FULLERTON, CA — Yokohama TireCorporation has announced it will im-plement a price increase of up to 11 per-cent on all of its ‘off the road’ (OTR) tiresin the U.S., effective September 1. Therewill be inline adjustments, as well,which will be announced at a later date.
Gary Nash, Yokohama vice president,OTR Sales, attributed the price in-crease on the escalating costs of rawmaterials, such as natural rubber. “Theentire OTR industry continues to bechallenged with high costs of raw mate-rials that it has had to contend withover the last few years,” he said. “Com-pounding these costs are the risingcosts in transportation and manufac-turing. We regret to have to take thestep but find it necessary to have theincreases reflected in our pricing. As al-ways, Yokohama will produce the bestOTR tires at competitive prices usingour latest technology and environmen-tal procedures and integrating themwith operational efficiencies.”
Yokohama Tire Corporation is theNorth American manufacturing andmarketing arm of Tokyo, Japan basedThe Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., a glob-al manufacturing and sales company ofpremium tires since 1917.

Ask the Grinder Guy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5by Dave Whitelaw
there a less expensiveway to grind shingles? Isbigger better?
I’m not going to touchthe latter, but could yoube more specific about ex-pensive? You are obvious-ly spending a lot of money.
Shingles are made of tarand gravel. They stick toeverything and wear metalso fast you can see yourmoney eroding away.
In my limited shinglegrinding experience I cantell you that tips lasthours and screens lastjust days so you better be
getting paid a whole lotper ton for the material.
This is a fairly new andbooming industry. Thereare purpose built ma-chines strictly for grindingshingles and there areshingle packages that canadapt other grinders intoshingle grinding machines.Both can process wholeshingles into 1/4-inchpieces or larger, but that isnot necessarily better.
In either case, the sig-nificant speed of thehammer mill createstremendous wear andmost machines needsome sort of screen on
the finish side to bringmaterial to spec.
In addition, the heatgenerated with this speedneeds to be minimized. Alot of water is pumpedinto the grinding cham-ber to suppress the heatand control the dustwhich is created by thehigh speed hammer mill.The air turbulence creat-ed forces shingle dust outthe incoming and outgo-ing sides of the grindingchamber. If it is not con-trolled, it is trapped in airfilters and will melt andstick to every hot surfaceof the engine.
Although water is nec-essary in this situation, itis not your friend. Evergrind wet leaves? If so,then you know what I’mtalking about. In some in-dustries water is used asa lubricant, but most anytype of wet material ingrinding causes addition-al wear.
The excessive water usealso carries away shinglefines and released oilsthat you want to keep. Itcomes out every smallhole and crack in thegrinder. The oils alsostick to the dischargebelting where they arewashed away and lost.
Drew Meylan, Opera-tions manager for C.S.Carey Inc. of Kansas City,KS thinks he has the an-swer and uses very littlewater. “I use a sprinkleron the pile,” only for nui-sance dust as you may doin a wood grinding opera-tion. C.S. Carey does con-tract grinding and shred-ding and uses aKomptech Crambo slowspeed shredder with 2-inch screens for shinglesand ends up with 70 per-cent finished 1/2-inchminus product in onepass without using waterin the grinding process.The slow speed of theshredder shafts, limit hiswear as well. Currently,asphalt plants buying re-cycled product “are pay-ing for two and a halftons of water per truck-load,” Meylan says. Everyasphalt plant has toevaporate that water be-fore being able to liquefytheir product in theprocess, so Meylan be-lieves he can ship a high-er quality product andgive his customers a larg-er volume per load.
Whatever method orsize machine you are us-ing, “it all comes down tocost per ton,” says ScottHarrington of Rotochop-per Inc., manufacturersof the first shingle specif-

ic machine. If a machinecosts twice the price, ithas to do twice the vol-ume and the parts andfuel costs can’t increasethe cost per ton.
Shingle material “isgritty and abrasive” saysLori Rheinberger of theQueen of Parts, “thismeans you will wear outyour parts faster.” Rhein-berger suggests tryingdifferent tips. She stockstips that have a solid car-bide surface, not just atungsten carbide coating.If you are limited in yourselection of tips becauseof patents of proprietaryparts, it is probably goingto cost you money.
So with all this infor-mation, how do we re-duce costs?
