UNTHA shredding technology GmbH has launched a new generation of single-shaft shredders at the LIGNA trade show.
Austria-based shredding system developer, UNTHA shredding technology GmbH has launched a new generation of single-shaft shredders at the LIGNA trade show in Hannover, Germany.
Specialised in developing and producing customised shredding systems, the two high-performance QR1700 and QR2100 shredders have been specially developed for pallet manufacturers and the woodworking and processing industry with a throughput of up to 30 loose cubic meters per hour, representing a new class of single-shaft shredders. The QR models cover a drive power range from 55 to 180 kW and cutting unit widths of 1700 and 2100 mm.
Intensive collaboration with our customers throughout the entire innovation process was a key factor in the success of this project. All the technical features are based entirely on the wishes and needs of experienced users and thus offer real added value, said Stefan Pischon, Head of R&D at UNTHA.
According to Pischon, these features include a robust, universal cutting unit and “indestructible” body, maintenance-free pusher technology and a resilient drive system that comes with a safety coupling. Unlike conventional units, the QR class does not require a shaft stub, as the gear is integrated into the rotor significantly reducing the risk costly repairs.
