Waste wood
The intelligent re-use of wood is not a new phenomenon – as one of the world’s oldest materials, this sustainable resource has been recycled and/or repurposed for thousands of years. But the global wood processing landscape continues to change extensively.
How can UNTHA help you shred wood?
Our wood shredders have been purposefully engineered with MSW in mind – that means they’re built specifically to handle this waste stream, with dozens of features to deliver maximum performance.
Client return on investment (ROI) is our number one priority – that’s why we manufacture robust, long lasting, easy-to-maintain shredders, with high availability, throughputs of up to 70 tonnes per hour, and wear costs as low as £3 per tonne. All of this with up to 80% increased yield on ferrous and non-ferrous material, which could pay for the machine in as little as 12 months!
Our shredders contain inbuilt foreign object protection to avoid costly machine damage, breakdowns, and unplanned downtime.
With three cutter concepts and variable rotor speeds, there’s no such thing as a one size fits all shredder – we can help you achieve a homogenous fraction of anything from <30mm to 400mm, with throughputs of up to 70 tph. Our machines can even be supplied as static or mobile technology!
Having recognised alternative fuel production experts within the UNTHA team, we have played a key role in shaping the performance of hundreds of Waste to Energy (WtE) plants in the UK, Europe, Asia, America and Australia.
We were one of the first equipment manufacturers to help clients boost their duty of care to staff, thanks to the machine’s ergonomic design considerations, low noise and low dust. We’ve even written for the British Safety Council on this very topic!
That's why we offer free trials at our North Yorkshire HQ, enabling you to test our wood shredders using your own materials.