• Try a slower speedmachine if possible;
• Try different tips.Also, try building up yourscreens and tips withweld. This does not haveto be perfect especially ifyou are screening tospec. An extra hour outof a tip is probably a 10percent savings. All theseparts are going into thesteel recycle bin eventu-
ally anyway;• If possible in your
grinder, reverse thescreens. Each screenwill wear at an angle oneway and you can get alittle longer life just byflipping a screen around180 degrees;
• With a high speed ma-chine, try different grinderscreen sizes if you use atrommel or similar ma-chine on the backend tomake spec product. Iflarger pieces are blockingthe holes in the grindingprocess and not lettingthe finer material out,then you are creating ad-ditional wear. A largerscreen will increase yourproduction and lessenyour wear. You will have tocompare the yield of fin-ished product to over aseach machine and screensize will be different;
• Control the dust. Airfilters are hundreds ofdollars and you willchange them daily inyour grinder and yoursupport equipment.
• Cooler weather is bet-ter. If you can stockpile fora different time of year,the shingles are much
more brittle when cold;• Use a smooth dis-
charge belt and beltcleaner to capture all thefines you are creating andkeep them in the pile.May need a chute to fun-nel material off the beltinto a pile to it doesn’t getcarried away;
• Keep the radiator outof the dust. The radiatorwill plug resulting in in-creased engine tempera-tures and more fuel usage;
• Keep your source pileas clean as possible. Con-tamination costs youmoney on disposal andrejected product. If youscreen material, use a
Windsifter or Hurrikan onthe overs material to re-move paper and plasticprior to regrinding; and
• Limit the speed, heatand fines containment inthe grinding chamber.

From the time you drive onto Bayshore RecyclingCorp’s Eco Complex and Energy Campus, it is imme-diately evident that there is a lot going on at the 52acre facility. On a site that opened nearly a centuryago as a surface quarry clay mine supplying materialfor brick production, to becoming this mega-plex ofsolid waste recycling that it is today, Bayshorebustles with trucks coming and going from morninguntil night.
These trucks can be loaded with everything fromscrap metal and C&D waste to contaminated soil andconstruction debris. Once they have delivered theirshipments to this operation alongside the RaritanRiver in Keasbey, Woodbridge Township, NJ, many ofthose same trucks will be loaded with recycled aggre-gate, making a return trip to construction projects inthe tri-state area. Others will head across the scales,loaded with baled paper, cardboard, or scrap metal,heading to commodities customers in the U.S. andabroad.
According to Valerie Montecalvo, president andCEO of Bayshore Recycling, there are currently sevenseparate enterprises in action here, with plans formore in the coming months. “We are planning toexpand our solar energy capabilities, and we are look-ing at wind and biofuel energy generation as well,”she said. “The Company’s vision is to be the mostenvironmentally responsible, self-sustaining and ver-tically integrated recycling facility in the nation. Weare looking to provide our own electrical power from
a variety of sources including the use of biofuels andother byproducts generated from our daily recyclingactivities.”
Valerie and her husband Frank are the visionariesand implementers of these innovative ideas. Togetherthey are on track to achieve their goals, heading up agroup of companies that meet the demands of theentire spectrum of the construction and demolitionindustry’s waste stream.
The Montecalvo Group of Companies currentlyincludes Bayshore Recycling Corp.; Bayshore SoilManagement, LLC; Montecalvo Disposal Services,Inc.; Costal Metal Recycling Corp.; Port RaritanMarine Terminal; Montecalvo Contracting Corp. andRecycling Technology Development, LLC. With morethan 30 years of construction and recycling experi-ence, the Montecalvos work closely with the NJDEPand NJDOT to make sure that their suppliers of rawmaterial comply with the guidelines that help keepthe recycling industry safe and compliant.
How it all startedFrank said that their businesses began when he as
a young man right out of high school. He bought adump truck and started a construction company thatfocused on site preparation for general commercialand residential construction. Over time, the businessgrew; and at one point, the Montecalvos chose torecycle their own concrete and asphalt pavementdebris as part of two large industrial jobs — this wasin the early to mid 1990s. “That was at a time when there was no track record
of how on site recycling might work,” he said. “We setup the crusher and screener near the job site on avacant property. At that time, we had the support oflocal township engineers who were eager to see thework done safely, efficiently and quickly.”
The project required the total reconstruction of anindustrial road that accessed many local businessesincluding a grocery distributor and a national truck-ing terminal whereas the road needed to stay openaround the clock. He said that they found that theynot only were able to remake the road in a faster timethat originally planned, but that by using therecycled material in the construction of the roadway,the quality of the paving and the sub-base were sosound that to this day, the roadway has yet to beredone.
