The recycler has been trained to sort plastics by polymer, C-wood and scrap metal by color and by shape. Typically, each robot arm can sort and move around in a 6½-foot-by-6½-foot-area, ensuring the systems high sorting performance. The smart gripper is designed to meet the demands of solid waste and to avoid slipping and dropping objects. The robot’s smart gripper opens from ¾ inch to 20 inches, allowing you to sort of objects of various shapes and sizes. The ZenRobotics Recycler is designed to separate large and heavy objects of up to 45 pounds.

to install a sorting line from Helsinki, Findland-based ZenRobotics in its construction and demolition debris (C&D) recycling facility. Plexus Recycling Technologies, Westminster, Colorado, announces that Austin, Texas, recycling company Recon Services Inc.’s 973 Materials will be the first facility in the U.S. ZenRobotics upgrades recycler, supplies system to C&D facility “Reducing the need for working at heights and the removal of personnel from the demolition work face has been the cornerstone of our risk minimization strategy,” adds Gill. “The obvious key advantage is that we can now demolish substantially larger and heavier structures without the need to preweaken them, reducing any reliance on working at heights and removing the risk of personnel preweakening structures,” says Liberty Industrial Director Simon Gill. The shear will be put to work processing large structural steel members associated with the heavy boilers, turbine hall, precipitators and filter fabric structures. The project involves the removal of a 1,400-megawatt coal-fired power station and is the largest power station demolition project to be carried out in Australia to date, according to Dick. The shear is making its debut at Liberty Industrial’s Munmorah Power Station Demolition Project. “This technology will make the demolition environment a safer and more efficient workplace,” he comments. Liberty Industrial Director Clinton Dick says the GXT 2555R is perfect for heavy industrial demolition projects like the demolition of oil refineries, power stations and mining infrastructure. It has a jaw opening of 4.6 feet and a depth of 4.6 feet.

The shear itself is 25.75 feet in length and 9.5 feet tall. Weighing in at more than 31 metric tons, the shear-when paired with Liberty Industrial’s Liebherr R994-brings the combination to a gross weight of more than 260 metric tons. The shear was designed and manufactured in Superior, Wisconsin, by Genesis Attachments LLC, Superior, Wisconsin, specifically to work in tandem with Liberty Industrial’s R994 demolition excavator by Liebherr, Newport News, Virginia. With a cutting force of more than 3,000 metric tons, the custom-made GXT 2555R attachment is designed to mechanically shear large heavy steel structures with ease and to be capable of cutting through a 48-inch steel I-beam in a single bite.
