LISBON, ME — Thompson Equipment announces a strategic distribution partnership with 3R-Machinery by Shred-Tech, introducing two manufacturers, Pronar and Screenpod, to contractors across Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
This collaboration strengthens Thompson’s equipment portfolio and helps support contractors working in recycling yards, demolition sites, quarries, and factories.
Pronar’s slow-speed, single- and dual-shaft shredders are engineered for heavy-duty material reduction across a wide range of applications. While they are effective for wood waste and construction & demolition debris, their capabilities extend beyond that. These machines can process diverse and challenging materials, from auto bodies and white goods, to reinforced concrete and wood waste — delivering consistent output across mixed and often contaminated waste streams.
Unlike high-speed shredders, Pronar’s slow-speed systems reduce the risk of material ejection and operational hazards, offering a safer and more controlled shredding process. They are designed to handle large, dense, and unpredictable loads. Pronar slow-speed shredders can work alongside high-speed grinders or shredders to reduce damage to the mill, maximize uptime, and keep operations running efficiently.
Screenpod’s dust suppression systems, including its widely adopted dust cannons, use atomized water spray to capture airborne particles. This technology helps contractors maintain safer job sites while minimizing environmental impact and community disruption, an increasingly important factor for quarry and construction operations.
