Challenge
When shredding household items (such as sofas), often these products contain toxic, carcinogenic Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) which are invisible and can harm human health and the wider environment. The Environment Agency has brought in legislation around the storage and disposal of such furniture for this reason and this lab-tested dust suppression meets the latest compliance.
Solution
In collaboration with Air Spectrum, CRJ presents a straightforward and effective solution for managing shredder dust. Taking an innovative, proactive approach, CRJ Services has explored a novel dust suppression method for shredding household furniture. We seized the opportunity to trial the JetStream Smartech with the HAAS Tyron 2000XL 2.0 at the Biffa Dewsbury site. The Haas slow-speed shredder was equipped with 9 Jetstream nozzles, creating a light mist (15-50 micron droplets) to supress POPs in the shredded material. Watch the full video here.
How does the Jetstream work?
The Airspectrum JetStream Smartech is an intelligently controlled, compressed air misting system that can supply and control multiple nozzles across various zones using the latest PCB technology.
- The Jetstream range features powerful, single nozzles driven by high-capacity airflow.
- Jetstream systems are installed directly at the source of the problem - utilising powerful jets of fine mist, they effectively control dust as it is produced by the shredder.
- Each Jetstream system is custom-built for each HAAS unit and is compatible with the HAAS static and mobile shredders.
