Cardinal Environmental specializes in grinding, sizing, and processing recyclable materials and industrial byproducts generated by manufacturing and production facilities. Our processing capabilities focus on materials that are difficult to handle due to size, density, or contamination.
Using specialized grinding equipment with proprietary screens and configurations, Cardinal Environmental processes high-volume materials while meeting precise sizing requirements. We frequently work in partnership with recycling companies, waste processors, and waste-to-energy operators by preparing difficult or oversized materials for their downstream processing systems.
By reducing material size and improving consistency, Cardinal Environmental helps increase the usability and value of recyclable and resource recovery streams.
Wood Waste Grinding and Processing
Wood waste represents the largest portion of materials processed by Cardinal Environmental. We grind and size wood materials generated from industrial, logistics, and manufacturing operations into consistent products suitable for recycling and biomass markets.
Our processing systems are designed to handle high volumes while removing metal contamination commonly found in pallets and crating materials.
Materials Processed Include:
• Pallets
• Wood crating
• Dimensional lumber
• Scrap wood from manufacturing operations
Processing Features:
• Magnetic separation removes steel contaminants up to 3/8"
• High-volume grinding and material sizing
• Custom screening for consistent finished material.
Difficult and Oversized Recyclable Material Processing
Cardinal Environmental specializes in processing oversized or difficult recyclable materials that standard grinding systems cannot efficiently handle. Through specialized equipment and proprietary processing techniques, we reduce challenging materials into manageable sizes for recycling or further downstream processing.
We frequently support recycling operators and processors by handling materials that require specialized equipment or engineering solutions.
Materials Processed Include:
• Oversized paper rolls
• Paper cores
• Cardboard and packaging materials
• Off-spec recycled products
• Organic media such as peat and humus
Problem Industrial Waste Processing
Cardinal Environmental assists manufacturers and processing facilities by grinding and reducing industrial waste streams that contain contaminants or materials that standard equipment cannot process effectively.
Our specialized grinders can handle difficult waste streams that require robust size reduction before they can enter recycling, resource recovery, or energy recovery processes.
By preparing these materials for downstream processing, Cardinal Environmental helps facilities divert waste from traditional disposal and improve the efficiency of recovery operations.
Materials May Include:
• Contaminated plant trash and production waste
• Mixed industrial by-products
• Non-hazardous manufacturing scrap
• Difficult or oversized materials unsuitable for standard processing equipment
Equipment:
- Precision Grinders
- Screener Units
- Custom Conveyors
