Combining the reliability and versatility of the Tana landfill compactor and shredder with smart software solutions and responsive technical support, Tana products provide high compaction rates and minimal downtime to waste operations.
The Mountain View Regional Waste Commission in Alberta, Canada, operates a Tana Shark DT shredder and the Tana E380 compactor. In contrast to previously used products from other suppliers, Landfill Manager Ryan Verbonac says the Commission has seen its compaction rate go through the roof.
Looking at the shredder, Verbonac says the Shark shredder has been a solid tool on the site and a superior product by comparison to other machines:
“Our operators have really enjoyed running it. We’ve had two other shredders here.”
The Tana is a particularly versatile shredder, so no matter the waste stream, shredding can be done with one machine rather than multiple pieces of equipment. This expedites the process, contributing to the exceptional rate of compaction.
Verbonac explains, “The shredder can do mattresses, wood, tree branches, all that stuff,” and the end product compacts so well that shredding mattresses alone will almost recoup the price of the machine.
Downtimes cost time and money, so keeping things up and running is a priority for any operation. The machines are built for durability, while the TanaConnect® (Previously ProTrak) information management system facilitates fast and effective troubleshooting in the event of any disruptions.
TanaConnect® allows overseeing the machines while they’re running and quickly honing in on the cause of an interruption to the usual performance of the equipment. As the system helps identify the source of technical issues, the service dealer can promptly arrive on-site, ready to repair the problem and return the machine to normal operation. Replacement parts between the shredder and compactor are also similar and sometimes interchangeable, which also aids in minimizing downtime.
“The most downtime we’ve had in two and a half years is maybe two hours,” Verbonac says.
According to Verbonac, with their versatility, reliability, and great service, the Tana machines have raised the bar in landfill waste management for the Mountain View Waste Commission:
“It’s far beyond what the competition ever supplied to us.”