The Montecalvo’s recycling business began toboom. After supplying recycled aggregate to boththeir own business and outside contractors for some

Bayshore from 8time, Frank and Valerie decided that they would behappier if they focused solely on recycling and wouldleave the construction work to others. Their firstpermanent recycling location was a site in PerthAmboy, NJ. Within a few years, they needed toexpand; and they bought the first 26 acres of the cur-rent 52 acre site in Keasbey.
“We are in a very accessible location,” said Frank.“This site offers extraordinary access via water, railand roadway. All of the major roadways pass throughWoodbridge Township. Since we are located on theRaritan River, we are also able to move material viabarge when necessary. We can bring in dredge mate-rial, petroleum contaminated soils or excavatedconcrete and asphalt and unload it right here on ourdock.” After processing, they can ship finished prod-uct to their customers via barge as well.
A tour of the Transfer Station/MRFA trip through the transfer station gave us an
opportunity to meet Jim Bray, the transfer stationand scrap yard manager. Jim was overseeing thesorting crews who were especially busy this day.“Since about 60 percent of the C&D debris and bulkywaste material is wood, we have devoted our MRF tomaking wood our primary commodity,” he said.
“The raw material is initially screened through anErin 10-inch finger screen with the oversized goinginto the MRF with the screenings going over a sec-ondary 2-inch vibratory screen and a GeneralKinematics destoner dual air knife to further removeaggregate and other smaller debris. All of that goesover magnets to remove as much of the ferrous mate-rial as we can.”
From there, the material goes via two lines into thesorting station, a product of Frank’s design effortscoupled with the engineering and installation of theERIN Recycling Equipment Company. A third, muchsmaller line, is devoted to isolating aggregate, whichthen is diverted to the aggregate production.
Workers have two bins in which to sort their mate-rial. Each has a bin for wood and a separate bin formaterials like plastic, metal, glass, paper, cardboardand the like. The wood is directed into a CBI 5400grinder that is powered by two, 300 hp electricmotors that operate sequentially based on demand.The other recyclables drop into their respectivecollection bins.
“The grinder runs continuously on one motor, andif the demand loads it down too much, within a fewmilliseconds, the second motor comes on to helphandle the load. When the need has passed, thesecond motor shuts down and the grinder returns toits regular mode. We produce a 6-inch shreddedproduct that goes to mulch companies or to biofuelproducers.”
“We are permitted for 10,000 tons per day ofsecondary materials, and we are looking to increasethat over time,” said Frank. “Our concrete andasphalt material comes in and is stockpiled here andon the far side of the property. We crush at two loca-tions, depending on our demand for finished product.Our primary system is an Eagle Crusher Jumbo 1400
with a built-in 6-foot x 16-foot, three deck screen. Wemake three products here. We make a 2 1/2-inchstone for general use, and we produce a base materi-al that meets NJDOT spec as well. We also have aclean 3/4-inch stone that is used like a 57. Oursecond crusher is an Extec impactor that we usewhen we need extra crushing capabilities. Since it isportable, we can take it to other job sites when theoccasion calls for it.”
Frank said that currently, 75-80 percent of whatcomes into the facility does not end up in a landfill.Materials like cardboard, aluminum and steel aresold as commodities. Miscellaneous recyclables suchas refrigerators, computers and even mattresses arerecycled according to the latest regulations. Thirdparty companies provide the appropriate documenta-tion and certifications that are needed for these prod-ucts, such as the removal of Freon from the refriger-ant equipment.
As part of Bayshore’s ongoing expansion process,two new Rice Lake scales were being installed at thetime of our visit. The ultimate goal is to be able tohave any combination of traffic lanes open to trucks
that are coming and going. In this way, they will beable to offer maximum capacity into and out of thefacility.
As we stopped at the ASTEC low temperaturethermal desorption plant that was shut down forroutine maintenance, Frank said that they are look-ing forward to the day when they will be able to gen-erate syngas on site from other byproducts to powerthe soil remediation process. The unit was installedfor Bayshore Soil Management, LLC in 2002.
