That throughput capacity is insane! 1200kg/h for PET bottles is game-changing for recycling plants. 👍
How does the energy recovery system compare to competitors? The 22% seems impressive but I wonder about real-world conditions.
Our facility has been running the standard model – this enhanced version looks worth the upgrade just for the maintenance intervals alone.
LOL at ‘heavy-duty’ – more like ‘absolute unit’! That 25mm steel housing isn’t messing around 😂
The interlocking cassette blade system is a brilliant design move. Changing blades used to take us half a day.
Anyone else notice the noise reduction? 10dB quieter is huge for operator comfort during long shifts.
Still waiting to see how the AI optimization performs in real industrial settings. Sounds promising though!
That ATEX Zone 22 certification is clutch for our chemical plant operations. Dust explosions are no joke.
