Zuser Group Invests in Sustainable Shredding Technology

Innovative Environmental Solutions
Zuser Group has made significant strides in sustainability at its Peggau, Styria site through extensive investments in renewable energy and advanced shredding technology. The company aims to enhance its environmental initiatives, focusing on CO2 reduction and resource efficiency. Utilizing UNTHA shredders, Zuser produces over 100,000 tons of high-quality refuse-derived fuel (RDF) annually, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

High-Quality Fuel Production
The company processes a diverse range of materials, including commercial waste, lightweight packaging, and used tires, to create RDF with high energy content and purity. The UNTHA XR3000RC mobil-e and XR3000C mobil-e shredders are central to this operation, designed for flexibility and energy efficiency. André Riemer, Head of Processing Technology at Zuser, emphasizes the importance of these shredders in achieving high throughput rates and maintaining a consistent material source.

Efficient and Versatile Shredding Technology
Zuser has relied on UNTHA’s shredders for years, selecting the latest models based on their energy efficiency and electric drive capabilities. The XR series is specifically tailored for handling materials like lightweight packaging and commercial waste. With a low-speed Eco Power Drive, these shredders consume up to 75% less energy compared to traditional diesel models, ensuring both environmental and economic benefits. A magnetic separator further enhances the recycling process by efficiently sorting metals.

Tailored Testing for Optimal Performance
UNTHA offers customers the opportunity to conduct practical tests with their shredders to ensure they meet specific operational requirements. Zuser took full advantage of this testing process, evaluating the UNTHA XR3000RC mobil-e for two weeks in their facility. Riemer noted the shredder’s impressive performance, particularly its resistance to foreign materials, high throughput, and energy efficiency.
