In line with the motto ‘Ready for the future of your business’, Lindner presented innovative solutions at IFAT 2024 to equip companies in the best possible way for the challenges of the future. The new shredders are designed to be robust, energy efficient and flexible. ‘Merak’ has been designed to provide a sophisticated cutting and drive concept, with the result, according to Lindner, making it suited for an extensive range of particle sizes, materials and applications. Additionally, the new ‘Alcor’ stationary twin shaft shredder has a synchronous cutting unit designed for high performance and application versatility. The new screw on blade holder concept for the ‘Komet’ series has been designed for ease of maintenance and servicing.

Merak is the new star of Lindner’s product family and has been designed to set new standards in versatility, productivity and throughput. Its innovative cutting system enables the shredder to be used for everything from coarse pre-shredding to universal and post-shredding, achieving particle sizes that range from 30mm to 350mm. Thanks to the sophisticated electric drive concept with three transmission ratios (55, 87 and 103rpm), the rotor speed can be adapted to the input material, which means that shredding is always carried out at the optimum operating point, achieving even greater efficiency.

Alcor, Lindner’s new twin shaft shredder, is said to be characterised by high performance, efficiency in a stationary design. The electro hydrostatic 335kW drive reacts quickly to changes in load with its high torque making it especially suited to particularly tough materials. By using different shaft types, the Alcor can shred a wide variety of materials including waste wood, rootstocks, C&I and MSW, aluminium and mixed scrap. Lindner’s ‘Sky Flap’ is designed to provide easy access to the cutting unit and makes swift work of removing contaminants, with the breaker bar being easily removed or replaced via this flap. 

Minimal downtime and maximum machine availability are said to be two highly beneficial features of the new screw on knife holder, now available for the Komet and Komet HP series. If non-shreddable materials cause deformation, the knife holder can be replaced in just 15min, a job that previously could take up to four hours due to the welding work required.
