Tana's crushers are distinguished by their versatility. "Versatility is Our overwhelming advantage," explains Eetu Tuovinen, Product Manager at Tana. "They can handle virtually any type of solid waste, which is a great advantage.
A major strength of the Tana crushers is their ability to handle 'bottlenecks' in the recycling process. They can handle problems such as tangled ship's ropes, car tires, layered objects and mattresses with metal springs. The Tana crushers can handle these materials without the need to separate them from the waste. "All solid materials can be crushed with the exception of very heavily reinforced concrete and excessively large metal materials," says Tuovinen.
Tuovinen emphasizes the ability of Tana crushers to handle versatile and difficult waste. "The crushing process is the same regardless of the power source and material flow. The more diverse and challenging the material reduction needs are, the better the TANA crushers perform compared to other solutions and the faster the investment pays for itself," he explains.
The Tana crushers are used globally for a variety of waste types. In Benelux, for example, they process fishing nets and ship's ropes, as well as greenhouse waste. "These are obviously very niche fields," says Tuovinen. He also mentions that customers in countries like Finland, Estonia, USA, Australia, Cyprus and Turkey use the crushers to process car tires and other traffic waste.
The Tana crushers represent Tana's promise: "From waste to value." They enable the reuse of waste by breaking it down into appropriate particle sizes. This supports the EU Waste Directive and helps ensure that waste can be used as a new material resource or as energy. "The full potential of waste streams is not widely known," says Tuovinen.
With Tana crushers, waste streams can be processed into a wide range of particle sizes, from 50 to 500 mm. "Adjusting the particle size is quick and easy thanks to the screen on the TANA crushers," explains Tuovinen.
In 2024, Tana plans to launch a new powerful machine to improve the recycling of municipal waste, which will enable the separation of organic waste and increase recycling rates. Stay tuned!
