Long-standing UNTHA customer H. Brown & Son Recycling has invested in a new UNTHA shredder, switching from an XR to a ZR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Stoke-on-Trent based waste management firm has used UNTHA shredding technology within its alternative fuel production plant for over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But following the launch of the new ZR pre-shredder, last Autumn, Browns will switch out its trusty XR, after 11 years of operational service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new machine will process the same variety of input materials \u2013 a multifaceted mix of commercial, industrial and other bulky wastes \u2013 transforming them into a 200mm fuel for UK Waste to Energy conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But following extensive on-site trials, Browns has discovered it can increase its throughputs by up to 30%, thanks to UNTHA\u2019s ongoing innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve always been impressed with what we can achieve with our shredders,\u201d commented Browns\u2019 managing director Rod Brown. \u201cAnd the firm\u2019s constant commitment to pushing new boundaries has continued to support the evolution of our business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were early adopters of UNTHA\u2019s Waste to Energy equipment, for example, back in the early 2010s, running the XR as a primary shredder and the former TR as a secondary shredder, to produce a highly refined SRF fraction. As the RDF side of our business has grown, we\u2019ve continued to rely heavily on the XR \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s probably completed over 18,000 hours of service for us! But when the ZR came out we thought we\u2019d see what we could achieve with this new technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two-shaft UNTHA ZR2400 has been fitted with the H waste table, to best suit Browns\u2019 RDF set-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a low speed, high torque machine, with bi-directional shaft rotation, which means the cutters grab, shear and liberate in forward and reverse. The result is a continuous operation \u2013 Browns will always be shredding!\u201d added UNTHA UK\u2019s managing director Marcus Brew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really impressed that the ZR comes with the same electric drive \u2013 and therefore the same power savings \u2013 that we\u2019re used to,\u201d concluded Rod. \u201cYou don\u2019t traditionally expect this performance from a two-shaft machine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
