Terex Ecotec TBG 630E Boosts Rogaland Gjenvinning’s Output 3× and Cuts CO₂

Rogaland Gjenvinning, a waste and recycling company based in Sandnes, Norway, has tripled its wood processing capacity while reducing its diesel consumption and CO₂ emissions following the installation of a Terex Ecotec TBG 630E Electric High Speed Shredder.

Since commissioning the TBG 630E, the company reports a 300% increase in processing capacity compared to its previous diesel-powered model. As well as this threefold increase in output, the TBG 630E has also reduced bottlenecks and enabled faster, more reliable handling of approximately 25,000 tonnes of wood annually.

The transition to electric power has also delivered substantial environmental benefits. By eliminating the need for over 7,000 litres of diesel each month, Rogaland Gjenvinning is now saving an estimated 18.8 tonnes of CO₂ emissions monthly, equivalent to more than 225 tonnes annually. These savings directly support the company’s mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable waste management.

“The TBG 630E has transformed our operations. We’ve not only tripled our capacity but also significantly reduced our carbon footprint and maintenance workload. These improvements allow us to serve our customers faster and more reliably, while aligning with the values of an increasingly environmentally conscious client base. It’s a win-win for our business, our customers, and the planet.”

Commented Kjetil Friestad, CEO of Rogaland Gjenvinning.

Designed for medium to large-scale biomass and green-waste operations, the TBG 630E pairs two 200 kW electric motors with a swinging-hammer rotor. An additional 90 kW motor drives the hydraulics for the open-front feeder and discharge conveyors. The setup targets high throughput and consistent particle size; an automated screen-opening function ejects metal contaminants to help protect the rotor and screens.

The layout prioritises service access, with perimeter walkways, wider openings and quicker screen swaps aimed at shortening routine stops. Terex Ecotec says the changes have reduced unplanned downtime at the customer site, supporting faster payback and a clearer productivity gain under day-to-day operating conditions.
