Tutt Bryant understands that when it comes to waste management, every minute counts. To continue providing premium construction equipment across the waste management sector, Tutt Bryant is now stocking the McCloskey Environmental ES-250 shredder.
Paul Doran, National Business Development Manager for Tutt Bryant, says having the ES-250 readily available gives operators the ability to act fast when opportunity strikes.
“There are so many different applications where it can provide a reliable primary shred to knock material down into a manageable size,” Paul says. “It’s an all-rounder machine that can be used across municipal waste, construction and demolition waste, mattresses, and green waste.”
Weighing in at 35 tonnes, the ES-250 offers a compact footprint and impressive mobility, making it suitable for both permanent and mobile operations.
“It can very easily be put on a float and transported between sites or tracked around a landfill,” Paul says.
“There are two different tracking speeds, so if operators need to move it quickly across the other side of the site for another shredding run, they can.”
Operators can also tailor the machine to their needs thanks to two knife configurations – an eight-knife or 10-knife set – depending on the desired final product size.
“The knives are welded on and hard-faced to keep them in top condition,” he explains. “They’re designed to deliver a high-torque tearing action that breaks down material into a smaller, more uniform size.”
The result is a shredder capable of handling a wide range of materials, from landfill and council waste to green waste, construction and demolition (C&D) debris, cardboard, and paper.
With different shredding programs available, operators can configure the ES-250 to match their specific waste stream and throughput requirements.
Paul says one of the most significant benefits of the ES-250 is its ability to help operators optimise both transport and landfill efficiency.
By reducing waste into smaller, denser volumes, operators can make better use of the reduced air space, both on trucks and in landfills.
“If the shredded waste is knocked down to a smaller, more manageable size, operators can reduce air voids in the truck,” Paul says. “That means they can fit more material per load and reduce transport costs.
“At the landfill end, higher density means operators can compact more waste into the same area.”
Paul says this is a crucial advantage in today’s landscape, where developing new landfill sites has become increasingly difficult.
“Given how hard it is to get new landfills approved, operators need to maximise the capacity of the ones we already have,” he says.
Beyond logistics, shredding also enhances separation during downstream processing.
“When the material is broken up properly, it makes it easier to extract recyclables from the waste stream via picking or other separating methods like trommels,” Paul says.
“That improves recovery rates and helps operators divert more material from landfill.”
Going green
Sustainability is at the heart of the ES-250’s design. Paul says having the option of diesel or electric versions gives operators an opportunity to balance power and environmental responsibility.
“The electric version is a game-changer,” he says.
“It’s got all the power of a hydraulic shredder, but it uses less fuel, produces lower emissions, and runs much more quietly. That makes it ideal for indoor or enclosed applications, where exhaust fumes can be a problem.”
Tutt Bryant has embraced its ‘green range’ of crushing and screening equipment, which includes hybrid and electric options, designed to help operators reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing performance.
“Our customers like that they can be more efficient and lower their production costs at the same time,” Paul says.
“If they can also reduce their emissions and improve their environmental performance, that’s a win-win. It makes them more competitive while supporting their sustainability goals.”
The McCloskey Environmental ES-250 is also equipped with advanced telematics and digital fleet management tools that bring greater transparency to operations.
“The machine’s telematics system lets operators monitor everything from fuel and electricity usage to emissions,” Paul says. “Operators can see their performance data in real time on the onboard computer, or they can log in remotely from a laptop anywhere in the world.”
This feature helps companies track their environmental performance, optimise efficiency, and produce accurate sustainability reports.
“It’s ideal for businesses that need to demonstrate compliance or report on fuel and emissions performance,” Paul says. “It’s all there, ready to be exported and analysed.”
Tutt Bryant’s service network ensures customers have access to the expertise and spare parts they need to keep operations running smoothly.
“McCloskey Environmental equipment falls under our crushing and screening division,” Paul says.
“We have a dedicated team with the experience to maintain, repair, and diagnose issues with shredders. We’ve invested heavily in stocking parts for the ES-250 to make sure customers are covered for the first few years of operation.”
With most replacement parts already in stock and delivery times as short as one week, Tutt Bryant is committed to minimising downtime.
“If someone purchases an ES-250 today, we can usually have it delivered and ready for work within a week,” Paul says.
