After impressing operators onsite during a comprehensive demonstration, ANL took delivery of an EDGE VS420 at the start of 2024. The twin shaft shredder from FOCUS enviro has enabled ANL to increase their production capacity without compromising quality. Featuring a high-torque, twin shaft shredding chamber specifically designed for processing organics and timber waste, the VS420 ensures a uniform piece size and exceptional production rates all of which is achieved with an exceptional low fuel consumption. The shredder’s unmatched torque, user-friendly operational controls and load management system enhance its functionality, efficiency, and uptime, making it a perfect fit for ANL’s high-volume needs.

To fully leverage the production capacity of their new waste shredder, ANL paired the VS420 with an EDGE TRT622 track trommel, a proven screening solution throughout Australia. This robust trommel screening with class leading features has been a welcome enhancement to ANL’s equipment arsenal. With advanced screening capabilities, this trommel has become essential for efficiently separating and sizing compost materials. Its track-mounted design provides excellent mobility, allowing ANL to optimize their composting process with greater flexibility and precision.

Completing ANL’s new suite of machinery is the EDGE TS80 track stacker, which has significantly improved the way in which compost material is handled and stored at the Badgerys Creek facility. Designed to maximize stockpile capacity while maintaining easy maneuverability, the TS80 is crucial for the dynamic operations at ANL’s facilities, ensuring efficient material handling and storage.

James Myers, Operations Manager at ANL’s Badgerys Creek facility, praised the new equipment and the support provided by FOCUS enviro. He stated, “We’ve purchased the VS420 slow speed shredder, the EDGE TRT trommel, and TS80 stacker, all of which are user-friendly, produce a great product, and are very reliable. FOCUS enviro has been very good to deal with, always friendly, always reliable, and always there when you need them.”

The integration of new EDGE Innovate equipment marks a significant enhancement in ANL’s green waste processing capabilities. With FOCUS enviro’s support, ANL continues to lead the way in sustainable waste management, turning organic waste into valuable resources efficiently and reliably. This collaboration not only strengthens ANL’s operational capacity but also underscores the importance of innovation and partnership in achieving environmental sustainability.
