Merak and Alcor, new recycling products from Lindner

19 June 2024

In line with the motto “Ready for the future of your business,” Lindner is presenting innovative solutions at IFAT 2024 that will ideally equip companies for the challenges of tomorrow. Robust, energy efficient and flexible both in the diversity of materials and applications these shredders can handle are essential characteristics – and the same goes for maintenance and servicing

Lindner will be demonstrating its innovative strength, comprehensive range of applications and flexibility with three new products. Solutions include the production of substitute fuel, the processing of waste wood and scrap metal and, with regard to plastics recycling, both mechanical and chemical recycling. Merak – the new universal genius from Lindner – scores with its sophisticated blade and drive concept. The result: an extensive range of particle sizes, materials and applications. With the new Alcor stationary twin-shaft shredder, Lindner now also offers the synchronous motor for stationary applications. In terms of ease of maintenance and servicing, a new screw-on blade holder concept is also a must.

Product Novelty MERAK 2800 EK – The Universal Genius

Merak is the new star of Lindner’s product family, setting new standards in versatility, productivity and throughput. The innovative cutting system enables the shredder to be used for everything from coarse pre- shredding to universal and post-shredding, achieving particle sizes that range from 30 to 350 mm. Thanks to the sophisticated electric drive concept with three transmission ratios (55, 87 and 103 rpm), the Merak can shred the most diverse materials at the optimum operating point in each case, adding an extra level of efficiency.

Product Novelty Alcor 5000 SY – Powerful Efficiency

Alcor, Lindner’s new two-shaft shredder, is presented with its customary high throughput, powerful efficiency – and is now also stationary. The electrohydrostatic 335 kW drive reacts impressively quickly to changes in load and its high torque makes it especially suited to particularly tough materials. By using different shaft types, the Alcor can shred a wide variety of materials – from waste wood, rootstocks, C&I and MSW to aluminium and mixed scrap. Lindner’s Sky Flap provides easy access to the cutting unit and makes swift work of removing contaminants. The breaker bar can also be removed or replaced easily through the Sky Flap. By using different shaft types, the Alcor can shred a wide variety of materials – from waste wood, rootstocks, C&I and MSW to aluminium and mixed scrap.

Product Innovation – Screw-on Blade Holder Concept

Minimised downtimes and maximum machine availability. These are some of the most important advantages of the new screw-on knife holder, which is now available for the Komet series. If non-shreddables cause deformation, the knife holder can be replaced in just 15 minutes. This was a job that previously took up to 4 hours due to the welding work required.