“Because we take in contaminated soils, we providethe detailed tracking capability that is an integralpart of this kind of recycling,” said Frank. “We sendour soil samples to a certified lab for testing andconfirmation before our decontaminated soil headsout to its ultimate end use. We even use an XRFanalyzer to make sure that what is coming onsite ismaterial that doesn’t not contain any contaminatesfor which we are not permitted. It tells us if there areany heavy metals or other chemical compounds in aload that shouldn’t be there.” For more informationon the Montecalvo Group of Companies, contact themat 732-738-6000 or at www.bayshorerecycling.com.
by Jon M. CaseyDuring our recent visit to
Bayshore Recycling, companypresident, Valerie Montecalvoshared her company’s plans toadd several additional resourcefulenergy initiatives to the opera-tional resources already in opera-tion at their Keasbey, NJ facility.Their vision is that one day theentire facility would be totallyenergy self-sufficient. Bayshore’sEco-Complex and Energy Campuswill one day serve as an examplefor recyclers everywhere.
Environmentally friendlypower production
“When we decided to heightenthe roof of the Transfer Stationbuilding to accommodate tractortrailer dump units it gave us theperfect opportunity to include theinstallation of 9,365 solar panelsthat supply 679KW of electricalpower,” she said. “We needed tomake those changes so that thetrailers would not bump theceiling as they were dumping theirloads. The solar array suppliesabout 40 percent of the electricitythat the operation requires to run
each day.” “We are also looking at a
2.25MW wind energy system, twoprototype tidal energy projectsand additional solar arrays atopour Class A Building and on otherbuildings as they are built in thecoming years. Eventually, wewould like to have every recyclingoperation take place indoors for anumber of reasons. We also arelooking at ways to take advantageof the biomass material that weproduce here, to use as fuel forheat and power, as well.”
Recently, Gary Sondermeyer,Bayshore’s director of TechnologyDevelopment, came onboard aftera stellar career with the NewJersey Department of Environ-mental Protection. His role is tohelp Bayshore work toward itsultimate vision to build out theEco-Complex and Energy Park ina way that can serve as a rolemodel for the industry. He saidthat their theme is to create a “by-product synergy where oneprocess output becomes anotherprocesses input.”
“We have several plans in the
works as part of our “Green”vision for the future,” he said. “Weare looking at two tire recyclingtechnologies, two organic waste toenergy projects, the potential toproduce biodiesel here; and weare exploring ways to createbiogas as a byproduct of ourrecycling efforts. Our team isexcited to explore all feasibleopportunities to help eliminateCO2 emissions and to reduce ourdependence on fossil fuels.”
Valerie is extremely active in theCMRA (Construction MaterialsRecycling Association) serving asNational Vice President. Her firsthand experience working with theenvironmental and the recyclingindustries has earned her distinc-tion as a finalist in the NJBIZExecutive of the year and NJBIZBusiness of the Year honors. Shehas worked with NJDEP, NJDOTand USEPA to help form newregulations that benefit therecycling industry and protect theenvironment.

HydrauliCircuit Tech-nology based in McDo-nough, GA, a leader inafter market hydraulickits and accessories, hasbeen supplying automat-ic breaker lubricatingsystems for many years.With recent refinementsengineered into theirnewest hydraulic sys-tem, the company nowproduces a product thatmay well be the world’sbest hydraulic activatedBreaker Autolube sys-tem available.
Contractors rely onthese breaker autolubesystem primarily for ex-tending the life of theworking tool and bushingin the hydraulic breaker.Breaker manufacturer’straditionally recommendgreasing the breakerevery two hours of use.Manually greasing thebreaker has become “oldschool” as studies haveshown that most of thegrease liquefies and runsout within the first fewminutes of operation,
plus many jobsites pre-vent the equipment oper-ator from performing thisnecessary function.
Electric and hydraulicautolube systems havebecome the solution tothe manual method ofgreasing breaker unitsand reduces down timefor the purposes of greas-ing. These systems injectsmall quantities of greaseon a continuous basis foroptimum lubrication. Theresults: Overall greaseconsumption is signifi-
cantly reduced comparedto manual greasing. Theonly thing that needs at-tention is to monitor thegrease level and replacethe bucket as needed.
The new HydrauliCir-cuit Technology AutolubeSystem has taken all theguess work out of auto-matic breaker lubricatingsystems. The fully hy-draulically activated sys-tem works with a stan-dard five gallon bucket ofgrease which clampsdown on the machine
wherever the ownerprefers and is powered byservo/pilot pressure. Thegrease output is infinitelyadjustable. The key up-grade to the AutolubeSystem is the addition ofa low level warning sen-sor unit. Machine ownerscan choose between anaudible warning signaland/or complete shut-down of the breaker unitoperation when thegrease bucket is depleted.
