Metal Recycling Revolutionized: Efficient Shredding for High-Quality Raw Materials

Energy Savings and CO2 Reduction through Recycling
Recycling metals significantly reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions compared to extracting new raw materials. Karl Karletshofer GmbH, a leader in the recycling sector, is enhancing its operations with an innovative recycling line, featuring the energy-efficient UNTHA shredder, model XR3000C.

Advanced Shredding and Sorting Capabilities
With over fifty years of experience in trading and storing ferrous scrap, non-ferrous metals, and electronic waste, Karl Karletshofer GmbH has recently integrated a shredding and sorting system into its service portfolio. The UNTHA XR3000C shredder enables the company to efficiently process aluminum, copper, and zinc sheets, producing unmixed metal fractions suitable for high-quality recycling.

Customizable Processing for Diverse Materials
Located in Neu-Ulm, Germany, Karl Karletshofer GmbH processes a variety of materials, including scrap iron, metals from production, electronic components, and circuit boards. The XR3000C single-shaft shredder is versatile, allowing for customization based on the input material’s composition, size, and thickness. With an operating program tailored to each material type and adjustable perforated screens, the shredder consistently produces the desired pellet size, enhancing operational efficiency.

Optimal Shredding for Quality Raw Materials
Clemens Karletshofer, Managing Director, emphasizes the shredder’s effectiveness: “The UNTHA XR3000C ensures optimal shredding of different metals and prepares them for subsequent sorting. This results in homogeneous and pure material that can be sold as high-quality raw material, effectively re-entering the material cycle.”

Testing for Performance Assurance
UNTHA provides potential customers the opportunity to test their shredders in real conditions. By assessing the input material, desired output size, and throughput rate, customers can evaluate the shredder’s capabilities on-site, supported by UNTHA experts to optimize performance and results. This hands-on testing approach aids decision-making for companies considering new shredding solutions.
