A four shaft RS40 is able to handle the tough input material, and produce the desired output fraction, allowing Environet to dry the material so it becomes non-viable – presenting a number of new, more environmentally conscious downstream options including composting, rather than landfill disposal.
The team quickly processed tonnes of material, but shortly after encountered an operational problem – an oil leak, likely caused by a maintenance oversight during the shredder’s former operational life.
Keen to access the best possible engineering support, Contracts Manager Sam Moss contacted UNTHA UK for manufacturer-specific assistance. “I requested a shredder inspection so that UNTHA could confirm exactly what we needed to do to repair the RS40. The location of the machine meant it was difficult to carry out the work in-situ, so two engineers visited our site to move, strip down, and clean the machine on our behalf.
Environet is now back up and running, and has direct contact with UNTHA UK – despite not originally buying the shredder from the company’s North Yorkshire HQ – if future machine optimisation, parts, or aftersales support, is needed.
The conservation experts provide a range of invasive plant removal, management and treatment methods for commercial and residential sites across the UK, with customer names including Aldi, Persimmon, and Balfour Beatty.
