RECYCLING & WASTE HANDLING
New JCB brings major fuel savings for recycling firm The first waste and recycling firm to buy a
new Tier 4i JCB 457 Wastemaster wheeled loading shovel has recorded major fuel savings in its first few months of operation. York Recycling took delivery of the machine earlier this year and is delighted with the performance – both in terms of productivity and fuel efficiency – shown at its Alne recycling facility near York. York Recycling Director Tony Eyres said:
“We ordered the new 457 based on the performance of our previous JCB 456 models which were excellent in terms of reliability and overall cost of ownership. This machine, however, takes it to another level. The drivers love the air conditioning and power, while for me there is absolutely no question we are saving on fuel since introducing the new model.”
The new JCB 457 Wastemaster is a Stage
IIIB (Tier 4 Interim) compliant wheeled loading shovel, purpose built for bulk materials handling in the waste and recycling industry. The model delivers fuel savings of up to 6% – reducing cost of ownership.
These fuel consumption savings are made possible by the Eco driveline package, featuring a 5-speed transmission with torque converter lock-up, intelligent clutch cut off and wheel speed braking. It also has a low idle feature and an engine shutdown mode, which kicks in after a pre-determined idle period to
save fuel further. Improved
productivity is achieved through more power (16%) and more torque (18%) compared to the outgoing 456. York
Recycling’s
457WM has been specified with puncture resistant mines tyres, a weigh loader and a high capacity JCB bucket. It works in tandem with a brand new JCB JS220 Wastemaster excavator model with hydraulically raised cab and a selector grab attachment. The machines operate within an indoor facility operated by York Recycling. The 457WM model stockpiles the waste delivered on site for the JS220 to pick and place into a steel trommel. It is also used for loading high-sided trailers with material for onward distribution.
York Recycling says there is “no question” it is saving fuel since introducing the new JCB 457 Wastemaster wheeled loading shovel – pictured here at the company’s Alne recycling facility near York.
The site processes between 1200 and 1500 tonnes of domestic and commercial waste
each week This is processed to produce refuse-derived fuel by shredding and dehydrating the solid waste using waste converter technology. Tony Eyres added: “Both machines are performing well with no downtime. Throughout the process the expertise and support from dealer TC Harrison has also been first class. We have nothing but praise for the team which will always go the extra mile for us.”
