Untha shredder handles difficult materials
MR1800C Pro This single-shaft universal shredder from Untha is first in the new MR series for difficult materials — such as thick-walled plastic sprues, molded parts, pipes, profiles, bales of film or composites — without any pre-treatment. The beltless Untha Power Drive system features an asynchronous motor, planetary gearbox and maintenance-free safety clutch. It eliminates typical sources of wear, such as belts or tensioning systems, and protects the cutting mechanism and drive train from damage. The C-cutting system is adaptable to a wide range of applications, and the number of blades and the cutting configuration can be individually adjusted. Rotor blades that can be used four times, reusable cutting bars and bolted blade holders extend service life and reduce wear costs. A hydraulic service flap provides direct access to the cutting unit, and the hydraulic screen basket allows a single person to change the screen quickly. The external, maintenance-free feed press with intelligent control ensures a consistent material feed. Machine data is available in real time via the MyUntha customer portal and the Untha Genius assistance system.
