Ulster Shredders has installed a U-45 industrial shredder at Quitmann Facilities to enhance the recycling of end-of-life packaging. The shredder processes Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and large plastic drums, enabling efficient size reduction for transport and recycling.

Quitmann Packaging required a solution capable of handling bulky containers with reliable performance. The U-45 features a high-torque, low-speed shredding system tailored for thick-walled plastics, ensuring consistent throughput. The installation improves material handling efficiency, reduces transport costs, and supports a circular economy approach by preparing materials for further recycling.
