Lindner develops 'smart' Mono-Fix knife technology for shredders

July 6, 2021
The smart systems can feature both pointed and flat knives to avoid common problems that arise when shredding difficult materials such as large lumps and purgings.

Shredders Lindner’s Micromat- and Antares-series shredders come in several sizes and can process a wide variety of plastic waste.  

What’s new? A “smart-system” version of the company’s Mono-Fix knife technology. Originally developed to minimize downtime, Mono-Fix features knives and knife holders that can quickly be changed using only one screw. The company has developed additional pointed and flat knives, as well as plates and special counter knives that can be provided as a turnkey package. Lindner can tailor the packages to the specific shredder model and material. The turnkey packages can be retrofitted to existing Micromat and Antares shredders.  

Benefits Versatility and better cutting. The smart systems can feature both pointed and flat knives to avoid common problems that arise when shredding difficult materials such as large lumps and purgings. The systems’ filler plates can be used to adjust the aggressiveness of the cutting unit so that the machine can shred heavy materials at high throughputs. Additionally, it is simple to replace the entire cutting system when needed.
