The versatility of the TANA Shark 440DTeco means that it can be loaded and shredded to a variety of sizes by a single operator. Plastic waste isn\u2019t going away, so it\u2019s great that companies like New Horizon Plastics are using their ingenuity to put it to different applications. They\u2019ve developed an operation to process waste and we\u2019ve got the machine for it, which can do this job all day, every day.<\/p>\n<p>With a large choice of settings to adjust the drum torque, the drum speed, the belt speed and position of the magnet etc, the versatile TANA Shark can indeed be put to many different uses. And with the excellent capacity, interchangeable screening sizes and remote-controlled maneuverability, an operator can quickly switch to shredding a different product at a different area within the same job site.
