More alternative fuels for the cement industry
The main business of the waste management company Otto-Rüdiger Schulze, located in Neuendorf near Berlin, is the processing of alternative fuels. The company supplies more than 80000 t of these fuels annually, mainly to the cement industry. The XR3000C shredder from the Austrian manufacturer Untha shredding technology is an important partner in day-to-day business.
The requirements for the new acquisition of a high-performance shredding plant were clear, as plant manager André Rabeus explains: “Pre-shredding in its original state was able to achieve an opening of 0 to 300 mm. We were therefore looking for a device that would guarantee us an optimized shredding of the input material”. The waste disposal company tested machines from several manufacturers. It was a clear decision to choose the XR3000C from Untha: “With the slow-running single-shaft shredder from Untha we achieve a much better digestion from 0 to 150 mm. This also results in a considerable reduction in wear and tear on the machines in the rest of the production line. With the XR3000C we can achieve a daily output of 400 to 450 t. Thanks to the very economical Untha Eco Power Drive, the positive balance is also reflected in energy efficiency: the recycling specialist can save around 1000 kWh of energy per day. Added to this are the low maintenance requirements and low maintenance costs. With more than 80000 t of alternative fuel per year processed in the plant, this is a clear technical and operational advantage”.
