en.Wedoany.com Reported - Wendt Corp. has commissioned an M6090 automobile shredder for John Zubick Ltd., a scrap metal recycler in London, Ontario, Canada, replacing a competitor's equipment and achieving improvements in capacity, efficiency, material quality, and recovery rates. The equipment supplier, headquartered in Buffalo, New York, stated that the new shredder has been integrated into John Zubick Ltd.'s existing recycling operations.

Since its startup in May 2026, John Zubick Ltd. has seen improved operational benefits when processing mixed feedstocks, including loose tin, household appliances, light iron, automotive scrap, and heavy industrial materials. The M6090 is equipped with a 2,500-horsepower drive system, utilizing variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, a Wendt/Bowe disc rotor, and modular components, including a 40-foot electrical house, control console, fluid power station, and a fluffer, all installed on a flat concrete foundation. John Zubick Ltd. reports that the plant operates four days a week, with the new system expected to process approximately 5,000 tons of material per month.

"This shredder is already processing 40 to 50 tons per hour, whereas our previous shredder handled only about 15 tons per hour," said Ben Zubick, Vice President of John Zubick Ltd. "We have seen significant improvements in throughput, material quality, and efficiency. In addition to increased capacity, material density and cleanliness have also improved." Zubick noted that he became acquainted with Wendt through industry peers and at meetings of the Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) and the Canadian Association of Recycling Industries (CARI).

"Wendt supported us with timely communication, detailed technical guidance, and hands-on assistance during installation, commissioning, and early operations," Zubick added. According to Wendt, John Zubick Ltd. expects a rapid return on investment and plans to continue expanding and optimizing its operations.

"The versatility of the M6090 made Wendt the clear choice," Zubick stated. "Its frame can accommodate various feed and downstream configurations, creating opportunities for future growth. Other factors include Wendt's support team and the ancillary equipment available to support expansion."
