First Lindemann LIS scrap shear rolls off assembly line at Metso’s Ohio facility
The first Lindemann LIS scrap shear assembled in North America has been completed at Metso Minerals’ facility in Northeast Ohio. “Our new Ohio facility has allowed us to respond to our customers’ needs in a more timely manner,” said Tim Conway, Metso Recycling NAM vice president of sales and marketing, who noted also that two other LIS scrap shears are currently nearing completion, with one scheduled to be finished in December and the other in the first quarter of 2009.
The new facility, located near Metso Minerals’ existing engineering and manufacturing facility in Brunswick has a total crane capacity of 80 tons and is expected to double the fabrication capacity of the company’s Ohio operations. “With our new manufacturing and assembly process, our lead times are significantly shorter than those of our competition,” Conway said. The new LIS scrap shear is Lindemann’s solution for output requirements up to 20 tons per hour. The unit is designed for high levels of efficiency and quality and is available in stationery or semi-mobile configurations. Also, a great deal of the mechanical, hydraulic and electrical design for which Linde-mann’s EtaCut has become well known, has been incorporated into this new LIS shear.
