffolk and began to adapt the 35 tonne vertical shaft shredder to cope with wet and bulky vegetation.
The redesigned Tollemache will be available in two sizes with capacities of 42 and 58 tonnes an hour.  The large opening accepts green-bin, civic amenity and catering waste without pre-sorting and pulverises it to 12mm ready for treatment in a Covered System or other in-vessel composting system.
Shredders are a major bottleneck in organic waste management.  Most of the shredders currently used run on oil, are noisy, and are prone to breakdown whenever a stray stone gets into the system. A major benefit of the Tollemache over other shredders is its resilience and quietness.  The Greenview Tollemache runs on electricity that can be produced onsite from biogas.
Roy Marriott from JND said:  “The design of the Magco Tollemache was revolutionary in the early sixties and it will enjoy a renaissance with the developments made by Greenview. 
John Jardine, Greenview comments: “The shredder has been the weakest link until now. JND Technologies has a strong reputation for engineering solutions in thermal processing and size reduction,  and the modified Tollemache provides a heavy-weight answer to an intractable industry problem.”
The Greenview Tollemache will be manufactured by Greenview and will be available from early 2009.
