UNTHA Debuts Alternate Version of the RS40 Shredder

“What we have tried to do is anticipate what a system builder wouldn’t need and delete it from the standard machine. But it is much more than that,” says Peter Dion, regional sales manager. He says UNTHA has added a special “H” frame on the underside of the unit to accommodate the screen’s quick change system. It is long enough to enable the builder to attach legs, an autoclave or other structure beneath the shredder to accommodate a conveyor or provide clearance for a variety of containers. The rails also extend under the electric motors, which allows for additional distance between vertical beams if necessary.

“There is also a standard flange under the screen, which makes interfacing with a chute or pneumatic conveyor much easier than with our previous versions,” says Charles Hildebrand, regional sales manager. “Controls are also an option, and we can provide information and assistance to the builder to use either our standard box or provide the interface necessary to operate the machine from another control source.”

The RS30 and 40 Series shredders were completely redesigned in 2010 and offer a variety of standard features, such as two-piece mechanical seals, wear plates, a central lubrication system for the front bearings and gearbox oil level monitoring, UNTHA says. They are suited for wet or dry applications such as medical waste processing, e-scrap recycling, wood and plastics.

UNTHA America is a wholly owned subsidiary of UNTHA shredding technology GmbH of Salzburg, Austria, with more than 8,000 machines in daily operation around the globe.