HydrauliCircuit Tech-nology engineers statethat the cost of the systemis quickly recouped with
the resulting extendedtool and bushing life, aswell as, overall machine“up time.” The companyprovides the entire systemfor any carrier/breakercombination. The kit in-cludes the pump, flowcontrol, mounting compo-nents, fittings, adapters,low level sensor unit,hoses to the end of thestick and detailed installa-tion instructions.

In 1985, Mark Pahl of Dem-Con ShingleProcessing, was concerned by the quantity ofdiscarded construction debris that was ending up inthe country’s landfills. Knowing that a lot of it couldbe put to good use, he saw an opportunity and found-ed this new company. Based in Shakopee, MN, atfirst their business was mainly a construction anddemolition debris landfill . Over the years, the landfillhas evolved to not only demolition and constructiondebris, but also certain types of industrial wastes andimpacted soils.
“Basically, we handle all non-hazardous waste,with the exception of household trash,” Pahl says.“Construction and demolition material is still the pri-mary focus and the largest portion of our business.We take in materials from an area that includes theMinneapolis/St. Paul metro along with surroundingrural communities. We process a lot of different typesof construction debris before it enters the landfill,
which includes pulling out wood, metal, cardboard,concrete, asphalt, etc. There is a lot of value inremoving those materials prior to landfilling.”
“In our shingle process we recycle about 10,000tons of manufacturing scrap,” Pahl says. “That mate-rial that comes right from the shingle manufactureras factory rejects or end runs. Add to that additionalscraps from reroofing existing homes, hailstorms,demolition, etc., and the amount increases to some-where between 25,000 up to 40,000 tons that used togo directly into the landfill. And that’s just at ourShakopee location.”
Enlisting a wood processing trommel for assis-tance
According to Pahl, the material that Dem-Conreceives as factory rejects is ready to be processedwithout any special preparation because the materi-al is void of any contaminants or construction debris.Shingles coming from reroofing projects create a bit
more of a problem and necessitate some cleaning andfiltering since this debris often arrives mixed with avariety of other substances, including tin, metal, roofvents, boards, etc.
“On a sorting line, we remove all the debris thatdoesn’t contain asphalt,” Pahl explains. “From there,the shingles are ready to be ground. Generally thegrinder then directly feeds the material into a trom-mel screen to create the desired end product used forthe asphalt hot mix.”
Pahl uses a grinder designed specifically to processshingle material. The raw asphalt shingles are firstground to under a 1/2-inch minus size, and thatmaterial is then fed to a trommel to reduce theground shingle material to an even finer size. All ofthe overs are recycled back through the grinder.
Dem-Con purchased a Wildcat 626 trommel unitbuilt by Wildcat Manufacturing — a Vermeer ownedcompany — to assist in streamlining the process.“Our spec at the hot mix plant varies across thecountry but 1/2-inch minus is fairly standard,” Pahlexplains. Some states, including Minnesota, requirean even finer sizing and that’s when the trommelscreen is really the only way you can get a productdown to the size they want cost effectively.”
The trommel can be equipped with different screensizes to achieve the desired end result. For example,Minnesota Department of Transportation (MDOT)requires the end material to be of a consistency thatPahl describes as similar to a coarsely ground coffee.
“The number four sieve is somewhere in between a1/8 and 3/16-inch,” he explains. “The spec calls for90 percent of the material passing the number foursieve and 100 percent passing the 1/2-inch. Somestates spec a material that is a bit coarser; all aredifferent. We have found that more and more statesare requiring a finer material so with the trommel wecan adjust quickly helps us to create a lot of variablesand flexibility on how we size our final product.
Expanding and streamlining the processesDem-Con has reached out to recyclers across the
country and worked with state Departments ofTransportation (DOT) to expand asphalt shinglerecycling nationwide. This has required establishingan in-depth knowledge of the asphalt paving industryand the hot mix process used for completing roadconstruction and parking lot projects.
DemCon 17The versatility of the Wildcat trommel gives Dem-Con the ability to meet the needs of several kinds of end users.

“When we were getting this started a lot of stateDOTs didn’t have a hot mix spec using shingles, butmore and more are coming online,” Pahl says.“Whatever the DOT spec is, we are able to meet it.We’re competing with virgin asphalt because that’swhat the asphalt recovered from the shingles replace.Using shingles in the mix allows the hot mix produc-er to lower the use of the high price virgin asphalt. Soit’s really a cost savings to them and this is whatenables this process to be economically viable.”
