Reliable metal shredders
We offer powerful industrial metal shredders for metal recycling companies, the waste industry, and the metal-processing industry.
We help you to maximize the value of your scrap metal, increase density to reduce your transportation costs, and improve your recycling process.
Find the right shredder
Input materials
Shear shredders are ideal for shredding sheet metal scrap as it is a material that cuts cleanly. Whether for reducing shipping costs or preparing material for remelt, UNTHA shredders are built specifically for your needs.
Metals have historically been one of the most recycled products. Steel, aluminum, and other metals rely on a stream of high-quality recycled material for their feedstock to both reduce cost and tailor the characteristics of their final product.
From shredding sheet steel, to aluminum, to brass and copper, each material has its own characteristics and presents its own challenges. Some metals may shred well in a shear shredder while others may be better suited to a single shaft. UNTHA’s experience with these materials has enabled us to design and build shredders that are well suited for most metals’ unique characteristics.
Whether you are shredding to increase density to reduce shipping costs or to create consistent particles that are optimized for smelting, one of our metal shredders will probably fit the bill.
Heavy-duty metal shredders
UNTHA offers with the XR and ZR class, two high-torque, slow-speed shredders for processing scrap metal.
The XR waste shredder is well suited for shredding metal and scrap in a single-stage to a homogenous granulate size. The XR technology combines highly capable shredding with the lowest operating costs, making the XR shredder a powerful partner for metal recycling. The ability to fully process metal in a single-stage makes the XR efficient and economical to operate.
The ZR pre-shredder processes bulky NF metal scrap like Al-Cu coolers, mixed Al, Al profiles, Al wire, Al sheet metal blanks, Al-ISO profiles, and Al rims. This per-shredder produces a coarse material (90 % < 300 mm | 90 % < 12") for further downstream processing equipment (sorting plant). The ZR shredder is the most economical double-shaft shredder with the lowest life-cycle costing (LCC) in its class.
Both heavy-duty metal shredders can be ordered as plant-based or as a mobile shredders. From shredding sheet steel to aluminum, to brass and copper, each material has its characteristics. Whatever your needs, we have the right metal recycling equipment for you.
Solutions for the metal-processing industry
The UNTHA four-shaft shredders are best for volume reduction when a well-defined and consistent granulate of less than 8" inches is needed. The rugged construction and long maintenance intervals make them particularly attractive for 24/7 operation and for improving your plant's productivity. Thanks to its compact design, UNTHA four-shaft shredders are easy to integrate into existing facilities.
Depending on the model chosen, the low-speed shredders are used to process the following materials:
Metal turning and chips
Steel barrels
Aluminum scrap
Sheet metal waste
Beverage cans
WEEE
Cables
Profiles
and much more
