Customized System Solutions from UNTHA
UNTHA system solutions are designed for waste management companies and recyclers dealing with varying material streams while meeting increasingly strict quality standards. Materials such as waste wood, cables, composite materials and mixed waste can be processed in a single, integrated line. The UNTHA team takes care of planning the entire system solution and integrating all components: shredders, discharge and conveyor belts, separation and sorting technology, fire protection systems and much more.
High-quality output, operational flexibility, and predictable operating costs are among the key benefits of UNTHA system solutions. The complete solution is individually tailored to the customer’s requirements, with all components optimally coordinated. In addition to the machinery, this also includes steel constructions, service access points and comprehensive fire protection measures.
Flexible, single-stage processing lines
UNTHA, an Austrian manufacturer of premium shredding technology, is recognized worldwide for its innovative solutions. Integrating these technologies into holistic system solutions is a logical next step. UNTHA handles all project phases: from planning and manufacturing through to delivery and installation, right up to commissioning and staff training. Regulatory requirements, approval procedures and environmental regulations are addressed early in the process to ensure a smooth and efficient project execution.
“We offer prospective clients a free engineering consultation, during which we discuss all requirements in detail and analyze material flows and on-site conditions. Based on this, we draft an initial concept for the system solution and also provide a cost-benefit analysis”, explains Markus Fraubaum, Customer Solution Engineer at UNTHA.
Customer benefits:
- Everything from a single source: A single point of contact for electrical systems, control systems, steel construction, conveyor technology, installation and service.
- Single-line solution: Replaces multiple processing lines, lowering capital expenditure (CapEx), operating costs (OpEx), maintenance requirements, and labor needs. High productivity: Up to 40 t/h throughput with a homogeneous particle size and single-fraction output.
- Maximum flexibility: Quick screen changes for custom particle sizing, high throughput, low maintenance, and the ability to process a wide range of materials. System-optimized: Electrically driven shredders, in stationary or semi-mobile versions, ensure low dust and noise emissions and facilitate regulatory approvals.
- LOCAL compliance: Compliance with regionalized standards and certification requirements.
System solution fpr waste wood processing in Germany
“At our heating plant in Dingolfing, we utilize packaging waste wood (waste wood of classes A1 and A2) from the BMW Group plant to generate process energy. This is fed back into the plant and used there to heat the production facilities. This creates an efficient cycle in which waste materials are utilized sustainably,” says Robert Heider, Managing Director of UP Energiewerke and Stadtwerke Dingolfing, regarding the UNTHA system solution.
Large quantities of waste wood are generated daily at the BMW Group plant in Dingolfing. UP Energiewerke GmbH was seeking a high-performance and reliable solution for its utilization. eta Energieberatung GmbH took charge of the conceptual design and technical consultancy and ultimately recommended UNTHA as the general contractor.
“UNTHA took on the planning of this turnkey complete solution for us. All components were perfectly adapted to our requirements and optimally coordinated with one another. The collaboration was very positive and characterized by flexibility and professionalism. We can wholeheartedly recommend UNTHA.” − Stefan Hoppe, Head of District Heating and Operations Manager at the Industriestraße Heating Plant.
At the core of the system is an XR2000 shredder with an RC cutting system, designed for efficient and reliable waste wood processing, even in the presence of contaminants such as nails, screws, and staples. Combined with a 70 mm perforated screen, approximately 6–7 tonnes per hour are shredded into a fraction suitable for thermal recycling (P63). Following shredding, automatic metal separation takes place via a magnetic separator, and the material is then transported via enclosed conveyor belts to the outdoor storage area. There, the material is temporarily stored in bunkers and metered into the waste wood boiler.
To reduce dust emissions, the shredder’s hopper has been equipped with a water spray system. An automatic fire protection system detects sparks and heat build-up and activates suppression as needed. A pre-assembled control container with integrated controls and cooling systems further reduces on-site installation time and complexity.