Dem-Con works hard to pre-sell a majority of thefinal product, a necessary component of Pahl’sbusiness operation because of preparing productspecifically for so many different state DOTs andasphalt suppliers. “We have quite a bit of moneyinvested in the process and we make sure the prod-
uct has a home before we process it,” Pahl explains.“We are also working with local recyclers who areinvolved with collecting shingles throughout thecountry to help them as well. So there are timeswhere we may assist the company, just trying tomarket the material, before we ever show up toprocess it. It benefits everyone to be as cost effectiveas possible so we will assist in whatever way possibleto try to drive the process.”
Growth and expansion expectedAccording to Pahl, asphalt shingle recycling has
been occurring for several years, but the process hasjust recently become more refined, mainstream andis gaining efficiencies. As more states adopt specs forhot mix materials, he is optimistic that the industrywill continue to grow.
“The key for expansion is to get more and morestate DOTs on board,” Pahl explains. “Most hot mixmanufacturers won’t put any material in their mixunless it’s approved by the DOT. So, if you don’t havethe state DOT approving the material for use on theirroad projects, recyclers and processors aren’t goingto make the investment in the equipment or technol-ogy necessary to make it an efficient business model.We have been an integral part of advancing theprocess here in Minnesota by working with DOT, theMinnesota Pollution Control Agency, as well as hotmix producers and associations in getting groundtear off shingle material approved as a permissivespec throughout the state.”
A loader operator dumps material into the grinder. The ground material is screened to the required size with overs returning to the grinder for a second pass.
Shingle material is presorted through the sorting station on the right before it is ground up in the Rotochopper grinder and then screened through the Vermeer Wildcattrommel.

wood into tiny ones, and many Cramboseat a steady diet of stumps.
Now, not all stumps are equal. Thereare stumps from regular forestry —from ground long ago cleared of rocks,where trees are harvested before theyget too old, and where everything is gen-erally under control. And then there areKen’s stumps.
Ken Newman, general manager ofRoyal Oak Farms LLC, is a composter incentral Virginia. He needed a shredderthat would handle stumps from landclearing. After doing a lot of homeworkand field testing, he settled on aKomptech Crambo as the toughest,most capable machine available, andstarted running land cleared wastewood through it.
Ken’s stumps are “wild,” from hard-woods that grew where the seed hap-pened to fall, sometimes around rocksor even old pieces of metal, very big and
very tough. Komptech looked at the newchallenge with interest. After all, centralVirginia isn’t the only place where treesgrow big, wild and hard. So Komptechdecided to beef up the trusty Crambofor more longevity with any diet, creat-ing the new Crambo HD (Heavy Duty).
If the regular Crambo is tough, theCrambo HD is super tough. With 10percent more horsepower, armoreddrum, armored teeth, heavy duty gearbox, and heavy duty drum bearing, itcan chew through pretty much any-thing that enters its hungry maw.Komptech is confident enough of that toguarantee it for two years.
Komptech has always listened to andacted on customer feedback. This has ledto innumerable product improvementsover the years and has made Komptechmachines as uniquely efficient and de-pendable as they are. The Crambo HD isjust one more example of that.

BELLWOOD, PA — TheProfessional Recyclers ofPennsylvania (PROP), arepleased to recognizePennsylvania's most out-standing recycling andcomposting programsand projects.
The Waste Watcherawards are given to recy-cling, waste reduction,reuse and compostingprograms in Pennsylva-nia that have exhibitedexemplary performance.This year 118 municipal-ities, counties, privatebusinesses, individualsand community organi-zations from throughout
Pennsylvania are beingrecognized for goingabove and beyond whatis mandated under Act101 for their communi-ties or programs.
In keeping with tradi-tion for Waste Watchers,recipients were invited toattend the 2011 PROPConference Annual WasteWatchers luncheon, heldduring the conference inErie, PA. PROP memberswelcomed 18 WasteWatcher recipients to theluncheon. Each recipientwas recognized for theirefforts and presented aplaque by Amy Schirf,
Awards Committee Chairand Art Feltes, PROPBoard president.
When reflecting on the2011 Waste Watcher pro-gram, Committee ChairAmy Schirf commented,“We were so pleased toaward 118 Waste Watch-ers across the Common-wealth in 2011. It is in-spiring to see so manybusinesses, organiza-tions, community projectsand individuals doingtheir part for the health ofthe environment.”
