wire strippersWire Strippers

Increase your revenue and profits on scrap wire and cable! Wire strippers are designed to strip rubber and plastic coverings from copper and aluminum wire and cable. Our heavy-duty strippers handle any length wire ranging from 1/8” to 2 1/2” in diameter. Designed for efficient, easy and dependable operation with heavy structural construction, direct drive, hardened cutter blades, and sealed ball bearings.

Banding ChoppersBanding Choppers

DeHart Recycling Equipment carries tough, economical scrap choppers that can reduce cumbersome waste banding and wire into “recycler friendly” scrap.

Our fully engineered choppers are for use at loading docks, warehouses or and manufacturing floors. Just load the material (banding) into the infeed funnel. The feedworks (pinch rolls) will then grab the material and pull it into the rotating knife path. The feedworks will continue to pull until the material is consumed or the operator stops the chopper. We offer a wide range of choppers suitable for various industrial usages. Banding choppers provide increased workplace safety, reduced housekeeping costs, and convert scrap materials into increased cash flow.

Pre-CrusherPre-Crusher

Pre-crushers reduce shipping crates, barrels and other bulky items to a fraction of their original size. Each stroke of the powerful ram crushes disposed material against a tough solid steel bulkhead at the end of the charging chamber. The bulkhead automatically lifts and the crushed material is forced into the receiving container. Extremely high reduction ratios are achieved because air pockets in the material are eliminated – offering substantial savings in hauling costs. Loads are easily emptied out of the receiving container because the material has lost much of its "memory."

 

Scrap GlassGlass Processing

We offer a complete line of glass crushing and pulverizing equipment, providing solutions for a variety of budgets and processing applications. Equipment choices range from a small crusher for low volume use to larger units at recycling centers to entire processing lines for restaurants and bars.

Our equipment gives you the flexibility to process a variety of glass materials making glass recycling efficient while separating the waste (debris, rings, and labels) and removing contaminants.

DeHart Recycling Equipment carries glass processing equipment that cater to a variety of needs:

  • Marketing crushed glass that is a by-product of operations

  • Seeking innovative markets and uses for your glass

  • Separating glass from a mixed container stream

With the commingled separation system (COSS), commingled containers pass below a magnetic separator and ferrous metals are extracted. The remaining material then passes on to the breaker that reduces the glass in the stream. The material is then conveyed to a trommel screen that separates the glass from the aluminum and plastic which can then be sorted manually or through the use of a screen and an eddy current.
