Where Thor rules, thunder and lightning are not far away. Small wonder, then, that Spanish recycling specialist ZB Group took the name of the Nordic deity as a guide for the world's largest mobile hammer mill shredder. The Thor 2121 K, for example, pulverizes small cars in no time at all. It is powered either by an mtu 12V 4000 C15 or a 12V 4000 C35 engine.
Helping protect the environment
In the recycling business, a hammer mill is used mainly in situations requiring a very broad mix of materials to be crushed. Magnetic, optical and compression processes then separate the materials out and feed them back selectively into the re-use cycle. The engines used in the Thor 2121 K also score points when it comes to environmental protection, as they comply with the requirements of the Tier Four final (T4f) emissions regulation of the US Environmental Protection Agency.
