UNTHA takes XR mobil-e on demonstration roadshow in Europe

Austria-based UNTHA says its new XR mobil-e and static shredders feature “two pioneering cutting concepts, high throughputs, energy efficiency, application flexibility and low operating costs.” The XR can produce a high-quality solid recovered fuel (SRF) in a single pass, with double the output per tonnage of competing machines, according to the company, which is why it will be featured in a number of waste-to-energy projects worldwide.

To date, the shredder has been sold to multiple sites in the U.K., Germany, Austria and France, plus to sites in Ireland, Finland, Poland, Turkey, Portugal, Bulgaria, Mexico, the USA, South Korea and Vietnam, UNTHA says.

In these projects the XR is processing municipal solid waste (MSW), commercial and industrial waste, production waste, bulky waste and pulper ropes, to name just a few applications. In some instances, the technology acts as a preshredder, whereas on other sites it provides a single-step shredding solution for SRF production.

Commenting on the success of the machine to date, the head of UNTHA's waste division Peter Streinik says, “We knew the XR had the potential to change the way operators process waste and produce alternative fuels. It’s quieter, more environmentally sound, easier to maintain and cheaper to run than its counterparts in the market. It’s safe to say the team is delighted by the global impact it is has had in only a short space of time.”

The mobile version of this shredder, the XR mobil-e,  is currently on a demonstration roadshow throughout Europe. To arrange to see the machine in operation under real conditions, call 0043 624 470 160 or email info@untha.com.
