Recycling & Material Recovery

Recycling companies and processors ensure that important raw materials are returned to the material cycle in a sustainable manner. They use powerful shredders from UNTHA for the efficient pre-shredding of a wide variety of materials.

Compact design – ideal for complete systems
Insensitivity to impurities
Different grain sizes, individually adjustable

Our versatile 4-shaft shredders and high-throughput 1-shaft shredders are ideal for processing recyclable materials and for use in recycling plants. They are the ideal shredders for preparing materials for subsequent sorting and processing.

Materials

Recycling and utilization

UNTHA industrial shredders process materials such as paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, WEEE, and hard drives. The aim is to achieve optimum material breakdown so that different recyclable materials can then be separated from each other and fed into subsequent process steps.

Recyclers rely on UNTHA

Companies in the recycling and materials processing sectors, as well as numerous production facilities worldwide, rely on our industrial shredders. The aim is to return discarded recyclables to the material cycle and to directly reuse or recycle production waste.

This conserves resources, recycles raw materials, and protects the environment.
