* J.McIntyre Machinery
UK-based TARDIS manufacturer J.McIntyre Machinery Ltd is cur-

rently putting the final touches to its ninth and tenth machines for
Aluminium Bahrain. The two units will bring the total number of
TARDIS aluminium dross cooling and pressing systems operating world-
wide to 182. Also recently, the Nottingham-based firm has won an order
for a second TARDIS for Alcoa Swansea in Wales. Over the past year,
J McIntyre has invested heavily in new product development and has
also expanded into other areas within the aluminium industry. The com-
pany is now able to offer quality casting machines and automatic extru-
sion shears.

* AXO Shredders
AXO Shredders of Wellington, New Zealand, has sold one of its

WM408 model Mobile Shredding Trucks to Katana of Geneva,
Switzerland. Fitted to a Renault Midlum Cab and Chassis, the WM408-
16 can handle one tonne per hour of waste office paper. It boasts an
unloading time of less than one minute and a low-weight design which
allows greater payloads. Each of the two shafts of the slow-speed, high-
torque shredder is independently driven to reduce overloading in a com-
mon gearbox. The shafts and cutters are also milled from a single piece of
steel, making them very robust, eliminating shaft breakage and improv-
ing throughput. To cater for different security levels, AXO offers various
cut sizes. Should a greater throughput be required, AXO can also provide
the WM608 model which is capable of processing waste office paper at a
rate of well over 2 tonnes per hour. Several of these machines are cur-
rently on order for the European market.

AXO Shredders claims to be the largest manufacturer of mobile docu-
ment shredding trucks outside North America and also the largest sup-
plier to the Japanese market. AXO supplies the European market from
its office in Bedford, UK.

In the article ‘Scrap and radioactivity – avoiding the road to Whoville’ on
page 38 of the May issue of Recycling International, it could have been
inferred that the photo showed a radioactivity gate detection system from
Exploranium. In fact, this was a picture of a vehicle monitoring system from
RadComm of Toronto, Canada which Recycling International took in
September last year at the scrap yard of AIM in Montreal, Canada.
