Case Study Organics Management

Abstract

The Majuro Atoll Waste Company in RMI needed a more efficient solution for processing the tough, fibrous organic materials typical of the Pacific region. The existing “disk-blade” shredders struggled to process the materials, requiring frequent stoppages for blade clearance and overheating. A due-diligence investigation identified “drum-blade” shredders offer a safer, more efficient, and durable solution. The drum-blade shredder was procured for the Republic of Marshal Islands, this case study provides information on the selection process and operational details.
