MachTech to market Polaris 2200 and 2800 shredders

MachTech Services is marketing the Polaris shredder range to the UK market to be used in the production of refuse derived fuel (RDF).

The Polaris 2200 and 2800 shredders are manufactured by Lindner-Recyclingtech and have been optimised for the shredding of household, industrial and commercial waste.

According to MachTech, as the shredders run at a low speed and with high torque, their knives cut input material with enormous power.

The Type 2200, with a feed opening of 4090 x 3000 mm and a rotor length of 2115 mm, shreds up to 22 tonnes of commercial and industrial waste per hour. The Polaris 2800, with a feed opening of 4779 x 2370 mm and a rotor length of 2805 mm, achieves a volume of up to 32 tonnes per hour.

RDF

Stefan Scheiflinger, product manager at Lindner Recyclingtech, says: “When processing waste into RDF, high throughput and low shredding costs per ton are even more important than in other industrial processes. This applies especially to the processing of refuse-derived fuels for use in a calciner. At the same time, the system must be able to shred untreated and in some cases bulky waste in a single process step to grain sizes of 80 mm and less.

“This makes particularly high demands on the design of the shredder deployed for this job. With the new Polaris, we comply precisely with these demands. It is proving in practice to be an energy-efficient system that functions reliably and, if necessary, is easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance work and thus enables consistently high productivity.”

Lindner-Recyclingtech has also announced the award of two prizes at the recent Global CemFuels Awards 2017, which were presented on 2 February during the 11th Global CemFuels Conference and Exhibition in Barcelona. The company won the “Most Innovative Technology for Alternative Fuels” award and was recognised in the ‘Alternative Fuels Supplier of the Year’ category for its work with Dutch company N+P International BV, which uses a Polaris single-shaft shredder.
