It can also handle high volumes of municipal solid waste, wood pallets, as well as industrial and commercial waste.

The company assured that the standard variant of the machinery would remain available alongside the newly introduced high-capacity version. This move is part of their strategy to expand their portfolio and cater to a broader range of customer needs.
