Recycling
Recycling today is not just a fad, but a way of life. There are very few products that we use on a daily basis that are not recycled. Carlson Tractor & Equipment has sought out products to serve many different recycling industries.
Shingle Recycling
One of our products we are very excited about is the
Peterson Pacific 4700B Asphalt Shingle Grinder. Asphalt shingles represent approximately 10 percent of the construction demolition debris that currently enters the waste stream. Liquid asphalt makes us as much as 20-30% of the content of asphalt shingles. Every day virgin liquid asphalt is procured for use in asphalt pavement. Recycling asphalt shingles into asphalt pavements mixtures reduces the use of non-renewable oil, and in some cases has been proven to increase th performance of the asphalt pavement mixture.
Filling landfills unnecessarily is an environmental issue, and wastes a valuable resource that could be recycled into a useful product. The unique design of Peterson’s Horizontal Grinders make them well suited to reduce asphalt shingles into a product that is an excellent ingredient for hot mix asphalt (HMA) Minimizing oversize material is an important factor in providing consistent, high quality asphalt. Add to this Carlson Tractor & Equipment’s first-rate product support to ensure a long productive machine life and you have an asphalt shingle grinding solution.

In order to provide a total solution for your shingle grinding operation we also offer various options of screeners to both pre and post grind screen your shingles, as well as picking stations to ensure a clean product is produced.
Peterson grinders are also well suited for recycling of all your construction debris, wood waste, compost and many other applications.
