Electronic waste recycling: double throughput with RS100

Sunnking Sustainable Solutions, based in New York, relies on the RS100 4-shaft shredder from UNTHA. The company uses it to shred large quantities of electronic waste (WEEE) for recycling. The shredder's throughput, quality of the output material, and reliability were the main factors that won them over.

The problem
Initial situation

To increase its recycling capacity, the company was looking for a robust shredder with a high throughput rate that could quickly and efficiently produce a homogeneous output material and was particularly suitable for shredding electronic scrap. It also needed to be possible to adjust the speed and torque for optimization.

REQUIREMENTS

  • High throughput

  • Good material breakdown

  • Optimal material feed

  • Various program settings

  • Low maintenance

The solution
Why opt for an UNTHA shredder?

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.

We needed a shredder that could handle our growing volume without compromising quality or efficiency. The UNTHA RS100 has exceeded our expectations, delivering exceptional throughput, reliability, and ease of maintenance. This investment has been a game-changer for our operations.
