The S25 is UNTHA's smallest shredder – a compact 2-shaft shredder for reducing the volume of materials such as metal, plastic, biological waste, paper and cardboard. ÖBB-Technische Services GmbH uses this shredder to shred steel swarf measuring max. 500 x 30 x 1 mm, which comes from a lathe. The swarf is fed into the shredder's cutting chamber via a discharge chute. The material is automatically drawn in by the cutting unit, which means that the shredder does not require a feeding system. The cutting principle of the UNTHA rotor scissors ensures that the material is shredded efficiently. The S25 is driven by an electronic direct drive. If foreign objects enter the cutting chamber, the motor is automatically stopped to prevent damage. Thanks to the slow-speed drive, the shredder is particularly energy-efficient and produces only low dust and noise emissions. The volume of the original material is reduced by up to 90%, which means it can be stored and transported in a space-saving manner. The UNTHA S25 was integrated into the existing control system to ensure synchronised operation with the lathe and discharge conveyor.
