Lindner reveals three new machines for fuel production, mechanical and chemical recycling, and more

The Merak primary shredding cutting system is specially designed for volume reduction and high throughputs and prepares materials for downstream processes (250 to 350 mm).

At this year's IFAT, Lindner introduced three new products with flexibility and a range of applications including the production of substitute fuel, the processing of waste wood and scrap metal, and both mechanical and chemical plastic recycling.

The Merak primary shredder features a sophisticated blade and drive concept, resulting in an extensive range of particle sizes, materials, and applications. With the new Alcor stationary twin-shaft shredder, Lindner now also offers the synchronous motor for stationary applications. In terms of ease of maintenance and servicing, a new screw-on blade holder concept is also available.

The Merak is the newest highlight 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. Due to the sophisticated electric drive concept with three transmission ratios (55, 87, and 103 rpm), the Merak can shred the most diverse materials at the optimum operating point in each case, adding an extra level of efficiency.

Alcor, Lindner's new two-shaft shredder, features high throughput and efficiency, and is now also stationary. The electrohydrostatic 335 kW drive reacts quickly to changes in load and its high torque makes it especially suited to tough materials. By using different shaft types, the Alcor can shred a wide variety of materials - from waste wood, rootstocks, C&I and MSW to aluminum and mixed scrap. Lindner's Sky Flap provides easy access to the cutting unit and makes swift work of removing contaminants. The breaker bar can also be removed or replaced easily through the Sky Flap.

Minimized downtimes and maximum machine availability are some of the advantages of the new screw-on knife holder, which is now available for the Komet series. If non-shreddables cause deformation, the knife holder can be replaced in just 15 minutes. This was a job that previously took up to 4 hours due to the welding work required.

"These innovations have one main goal - to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of our customers," says Michael Lackner, managing director of Lindner. "By providing new technologies, we enable our customers to adapt to changing market demands. This includes the realization of higher recycling rates and the processing of new waste streams."
