The Micromat Plus series of single-shaft shredders for recycling plastic waste is available in three sizes, and are systematically designed with low energy consumption and high productivity in mind. Three different drive concepts accommodate specific application needs, and the available range of square-blade or point-blade rotors can be fitted with various blade sizes. Easily accessible and replaceable screens with 10 to 300 mm holes make for even greater versatility, and a newly developed internal force feeder can be individually adapted to a given application. Plus, an increased filling capacity ensures a constantly high material flow.
Production waste, with various material characteristics, including hard plastics, filaments or films – can be shredded just as optimally as post-consumer plastics such as PET bottles, agricultural film or carpet. Plus, the patented maintenance door on these units makes blade and counter-blade changes, as well as troubleshooting, simple.
Andreas Schwarz, President of Lindner America LLC comments: “Since inception, more than 500 Micromats have found their way into diverse industry applications where they have been setting new standards for longevity, reliability and product quality. And with their ruggedness, precision and efficiency, they help reduce plastic recycling costs, thus benefiting the user’s bottom line.”
Various units are available with rotational speeds between 80 and 300 rpm, to match varying feedstocks. All Micromat Plus single-shaft shredders also feature a newly developed, large inspection and maintenance door which opens inwardly by hydraulic action, providing convenient access to the rotor and counter-blades.
Another patented innovation is the redesigned screen area with its elastically pre-stressed and clamped screen modules. The screen basket can be opened hydraulically, and maintenance or module replacements can be performed easily by hand. All machines are equipped with a new PLC control system from which a variety of programmes can be activated, and a touch-screen visualisation system is optional.
