UNTHA’s new shredder creating waves in UK NEW PRODUCTS
UNTHA’S newest engineering development, the X-Cutter (XC) system has started to take Europe by storm, with 10 units of sales recorded in less than six months. The XC system for the XR waste (XR-XC) shredder was fi rst revealed at the IFAT event in Munich in May 2018 and after a European ‘trial’ roadshow of the shredder, machines have now been sold to waste fi rms in the UK market. The new shredder can produce a homogeneous 30mm of solid recovered fuel (SRF) for cement production or refi ned refuse derived fuel (RDF) for waste-to-energy systems that require a homogeneous feed material. Capable of achieving throughputs of up to 40 tonnes per hour – whether on the static or mobile XR-XC – this innovative cutter can run with a slow rotor speed of either 65rpm for complex waste streams, or 85rpm for cleaner input materials. With equivalent machinery often operating at far higher speeds of up to 250-350rpm, UNTHA is therefore striving for the lowest wear, most robust safety standards, and greatest energy- effi ciency on the market. Designed to achieve the next level of performance for single-step SRF shredding – or provide a direct replacement to existing high-

speed shredders – it can process varied input wastes ranging from waste wood through to pulper ropes. Peter Streinik, head of UNTHA’s Global Waste Shredding Division, said: “This XR-XC is fast-becoming a popular replacement for the industry’s existing high-speed waste shredders.
“It is challenging the norm and making operators think diff erently about how to process waste into an energy source.
“For example, the slower speed reduces noise levels which heightens operator
wellbeing, which is crucial for organisations’ duty of care. “It also means cutters have a longer lifespan which lowers the whole life running cost of the machine, without jeopardising performance. The fl exibility to handle extremely varied and complex input materials addresses the increasing challenge that clients are facing – they need future-proofed technology that can evolve alongside market conditions.” The stylish and innovative design is able to deal with large ‘unshreddable’ items without requiring the excessive downtime that operators face with the major repairs needed on high-speed technology.
