Eastern Laramie County Solid Waste Disposal District’s approach to maximizing airspace while improving operational efficiency.
For Tire Reclaim, a tire recycling company operating in the Pacific Northwest, Tana Shark Shredders have become an important part of the business. When collecting and recycling tires, reducing their size by using the Tana machines makes them more transportable and the business more cost-effective.
“The profitability of being able to remove tires and reduce the size versus hauling whole tires is very foundational to the success of our business. The mobile Tana shredder is able to go to the site, reduce the size, and allow us to transport accordingly. The shredders are also equipped with cross-belt magnets for separating metals out from the tires,” says Craig Hunter, President of Tire Reclaim. While this cuts down on the volume of the tires even further, the company also turns a profit from recycling the recovered metals.
Tana pairs its quality hardware with advanced software innovations to ensure customers get the most out of their machines. TanaConnect® (previously ProTrack) is a smart system for gaining performance metrics and maintaining the optimal operation of the equipment. Hunter points to the advantages TanaConnect® affords his company:
“One of the biggest features for me as the president is being able to log in to the TanaConnect® system. It gives me real-time numbers and reports, breakdowns, and things like that. From what I can see on the computer screen, I can gauge whether we’ll be able to move to another job soon or not. The TanaConnect® is a big selling feature for me.”
To maintain the highest standards of customer service, Tana & Humdinger provides prompt support to address any issues or concerns that may arise. According to Hunter, Tana’s excellent communication with its customers is a great benefit to Tire Reclaim.
He explains there is a direct line of communication between their operator management and Humdinger Equipment, so they are able to have real-time recommendations for repairs which results in minimal down-time.
Hunter says, “I would say that the customer service from Tana has been far and above what we expected.”
