Volume reduction

Volume reduction is a critical first step for companies looking to control waste handling costs. By reducing bulky materials upfront, businesses can lower transportation expenses, minimize landfill fees, and free up valuable floor space. Rough pre-shredding breaks down oversized waste into manageable material, making it easier to store, transport, and feed into downstream processing equipment.

Input Materials

01/05

Commercial & industrial waste

Commercial and industrial waste is collected separately according to the respective components before being processed and reintroduced into the raw material cycle (recycling), or recovered for thermal recycling or for energetic utilisation (substitute fuels). UNTHA provides particularly efficient and flexible shredding machines for the 1-phase or 2-phase processing of commercial and industrial waste.

Commercial & industrial Waste

Typical Challenges

High costs for storage, transportation, and disposal

Inconsistent and mixed material streams

Equipment wear, maintenance, and unplanned downtime

High energy consumption

Suitable Shredding Solutions

Single-shaft shredders

The PS1300 is a highly efficient pallet shredder designed to process pallets, as well as other waste wood and cardboard materials.

The LR1000 and LR1400 are well suited for recycling moderate volumes of waste wood, delivering dependable performance in everyday operations.

The XR series models are high-throughput, energy-efficient single-shaft shredders. When equipped with the RC cutting system, they provide rapid and consistent volume reduction for demanding applications.
