Engineered to perform like new

Shredder rebuilds

SHREDDER REBUILDS

UNTHA shredders are built to last — designed and engineered for what can often result in decades of operational life.

But if the time comes when you think you need to replace your machinery following years of use, make sure you’ve considered a shredder rebuild first. For approximately a third of the cost of a new purchase, our rebuild service could extend the life of your asset by typically 80-100% — you can even finance the project for maximum affordability.

With a 12-month warranty on all parts, plus a 6-month warranty on any defects, you have maximum peace of mind when your shredder is recommissioned.

Reliable results

When we receive a shredder rebuild enquiry, the first thing we do is schedule a site visit so that one of our engineers can inspect your machine. This survey is the first crucial stage in the process – it enables us to assess if a rebuild is possible.

Based on the findings from your initial inspection, we’ll outline the rebuild project detail, including how long the overhaul will take, the cost, and the impact a rebuild will have on the ongoing service life of your shredder. These all-important figures help to evidence the business case of this value-adding process, so if you’re not sure how the numbers will stack up, let us provide a quote. It may sound complicated — and potentially expensive — but you’d be surprised how cost-effective it is!

SHREDDER REBUILDS

Did you know... you can finance your shredder rebuild?

We’re known for the flexible packages offered via UNTHA Finance, but these aren’t just available when it comes to the initial purchase or hire of our shredders — we can also wrap the cost of a rebuild into a service agreement, so you can spread the payments into affordable amounts. The package can even include the loan of a ‘stand-by’ shredder, to ensure your operations run like clockwork while your machine is being worked on. It’s all part of our commitment to minimising downtime and maximising your margins, long into the future.

Environet
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.

OUR PROCESS

The shredder rebuild process

Scheduling & Removal

Once the rebuild project has been confirmed, we’ll schedule the works and arrange for your shredder to be decommissioned for removal from your site.

Inspection & Audit

It will then travel to our central-UK workshop — or our Austrian HQ depending on the work required — for a more detailed audit.

Work Approval

If any further work is required — than was originally anticipated — we’ll ‘check in’ for authorisation before the rebuild begins.

Rebuild Process

Our experienced engineers will then strip down your machine and begin the rebuild. We’ll keep in touch every step of the way with progress updates.

Testing & Quality Assurance

Whether the shredder rebuild is a quick and slick exercise or an extensive overhaul, we’ll thoroughly test the machine in our trial department.

Delivery & Recommissioning

Once the rebuild is signed off as complete, we’ll book in the dispatch and recommissioning work at your facility.

SHREDDER REBUILDS

The ultimate circular investment

We’re big advocates of all-things-sustainability and take great pride in knowing the role our machines play in turning ‘waste’ materials into valuable resources that can be reused, recycled and transformed into alternative fuels. However, we take that commitment to the circular economy one step further by ensuring that not only are our shredders built to last — when their operational performance starts to dip after years of service, they too can be brought back to tip top condition. This saves you the expense of buying a new asset and protects the environment, as we don’t need to manufacture a new machine from scratch.
