REI-ZR Guillotine Roll Shear Installation Designed for Maximum Safety

Team looking over their new equipment

We recently completed the installation of another REI-ZR SC Roll Shear, engineered and configured to help our customer dramatically improve downstream efficiency and production flow.

This installation included a set of safety screens built specifically for the customer’s layout, ensuring operators stay protected while maintaining full visibility and unrestricted access to their workflow.

A Tailored Recycling System Built Around the Customer’s Workflow

No two facilities operate the same way, and this recent project is a perfect example of how REI designs every system around real-world operating environments.

The newly installed REI-ZR SC shear is positioned to optimize roll feeding, reduce material handling time, and support continuous downstream processing. Its heavy-duty frame, precision cutting assembly, and engineered hydraulic powertrain give the customer the reliability and throughput needed in a high-volume recycling operation.

The highlight of this installation is the custom safety enclosure system, built to exceed safety requirements without impacting workflow.

The screens were designed to:

  • Protect operators from active shear zones
  • Maintain clear sightlines for monitoring production
  • Allow quick access for maintenance and cleaning
  • Integrate seamlessly with the customer’s existing floor layout

The result is a safer, more efficient processing line that helps the customer move material, reduce downtime, and operate with the confidence their team will be working in a safe environment around the equipment.

Engineered, Installed & Supported by REI

As with every REI system, our installation team handled all mechanical placement, hydraulic connections, electrical integration, and final testing. Before hand-off, we walked the team through full operational training, safety procedures, and routine maintenance practices so they can run at peak performance from day one.

From offloading to startup, every detail was engineered for long-term reliability.

At REI, we don’t just sell equipment, we deliver complete solutions that work, and another satisfied customer is ready to maximize throughput for years to come.

If you’re planning a new material-processing line or looking to improve safety and throughput, our team is here to help.
