Flexible waste shredder for all kinds of waste streams
The XR class is a high-performance solid waste shredder for the size reduction of different waste streams like C&I waste, MSW, bulky waste, pulper ropes, rolled goods, carpets or wood waste. The slow speed shredder is often used as a pre-shredder / primary shredder in a comprehensive system or simply as a single-pass shredding concept to produce alternative fuels. The robust design enables even untreated material containing unshreddable items to be processed in one pass. These items can be removed quickly and easily using the impurity removal system, which keeps downtime to a minimum.
Customized slow speed shredding solutions: MSW shredder, C&I shredder or waste shredder for different material
To fulfill your individual requirements, the XR class is available with a ripper, cutter or X-cutter system. The combination with our patented XR screen bars or different-size screen systems makes a fraction size from 400 to 30 mm possible. The final throughput will depend on the type of material and the screen diameter and ranges from 10 t/h to 70 t/h.
The high torque and the machine’s perfectly aligned cutting system enable the material to be fed directly into the machine without pre-shredding. A load-dependent speed control ensures a constant throughput rate.
Throughput rates you can expect by single-pass processing of different materials:
- Commercial and industrial (C&I) waste: 25 t/h < 80 mm
- Municipal solid waste (MSW): 70 t/h < 300 mm
- Bulky waste: 30 t/h < 300 mm
- Waste wood: 45 t/h < 100 mm
Low operating costs
Minimal operating costs paired with maximum performance make this waste shredder a strong partner that stands out for its forward-thinking technology, such as the UNTHA Eco Drive concept that lowers energy consumption by 75% compared to standard electro-hydraulic drive options.
State-of-the-art synchronous motors achieve maximum efficiency, making the UNTHA Eco Drive one of the most energy-efficient drive systems on the market. In addition, maintenance costs may be reduced to a minimum as the unit is free from pulleys, hydraulic pumps and shaft stubs. Where higher throughputs – and therefore also higher rotor speeds – are required, there is the option of integrating a safety coupling that will separate the rotor from the drive if a foreign object is detected.
All rotors are wear-protected thanks to welded Hardox plates, making them particularly resistant against abrasive materials. Our experienced project engineers are at your disposal to assist with the planning and implementation of your project.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Robust shredder with high degree of resistance to unshreddable items
- Effective removal system for unshreddable items
- Homogeneous, defined fraction size through screen bars or a perforated screen
- Slow speed shredder
- Low noise and dust emission (noise level < 80 dBA)
- Low energy costs due to UNTHA Eco Drive
- Easy to service and maintain

Accessories
Adjustable main cutting bar
The adjustable main cutting bar offers you the option to adjust the cutting opening. The shredder can be optimally adjusted for the material to be shredded and the required discharge fraction.
This option is only available for the "cutter system"..
Fire protection system
We don't let anything burn. In terms of fire protection, we rely on the expertise of leading providers of fire-extinguishing systems.
Service platform
A service platform provides you with an easy, secure and ergonomic access to the machine in the event of servicing or maintenance.
Control cabinet room
We recommend that our customers use a control room to protect the electric control. Thanks to the positive pressure, the electric control cabinet and the frequency transformer are protected against dirt and dust, which increases their service life and minimizes their vulnerability.
Hopper
We offer different hopper shapes that are exactly adapted to your infeed type. Regardless of whether you need a hopper for a wheel bearing infeed or a hopper with a grabber infeed – we will always have a suitable solution available.
Overbelt magnets
In terms of separating metallic iron-containing parts from the shredded material we collaborate with leading manufacturers in the separation technology field. The overbelt magnet is installed above the discharge conveyor belt and reliably separates the iron-containing parts from the output material.
Conveyor technology
We offer suitable infeed, discharge and incline conveyor belts for our shredding machines, thereby ensuring smooth material transport.
