High availability, a wide range of possible applications, precise grain size: A Miura 1500, the machine of choice for processing municipal, commercial and industrial waste into RDF fractions of < 80 mm, is now in use at the Nemetz plant. The Lindner mobile shredder is unique with the only fast exchange system for fully welded shafts on the market.
‘We make more out of waste’ – That’s the Nemetz Entsorgung und Transport AG’s objective. Founded in 1915 with a small horse-drawn carriage, today the family business in Leopoldsdorf near Vienna is active in waste management throughout Austria. Services include the collection and recycling of valuable materials (metals, paper, glass, plastics, demolition/construction waste, etc.) as well as the disposal of residual waste, special waste and hazardous municipal, commercial and industrial waste. For this purpose Nemetz customers can use an online ordering service for skips and other containers. Since 1993 the company has been operating a continuously expanding sorting plant (also for film and PET) at its headquarters and since 2002 a modern RDF plant at the Himberg site in Lower Austria, which was later retrofitted with a system for the removal of PVC plastic. The refuse-derived fuels are produced from mixed waste and are marketed primarily in the cement industry.
When it comes to shredding technology, Lindner is the partner to trust. Four of the manufacturer's shredders were installed at once when the RDF plant was commissioned 16 years ago. By 2008 three shredding lines had been created, and in 2010 Nemetz replaced the ageing Komets with new shredders of the same series. Now that a special mobile shredder producing a final grain size of < 80 mm was required, the certified waste management company once again opted for a Lindner solution – the new Miura mobile twin-shaft shredder. ‘We need a shredder that achieves the desired grain size of 80 mm in one go,’ explains Mario Prammer, who is responsible for the Nemetz quality, marketing and sales divisions. ‘The machine must also be versatile and mobile.‘
