Recycling and demolition
Increasing product lifespan with M. Torre
Scrap containers must endure rough handling – especially in the recycling industry where different kinds of material can wear out, hit and deform the body. M. Torre, a Spanish manufacturer of Hardox® In My Body tipper bodies for the recycling industry, offers products with market-leading lifespan, built from Hardox® 500 Tuf.
Payloads levelled up
“The Hardox® In My Body sign on our tipper bodies is proof for our customers that the product is made from premium steel, with first-class manufacturing methods. Our products have remarkable impact strength, which makes it possible to reduce thickness, resulting in weight reduction and payload increase.” David Torre, M. Torre’s second-generation owner
Tried and tested
M. Torre carried out a series of wear tests comparing the durability of its previous scrap container made from Hardox® 450 and the new one that uses Hardox® 500 Tuf. The results speak for themselves. “We estimate that the lifespan can be increased by 25 to 30%. There’s also an environmental benefit for users because the scrap container is very light and therefore contributes to lower fuel consumption.”
