GSH Skips are also at the forefront of the latest development by Austrian shredder manufacturer Lindner Recyclingtech and UK partners MachTech Services Ltd, The Lindner Merak 2800, the first to reach the UK was originally planned for a week-long trial on Merseyside, but before the trial was even halfway over GSH Skips had made the decision to purchase the machine. A Spokesperson for GSH Skips stated ‘We’ve operated other machinery from Lindner, we have a Lindner Polaris in operation at the moment, the build quality of the equipment and the back up from MachTech Services is second to none, so once we’d seen this beast in action, on various screen sizes and on differing waste streams we knew it would immediately improve our productivity and versatility.’
The Merak is the new star of Lindner’s product family, setting new standards in versatility, productivity and throughput. The innovative cutting system enables the shredder to be used for everything from coarse pre-shredding to universal and post-shredding, achieving particle sizes that range from 30 to 350 mm. Thanks to the sophisticated electric drive concept with three transmission ratios (55, 87 and 103 rpm), the rotor speed can be adapted to the input material, which means that shredding is always carried out at the optimum operating point, achieving even greater efficiency.
The powerful single-shaft shredder impresses with its robust design and added mobility. 100% electric, the innovative drive concept with three different cutting units and the ideal adjustment of the rotor speed to the specific material requirements ensures maximum efficiency and productivity. Moreover, the internal pusher supports continuous throughput. The wet-running safety clutch protects against damage to the cutting and drive components in the event of blockages caused by contaminants, which are easily removed using the door that opens inwards. In addition, the self-sufficient auxiliary unit allows the shredder to be moved flexibly and all hydraulic functions to be operated independently of the electric power supply, e.g. for maintenance purposes.
The Merak universal cutting system was developed for primary shredding as well as for one-step processing of a wide variety of material streams to a defined output size. The closely arranged rows of knives in combination with adjustable speeds ensure high throughput, efficiency, and capacity to shred diverse materials and allow for different applications, in each case depending on the requirements and screen diameter. Both the knives and the knife holders are screwable, so that the individual components can be replaced quickly and easily if necessary.
The Merak secondary shredding cutting system is specially designed for small output sizes from 30 to 120 mm. Depending on the application and screen size, this cutting unit is ideal for the secondary shredding of waste wood or the processing of industrial and commercial waste into medium-calorific substitute fuel and to fuel calciners.
Thanks to its electric drive, the Merak drive system offers maximum energy efficiency. The proven combination of V-belt drive and ABB asynchronous motor also guarantees exceptional reliability.
Whether primary, universal, or secondary shredding - the Lindner modular system with its different drive and cutting units combines a wide range of applications with an unrivalled variety of materials - always at the optimum operating point. Equipped with a torque-controlled safety clutch, downtimes are minimised, protecting both the cutting unit and drive components. The optionally available
automatic belt tensioning system (ATB) also makes sure that the power is optimally always transmitted.
