Lindner Unveils Super-Vega Shredder

Lindner reSource GmbH, Grossbottwar, Germany, says it has further developed its single-shaft shredders from the “Vega” series to take on additional applications, offer high throughput capacities and deliver optimal energy efficiency when shredding plastics.

The company’s newly-developed Super-Vega model can reduce plastics scrap to pellets of 10 to 15 millimeters (.4 to .6 inches) in a mid-rotational speed range of up to 250 rpm, says the company. Those specifications, which formerly could only be reached with conventional cutting mills, can now be reached “without having to forego the benefits of the classic single-shaft shredder, such as large feeding hoppers, start-up under load und low costs for wear and tear,” according to Lindner.

The Super-Vega is well-suited for shredding of materials considered difficult for recycling lines, such as big bags, filaments, films and foils, says Lindner in a news release.

The square-blade rotor used in the Vega series brings with it improvements in energy efficiency when reducing rigid and hard plastics, according to Lindner.

Lindner reSource GmbH is a member of the Austria-based Lindner Group, providers of shredding technology for several industrial applications. The company’s plastics and recycling product line is handled by Lindner reSource GmbH of Grossbottwar, Germany.

More information on the company’s products can be found on its newly-designed Web site at www.lindner-resource.com. The company says information is available in German, English and Polish.