Act 101 — the Munici-pal Waste Planning, Re-cycling and Waste Reduc-
tion Act has helped gen-erate significant econom-ic and environmentalbenefits for over 20years. Recycling has be-come a billion dollar in-dustry in Pennsylvania.With each passing year,there is a steady increasein the amount of collect-ed recyclables and thenumber of jobs createdby the industry. Recy-cling has saved preciousresources and energy,limited greenhouse emis-sions and other air andwater pollutants. Thisgrowth and success isthe result of a serious
commitment to recyclingby individuals, business-es, government and therecycling industry likethese award winners.

dustry suppliers. Mem-ber companies operatemore than 200 plants in
the United States, withmany conducting busi-ness worldwide.
While there are manyscale systems available,selecting the proper
equipment for specificwaste handling and recy-cling operations is impor-tant. Operators should ex-amine the type of materi-als to be handled or recy-cled, in addition to the po-tential load weight and le-gal for trade weighments.
For these types of applica-tions, the scale equipmentgenerally used includestruck scales, rail scales,forklift scales and floorscales. All of these sys-tems provide a viable

weighing solution, however, each one dif-fers in load capacity and increment size-making some better suited for certainapplication requirements than others.
Truck ScalesTruck scales are the primary scale
system choice for waste handling andrecycling applications, as they are botha versatile and convenient weighing so-lution. Truck scales can be used toweigh virtually any common material,such as newspaper, cardboard, bottlesand various metals, in addition to pro-viding the capability to handle largeloads. Truck scales operate by weighing
vehicles as they arrive or depart the re-cycling center. Further, with a mini-mum increment size of 20-pounds to belegal for trade, truck scales provide ac-curacy suitable for loads weighing tensof thousands of pounds.
Truck scale systems consist of both arugged platform and a digital instru-ment to record transactions and displayweights. To operate the system, a driversimply stops on the scale and providesan identification number, as well as anyother necessary data about the transac-tion. The vehicle then exits the scale tobe loaded or unloaded. Afterward, the
truck returns to the scale to acquire anoutgoing weighment, and the controllerprints a ticket displaying the weight anddriver/truckload data, with all collectedinformation stored in the controller’sdatabase. This is an example of a com-puter controlled ticket printing system.Alternatively, there is also a simple tick-et printing system that does not requirea computer for operation, or an unat-tended weighing system. The unattend-ed weighing system is ideal for remote
applications or during off times whenan operator isn’t present.
Rail ScalesRail scales are an ideal weighing solu-
tion for heavy commodities. One of themost common applications for railscales is scrap metal recycling, as thesematerials are often bulky and difficultto bundle or sort. Rail scales allow forconsistent weighments for transport,using the scale as checkweigher to vali-

date the weight. This maximizes theload and eliminates wasted trips. Railscales are also available in legal fortrade models. For legal for trade weigh-ing above 200,000-pounds, a rail scaleis set for a 50-pound increment size.
Rail scales are modular decks that arespaced to match up below the axles ofthe cars to be weighed, or sections ofthe instrumented rail that can be in-stalled right on the existing ties and bal-last. Rail scales can be configured forstatic or in-motion weighing applica-tions. Many systems employ the use ofRFID tags and readers for more com-plete data tracking. Further, besidesproducing total car weights, rail scalescan also provide readings for individualtrucks, axles and even wheels.
Forklift ScalesForklift scales are an effective weigh-
ing solution for waste handling and re-cycling applications, allowing operatorsto weigh bundled and palletized recy-cled materials en route. This expeditesoperations by permitting forklift driversto take commodities directly to storageupon delivery, while tracking theweight, origin and storage location dur-ing transport resulting in instantaneousdata acquisition to improve billing andinventory management. Forklift scalesare also a compact weighing solution,making them suitable for busy, crowdedrecycling yards. This makes them suffi-
cient for smaller loads, while providingnon-legal and legal for trade weighing.Forklift scales are capable of weighingup to 16,000-pounds — making themideal for a wide range of applications.Delivering a five pound graduation onsmaller loads up to 5,000-pounds, fork-lift scales are especially well suited foritems such as plastic and glass.
Forklift scales consist of a scale unitbolted onto a forklift carriage, which uti-lizes electronic weight sensors to deliverreliable weighing-even if the forklift mastis tilted or the pallet load is off center.The sensors can also compensate for in-consistent weighing conditions, such asoperating the forklift on uneven ground.The forklift driver generally uses an in-cab instrument to manage data collec-tion and communicate weight data tothe center’s computers.
