Genesis
According to their developer, Genesis XT
mobile shears represent ‘the industry’s next-
generation shears, designed to process scrap
more efficiently’. The shears fit on smaller car-
riers, reducing initial outlay on the equipment
as well as energy consumption, Genesis says.
The Genesis XTs come in four model types: the
555, 555R, 665 and 665R. Shorter in length/height
and lighter in weight, their centre of gravity is
closer to the excavator, enabling the 555 and 665
models to be mounted on excavators of 20 to 30
tonnes which, previously, could accommodate
only smaller, less powerful shears, Genesis explains.
The apex, where most of the cutting is done, is
closer to the back of the jaws, thus improving
material gathering while increasing cutting per-
formance and efficiency, the developer claims.
In addition, the Genesis XTs offer improved vis-
ibility through lower shear height, the firm says.

Granutech Saturn Systems
Granutech Saturn Systems, the Texas-based man-
ufacturer of recycling equipment, formally
launched its next-generation Saturn Grizzly
grinder series at the ISRI Expo. The new Super 80
(S-80) model features several design and per-
formance enhancements, including a higher
horsepower, slower speed and the production of
four times more torque than the original Model
80, while delivering a capacity of 10 tonnes per
hour in rubber scrap recycling applications. The
grinder can handle a variety of materials, includ-
ing tyres, non-ferrous metals, plastics and e-scrap.
Aimed at customers who need to process at
higher volumes while making a smaller prod-
uct, the S-80 boasts a new knife and rotor
design that is said to work exceptionally well
on tyres. Other features include larger shafts
and bearings, a solid one-piece forged rotor,
and a higher capacity gearbox. All this supports
the grinder’s ability to produce nearly four
times more torque than the standard M-80
model while doubling the machine’s produc-
tion. A single-line tyre processing system can
now achieve an hourly capacity of 8 tonnes – ‘an
amount previously unattainable before the
Super-80’, according to the company.

Holmatro
Based in the Netherlands, Holmatro designs,
develops, produces and supplies hydraulic
products and systems for industrial applica-
tions as well as technical rescue services. In
Orlando, the company showcased its new dou-
ble-acting aluminium cylinders which allow
workers to lift 100 tonnes on their own.
The cylinders are more than 50% lighter than steel
ones but just as strong, the company says. They
are made of 7075-T6 black anodised aluminium
and are fitted with the Duo Power Ring concept
– a combination of a superior seal and an extreme-
ly strong composite bearing. In addition, the XL
Saddle protects the plunger of the cylinder and
guides the load as effectively as possible.
The new range of double-acting aluminium
cylinders consists of 24 models with different
capacities and stroke lengths.

Oxford Instruments
The X-MET7000 eXpress hand-held XRF ana-
lyser from Oxford Instruments verifies and
screens material up to four times faster than the
X-MET7000 quickSort, the company states. The
unit features the firm’s 40 kV X-ray tube and high-
resolution, high-count-rate silicon drift detector.
Part of the X-MET7000 series, it boasts the larg-
est touchscreen in the hand-held XRF market
(4.3 inches) as well as the largest alloy grades
library at more than 1600 entries, the company
claims. Large,
functional
