High-Volume Material Shredding

an image of a Arjes Compaktor 300 - available to hire from Talbot Plant Hire

What It Shreds

Green Waste & Timber

  • Branches, timber sections, and root balls up to 300mm diameter
  • Tree surgery waste and site clearance materials
  • Logs, stumps, and mixed forestry waste

Commercial & Industrial Materials

  • Wood pallets and packaging waste
  • Rubber, tires, and conveyor belts
  • Cardboard and mixed recyclables
  • Construction timber and formwork

Key Shredding Benefits:

Reduce Waste Volume by 80-90%
Transform bulky materials into manageable wood chip or processed output, dramatically cutting skip hire and transport costs.

Variable Throughput Rates
Process 6-100 tonnes per hour depending on material type and output requirements. Adjustable side combs and predefined programs let you tailor shredding to your specific needs.

On-Site Processing Cuts Costs
Eliminate multiple transport trips and reduce disposal fees by processing waste where it's generated. Shredded timber can be reused as mulch, animal bedding, or biomass fuel.

All-Terrain Mobility
Crawler track system ensures the Kompaktor 300 operates effectively on soft ground, rough terrain, and restricted access sites where traditional equipment can't reach.

Ideal For;

  • Site Clearance Contractors
  • Tree surgeons and arborists
  • Waste management companies
  • Recycling operations
  • Timber processsors
  • Estate & ground maintenance

Heavy-Duty Material Crushing

What It Crushes

Concrete & Masonry

  • Reinforced and unreinforced concrete
  • Concrete blocks and bricks
  • Foundation and slab material
  • Precast concrete elements

Hard Construction Waste

  • Tarmac and asphalt
  • Demolition rubble and mixed hardcore
  • Stone and aggregate materials
  • Inert construction debris

Key Crushing Benefits:

Crush Material for Reuse or Disposal
Convert demolition waste into usable aggregate for backfill, capping, or sub-base applications — turning a disposal cost into a valuable resource.

Eliminate Skip Hire & Transport
Process concrete and rubble on-site instead of paying for removal. Crushed material can often be reused within the same project, cutting both disposal and material costs.

High-Capacity Processing
Handle up to 100 tonnes per hour of hard materials with consistent output sizing. The powerful 220 HP engine and robust crushing mechanism tackle even heavily reinforced concrete.

Integrated Metal Separation
Overbelt magnet automatically removes ferrous metals from crushed output, producing cleaner aggregate and recovering valuable scrap steel for recycling.

Ideal For;

  • Demolition contractors
  • Groundworks and civil engineering
  • Site remediation projects
  • Road construction and surfacing
  • Concrete recycling operations
  • Large-scale construction projects

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Material shredding is designed for softer organic materials like timber, branches, green waste, rubber, and cardboard. The shredding process uses rotating blades to cut and tear materials into smaller pieces, typically producing wood chip or mulch-sized output. Material crushing is for hard inert materials like concrete, brick, tarmac, and demolition rubble. The crushing mechanism uses compression force to break down solid materials into aggregate suitable for reuse as sub-base or backfill. The ARJES Kompaktor 300 can switch between both applications using its quick-change shaft system.
Yes, the Kompaktor 300 is specifically designed to crush reinforced concrete. The integrated overbelt magnet automatically separates ferrous metals (rebar, mesh, fixings) from the crushed output, producing clean aggregate while recovering valuable scrap steel. The powerful 220 HP Volvo Penta engine and robust crushing mechanism handle even heavily reinforced concrete sections effectively.
Hire costs depend on the duration (daily, weekly, or monthly rates) and your specific requirements. We offer competitive rates that typically deliver significant savings compared to skip hire and off-site processing costs. The machine's ability to reduce waste volume by up to 90% means most clients see immediate cost benefits. Contact us on 045 850 957 or 087 255 8774 for a tailored quote based on your project needs.
Yes, we provide nationwide delivery and collection across Ireland. The ARJES Kompaktor 300 is transported on a hook lift system for fast, efficient delivery to your site. Delivery is included in all hire rates, and we'll work around your project schedule to ensure the machine arrives when you need it and is collected when you're finished.
Full operator training is included with every hire. Our team provides a comprehensive safety briefing and hands-on training covering both shredding and crushing operations, material loading techniques, output size adjustment, and basic maintenance checks. Most operators are confident after a 2-3 hour training session. We also provide ongoing technical support throughout your hire period if you have any questions.
The ARJES Kompaktor 300 can process timber and branches up to 300mm diameter, including awkward shapes like root balls and Y-shaped branches. For best results and maximum throughput, we recommend pre-sorting material and removing soil or stones. The machine handles logs, stumps, pallets, formwork timber, and mixed green waste with ease.
The Kompaktor 300 requires approximately 10m x 8m of operational space including material stockpile area and processed output area. The machine itself measures 8.5m long x 2.45m wide, so it fits through standard site access gates. The crawler track system means it can operate effectively on soft ground, slopes, and restricted access sites where wheeled equipment would struggle.
In most cases, yes. Crushed concrete meets specification for Type 1 and Type 2 sub-base, capping layers, and general backfill applications. On-site crushing and reuse significantly reduces both disposal costs and imported material costs. We recommend discussing your specific application with your project engineer to ensure the crushed material meets required specifications, particularly for structural or load-bearing applications.
Yes, Talbot Plant Hire operates under waste collection permit NWCPO-16-11794, ensuring all operations meet Irish EPA standards and European Waste Catalogue (EWC) guidelines. We provide full waste transfer documentation with every collection, giving you complete audit trails for regulatory compliance. All processed material is handled in accordance with Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste management requirements.
For urgent requirements like storm damage cleanup or unexpected project delays, we typically respond within 2-4 hours during working hours (Monday-Friday 8am-6pm, Saturday 8am-1pm). Same-day or next-day delivery is available subject to machine availability and location. For emergency callouts, call us directly on 087 255 8774 for immediate assistance.
