This is the “Olaf Eidal” mattress spring compactor and box spring slicer, both of which are dedicated in loving memory of Clayton Olaf Deraas.
Sales price for this box spring slicer also depends on the design, hp and duty cycle, delivered to any commercial location in the usa, and will vary in price from $30,000.00 to $58,000.00.
The mattress spring compactor was invented, built, and patented by the Olaf group of Duluth Minnesota, for their local goodwill industries, as a true gesture of local “good will” Their equipment has been running for the last 6 years without issues because it is simple… The design on the mattress spring compactor uses a tilt deck and standard cylinders to crush three mattress springs into a #2 bundle.
It has proved to be very reliable and highly successful for the upgrade of mattress spring metal, as compared to the low metal value of loose mattress springs This upgrade value has given Duluth goodwill a huge boost to their profit margin for their mattress recycling operation We are always improving our equipment designs and we are pleased to offer this mattress spring compactor to help improve profit margins for our clients.
The process is patented, it is simple and easy to operate, with very low maintenance…… The process begins by stripping the mattress of all materials leaving an empty spring assembly.
Three spring assemblies are placed on the feed deck of the mattress compactor which rotates the mattress springs into the main compactor assembly for densification The feed deck locks in place and the downstroke cylinders compress the mattress springs into a long log Then the log platen is locked in place and the side ram compacts the “log” into a densified “bale”.
The bale is ejected onto the floor, where it is palletized for shipment to the steel mills.
You can now convert low grade spring assemblies into an upgraded #2 bale form, for improved scrap value for recycling We all know that uncompacted, the mattress springs have almost no value, and this is one machine that increases their value Compacting the mattress spring into a bale, or shredding the mattress spring, has a guaranteed commodity value, as a compacted or shredded scrap Uncompacted mattress springs have no set commodity value The next machine for every mattress recycler is the box spring slicer This slicer works in the same fashion as our compactor The box spring assembly is loaded onto the feed deck of the box spring slicer.
The loading deck moves toward the stripper blade and the box spring is ripped away from the wood box frame assembly.
We have other options for all mattress recycling operations A third option for your recycling operation is the use of a shredder Many groups think that recycling equipment and even heavy duty shredders are expensive They are not as expensive as one would think There are two basic designs for shredders that are used in mattress recycling operations The shear type shredders and the single shaft rotary grinder.
Single shaft grinders are used for the processing of a wide range of materials from foam, to cloth, and wood….
One of our most economical shear type shredders is our model 3434, 40 hp unit, and it is offered complete for under $45,000.00 ex works, And Our extended version shear type shredder model 8434, 60 hp unit, is offered complete for under $90,000.00 ex works The other shredder design used in the mattress recycling field is our single shaft grinder One of our most popular SSG units is our model 2024 or 2420, 20 hp unit, that is offered complete for under $45,000.00 ex works.
Another option for customers is our larger SSG shredder model 6060, 75 hp unit, which is offered complete for under $95,000.00 ex works.
We did not know of its success until recently and now we are letting the industry know about our ability to process pocket coils for metal separation from the fibre cover.
The layout shown above is for this 3434 shredder The combination of multiple machines can help increase value of end products and makes a mattress recycling operation complete The shreds from all of our shear type shredders including our 3434 shredder, are classified by ISRI as a shredded metal product.
The shredder shown in this picture above is our heavy duty 3434 shredder which is offered around the world for $45,000.00 It can be delivered to any plant in the USA and Canada at this price It can also be supplied with an infeed conveyor and discharge conveyor as shown.
The 3434 shredder is driven with two 20 hp electric motors and weighs about 7 tons The design was originally made for metal shredding, and it was first applied in 1972 to shred whole car and pickup tires.
We are now offering a wide variety of machines to the recycling industry for use in the recycling of mattresses The joint venture with Eidal and Olaf is now in full swing… We are offering these products under the “Eidal-Olaf brand” that is backed with full support and a coordinated manufacturing and marketed plan by www.shredderhotline.com.
We design and build turnkey recycling systems and shredding plants – we have done so since 1966.
