CARS Show, June 14-16 2012
The CARS show is getting close (June 14-16) and is on target to give metal merchants and auto recyclers just what they asked for - a show dedicated to the industry. With two days of seminars and training, and 70 exhibitors covering all aspects of auto and metals recycling, that’s just what they’re getting.
Demonstration is a key element that makes CARS different - you get to see the latest equipment and find out if, and how it can improve your bottom line.
To explain what we mean, consider Overton’s Auto Dismantling System. This excavator mounted ripper is one of the show’s stars and visitors will be able to see first hand how this machine can improve the return from elv’s by almost 25% - now that has to be worth looking at. The system will be working at CARS, along with many other machines so you can actually see it for yourself. The industry just hasn’t had opportunities like this before.
Adding value is the big theme at CARS. One of the most practical ways to increase profit is to increase the return from the materials and vehicles already being processed. Just to give you the idea, here are a few examples of the equipment you’ll see at CARS.
Hammel’s Red Giant
Attractions at this year’s CARS show don’t come much bigger than Hammel’s latest tracked shredder - the Red Giant. This beast can chew its way through 60 tonnes of cars every hour or 50 tonnes of tyres. This is a multi-purpose shredder that can also be used for wood, domestic and industrial waste.
Weighing in at 44 tonnes, fitted with crawler tracks and a beefy CAT C18 diesel power unit, the fully remote
control Red Giant can discharge up to a height of 5 metres. This is one demonstration not to be missed by
anyone interested in shredding scrap metal.
Which one’s for you?
That’s the question from Eriez when it comes to their next generation of Eddy Current Separators. The new
range acknowledges that most customers’ separation needs are varied, and at CARS Eriez will display and
run samples over their RevX-E LT Eddy Current Separator which is ideal for separating large pieces of nonferrous
metal. They will also be promoting their RevX-E ST model for small non-ferrous particles and the LC model which is ideal for aluminium can separation. Also during the show, Eriez will showcase their new Shred 1 Ballistic Metal Separator which is ideally used post shredder.
Adding value is what JMC is about
JMC are a company that’s been around for a long, long time and we are all familiar with their non-ferrous
cleaning and baling equipment. What visitors may be interested to see is just how far their product range
extends. In fact, if it’s non-ferrous you’re processing, they’re more than likely to have a piece of kit for the
job.
At CARS this year they’re focussing on machinery that can add value to your product. On show will be a cable granulation system that’s aimed specifically at capitalising on vehicle wiring looms. Also, the Cat Comrade which can collect and recycle all the precious metal inside cats.
It doesn’t stop there, they also plan to demonstrate their latest engine crusher which is powerful enough to
completely break up whole engines, handling up to 5 tonnes of engines and gearboxes per hour. Well worth a
visit for all those involved with non-ferrous and auto recycling.
Busy couple of days for JCB
The show’s main sponsor, JCB will be demonstrating their impressive range of materials handlers during the
two days as they move materials and elv’s too and from the working machines. JCB are famous for their
demonstrations so these operations should be as impressive as any other part of CARS.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, but if adding value through on-site processing isn’t for you, then getting
the best price for the materials you trade should be. At CARS you have the opportunity to meet a large
number of buyers and sellers under one roof. Whether that’s buying or selling whole shells or shifting
engines, batteries and cats - CARS is a place for you to do business and get those profits up!
They say information is king; well visitors should definitely come away with plenty of that. There are
two jam packed days of training, seminars and forums where you will find out the latest developments
and techniques that will make your business run sweeter. As Dave Morgan from Pinnacle put it, “If you
leave with one new idea you will reap a real benefit”. And that’s just on increasing effectiveness through
technology. There’s everything from processing hybrids and EV’s, business development, pitfalls of
overseas trade, new material technologies, to operating in a cash free environment. Each and everyone
of these seminars includes details to help you develop your business. The full programme will be on the
website, www.cars-expo.com shortly.
Don’t forget the fun side too. CarTakeBack , the compliance specialists will be pitting us all against each
other with their very own Gand Prix circuit (I am hoping all those hours on the scalextric as a kid will pay
off) and many other stands are planning to do things that little bit different - after all, this is far more than a
trade show. Where else do you get free beer? And because we all like to relax, the Friday night is party night.
CARS is all about sharing time with like minded friends, family and colleagues and the Friday evening meal
and band, set in a casual atmosphere (ties are banned) makes a great time to get together. Don’t forget all
your food and drink is included and, there’s transport laid on to get you too and from the hotel - so you can
have that extra pint!