Floor ScalesFor commodities with a higher per
pound value, such as aluminum cans,fine metals and copper, floor scales de-liver high accuracy weighing in a lowprofile, easily accessible design. Thesescales offer a more finite one poundgraduation, making them ideal in appli-cations where even small variations orinconsistencies can make a huge differ-ence to the bottom line. Available in awide range of platform sizes and capac-ities up to 50,000-pounds, floor scalesprovide flexibility for diverse weighing
applications. Generally featuring a non-slip scale
surface and sturdy feet, combined witha low profile or pit mounted options,floor scales ensure that the loading,weighing and unloading processes areas risk free as possible. Floor scales areusually centrally located at a recyclingcenter, so that forklift drivers and otherpersonnel can access the scale as con-veniently as possible. A forklift driverstops on the scale or sets a pallet/con-tainer on the scale so that the load
weight can be derived. The scale systemmay include a simple indicator that al-lows the operator to record and elec-tronically print the captured weight in-formation. This data collection and doc-umentation process may also be auto-mated through the use of a more so-phisticated weight indicator such asone that incorporates bar code scannersto record the product ID for each loadand a WiFi interface to communicate

weighments to a PC datacollection system. Manyfloor scales comeequipped with ramps —often one on each side —as well as in-groundmodels to help facilitatemotorized vehicle accessand accommodate vari-ous traffic patterns.While forklift drivers mayneed to adjust theirroutes and/or wait theirturn to access the scale,when profits from materi-
als this valuable are atstake, many recyclersagree that it’s worth thewait.
In the FieldStraight line recycling,
also known has singlestream recycling, is onetype of recycling applica-tion in the constructionwaste industry that re-quires weighing. Insteadof requiring customers tosort their waste individu-ally, users are able to
throw all of their wastetogether in one bin. Then,waste companies collectthe bins and sort them attheir facility using truckscales, rail scales, forkliftscales and floor scales.This allows recyclingcompanies to free up la-bor and equipment to ex-pand other services with-out a budget increase.Further, this process canactually decrease trashtonnage and increase re-
cycling tonnage. On thecustomer end, straightline recycling makes iteasier to adopt sustain-able recycling habits,without creating addi-tional work.
In addition to straightline recycling, many com-panies are using portabletruck scales for demoli-tion and site mainte-nance. For example, acompany may purchase aused facility site for their
business. To prep the fa-cility by either tearing oldmaterial down or per-forming site cleanup,companies use portabletruck scales to load andtransport materials. Thisnot only provides a con-venient, mobile weighingsolution but is also muchcheaper than installingmultiple, permanentscale systems.
For construction anddemolition recycling, a fa-cility may incorporatetruck scales to effectivelyweigh materials. For in-stance, the facility mayplace one scale outdoors,which is used to weightrucks loaded with mixedmaterials, and anotherscale may be located in-doors to weigh all of thesorted materials. Theempty truck is placed onthe scale and loaded tocapacity. To facilitatesimple and accurate doc-umentation, keep track ofsorted materials and cus-tomer billing, both scalescan be directly linked to aPC software system.
By utilizing two truckscales, operators experi-ence fast in/out times forall vehicles, eliminatinglong lines to the weighstation and operationdowntime. This also al-lows users to maximizethe number of loadsweighed in a givenamount of time, ultimate-ly optimizing overall prof-its, while in turn provid-ing an eco-friendly weigh-ing operation. Additional-ly, with some scales ca-pable of directly connect-ing to custom software,this allows for fast andaccurate data collection.Before scales offered thisfeature, companies wouldhave to print out eachtransaction and then re-enter it into their pro-gram manually increas-ing the potential for hu-man error. This may leadto inaccurate invoices orcustomer dissatisfaction.Continuous, up-to-datedocumentation also per-mits all personnel to viewdata on or off the site.
Moving ForwardWith the waste han-
dling and recycling in-dustry relying on not onlydurable and reliableweighing equipment, butalso equipment that pro-vides a lower cost of own-ership, it is important foroperators to select a scalethat will fit their applica-tion requirements. By as-sessing applicationneeds, in addition to aspecific scale’s load ca-pacity and features, aweighing system can pro-vide accurate and effi-cient documentation tooptimize profits and im-prove operations.
