New real-time weighing strengthens your waste shredding business
You know what materials come to your site and you know what leaves the site, but do you know how much it costs to shred the waste fragments? And do you know exactly how much you can shred in a given time? Or how much you have just shredded?
These are vital questions as your business success is based on the volume of material you shred. Even minor deviations between assumed and real volumes can cause remarkable impact on your profit margin over time.
To give you the competitive advantage in your business, we are currently working hard on adding dynamic weighing functionality to TANA Shark shredders which will be available as option. The actual weigh is realized with sensors placed on the conveyor belt. It is controlled by TANA Control System and the weighing results will be processed by TANA ProTrack® information system which will produce e.g. monthly reports of the operation. TANA ProTrack® reports are a practical way of providing you with information that simplifies your business decisions and forecasting; you will be able to see how much material you have shredded, which are the particle sizes and how much the shredding has cost you.
You can fine-tune the report to exactly meet your needs. Most of the information is gathered automatically, but you can customize the report by entering certain parameters such as prices.
Stay tuned for more information in very near future! Meanwhile, take a look on the preliminary example report on the value adding data you get with dynamic weighing of shredded materials.

With dynamic weighing on ProTrack® reports you can monitor:
- Operating hours
- Tonnes shredded by waste fraction
- Comparisons between different machines in your fleet
- Operations in a diary format
- Operator performance
