Installation & Operation

What do I Need to do to install this system on my yard?

3TEK includes in your purchase price the reassembly on your yard of the system purchased.

Factory Certified crew will reassemble
- The Bravo shredder in typically 2-3 days
- The Mobile DS in 1-2 days
- Total System = 5 days

Factory Training Included: Once the complete system is reassembled 3TEK Factory instructors will conduct operation and maintenance training to your operating staff.

Track Mounted = Low Ground Pressure
- All three machines are track mounted and spread their heavy weight over this track area
- Bravo weighs 322,000 lbs. but has a 26 PSI because of the CAT 345 track undercarriage
Best Option: YES, add concrete
- Under the Shredder and Mobile DS
- Enables easier clean up
Better Option: Add some concrete
- Under the Bravo Shredder only
Good Option:
- Any compacted level gravel surface can work.
- Alternative: Get shredding and pour concrete later.

Tough question but most likely yes. All states and municipalities are different.
Regulations and interpretations of the regulations keep changing.
We recommend contacting your local environmental consultant here and seek their services.

This is a matter of interpretation and depends largely on the composition of the in-flowing scrap
A Water injection system is provided as standard equipment whose purpose is to knock down dust and smoke

Most customers are surprised as to how quiet the machine is/are.
Most customers say the material handlers loading the Bravo system is louder than the shredding system.
Certainly, noise is contingent on the inflowing scrap mixture:
- For example: cast ferrous is very loud by itself.
- If you mix the scrap with mixed metals this quiets it down
The noise is not symmetrical and varies depending where you are in the perimeter.
- Sound study: We have a certified sound study that we can share.

Material Handler to load the shredder
- Recommended with an orange peel grapple that turns
- Loading height: 20’ so long enough boom
- Elevated cab is a bonus
Wheel Loader:
- For taking processed metal away from the system
Skid Steer loader: Clean up and secondary material mover

Do I need a dedicated shredder operator?
- NO. The Material Handler Operator can load AND operate the shredder controls. It’s that easy!
