UNTHA RS100
The heavy duty four shaft UNTHA RS100 is the latest addition to the fleet, with another existing RS100 already in operation. Capable of processing the materials many operators shy away from, Malary will use the new equipment to shred contaminated waste such as IBCs, and plastic/steel drum shredding for re-use, recycling, and energy recovery. Currently configured to handle up to 150 tonnes pr/week the new RS100 machine doubles Malary’s total capacity, with the ability to transform difficult wastes into a homogenous particle size as small as 50mm. The fraction is then further separated so that ferrous and non- ferrous material can also be salvaged for remanufacturing.
UNTHA RS30
The business has bolstered the capabilities of its secure destruction division with the investment in a confidential waste shredder, certified to DIN-66399 standards. The four-shaft shredder is capable of processing up to 1.5 tonnes of these materials per hour and can produce a range of outputs from 10mm–100mm to allow classified materials to be completely destroyed. The cutting chamber also pre-shreds and re-shreds in a single pass, with a ‘mixing’ action for added peace of mind. The low-speed nature of Lighthouse Security’s new solution, means the materials can be shredded without damaging their fibres, which protects output quality and increases reuse or recycling potential. The zero-waste-to-landfill process therefore upholds high environmental standards, as well as compliance.
UNTHA RS40
The Slough-headquartered firm has invested in a new hard drive shredder which will enable the confidential destruction team to comfortably – and compliantly – process over 3,000 hard drives per week. The UNTHA RS40 shredder has just been delivered to SAS Logistics’ Northampton site and thanks to its ‘plug and play’ technology, it was operational within the hour.
XR3000 mobil-e
ATP has procured the UNTHA XR3000C mobil-e from waste management equipment specialist FOCUS Enviro – the exclusive Australian distribution partner for the global shredding giant.
The movable machine with two energy-efficient 132kW motors will be used to process car/passenger tyres down to a homogenous 50mm output. This resulting fraction – produced to an exacting specification – enables ATP to supply a thermal desorption process to create fuel oils, clean gas for electricity generation, steel and carbon, with no harmful emissions.
Previously operating a high-speed system to transform pre-sorted commercial and industrial waste into a refined SRF for use in combined heat and power plants, the Niramax development team was encountering repeated problems with machine damage, unplanned downtime and excessive wear costs.
Keen to boost the reliability, throughput and profitability of the plant, Niramax has therefore re-evaluated the marketplace and made the switch to an UNTHA XR3000 mobil-e with new XC cutting configuration. The purchase of the energy-efficient machine follows a successful trial on the Hartlepool site, where operators put the XR to the test using their own materials.
UNTHA XR3000C
Austrian-headquartered metal separation, processing and recycling specialist Schaufler has invested in a new machine from fellow native brand UNTHA shredding technology, as the business looks to boost the efficiency of its scrap handling operation in 2020 and beyond.
The Ybbs an der Donau-based company is no stranger to ferrous and non-ferrous materials, having operated in the metals market since 1948. The 120-strong team handles copper, aluminium, zinc and stainless steel from scrap dealers, industry, municipal associations and private households, before collecting, sorting, shredding and selling the valuable recyclates to smelting works across Europe.
Eastbourne-based Smith & Ouzman has been providing bespoke security printing services since 1845. The independently-owned family business helps to produce an array of sensitive documentation including financial paperwork, ballot papers, examination certificates and local currency.
With such extensive experience in this specialist field, the organisation is no stranger to the stringent data protection laws that govern the sector – the robust destruction of confidential documents is as important as the compliant printing, storage and handling of these materials.
Automotive specialist Sanoh invested in an UNTHA RS40 shredder to tackle the surplus metal it generates during the production of brake and fuel pipes for the automotive industry. These component parts must be formed into specific shapes to suit the ergonomics of different vehicles, which naturally creates extremely obscure ‘offcuts’.
With the metal collected in skips for off-site recycling – at a cost of £120 per week – this practice already ensured a robust environmental approach for Sanoh. But the diverse profile of the ‘waste’ meant that a large proportion of the skips were simply filled with fresh air.
By shredding the material to a <40mm particle size, Sanoh can now load each skip with approximately 5 times more material, which will reap rapid cost savings.
UNTHA LR1400
Established in 1919, BBMC – the social enterprise of charity Royal British Legion Industries – has long strived to support the lives of ex-service personnel. However, as the years have passed, the Aylesford-based company has gone on to also provide employment opportunities to non-veterans including people with disabilities and those out of work. More than 100 such individuals staff a £5m turnover factory, one of five divisions within the registered RBLI charity
UNTHA XR3000C mobil-e
Rabbit Waste Management is no stranger to waste shredding. The skip hire firm diverts 75,000 tonnes of locally-collected C&I, C&D and wood waste from landfill each year, in favour of manufacturing an alternative fuel used to run its own 5MW Waste to Energy Enviropower plant.
The team previously used a diesel-driven mobile shredder to process infeed materials, but when this high-speed technology failed, the hunt for a safer, more environmentally-sound and profitable replacement began.
With a history spanning coal distribution and skip hire, M&M is a 46-year-old business that has more recently expanded into end-to-end waste collection, management and treatment, at the firm’s Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) and Waste Transfer Station in Cassington. Now handling 150,000 tonnes of materials each year, this is a significant milestone for the organisation.
Fortress’ Dry Mixed Recyclables plant – designed and supplied by Blue Southern – hit the headlines when it was first unveiled. It was clear that significant investment and some clever thinking had brought this site to life.
Constructed in a building measuring just 730sqm and 6.5m high at the eaves, the facility had some challenging objectives to meet from the outset, if it was to effectively tackle the paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and aluminium cans passing through.
