LKR raises recycling efficiency with energy-saving
shredder technology from Lindner reSource
The two new VEGA L 1100 single-shaft shredders from Lindner resource, installed at
Lohner Kunststoffrecycling GmbH (LKR), need only half as much power as previously
employed machines while achieving the same throughput.
Großbottwar, March 2012
With the installation of two new VEGA L 1100 single-shaft shredders from Lindner reSource
(www.lindner-resource.com), Lohner Kunststoffrecycling GmbH (LKR, www.recyclate.de) of
Vechta/Germany has vastly improved its energy efficiency in recycling engineering
polymers. Jan-Hendrik Wilming, LKR’s managing director, comments: "By opting for the
VEGA L 1100, we have been able to reduce the connected loads of our single-shaft
shredders by 50%, at unchanged throughput. This is in addition to significant cost
savings achieved in pre-shredding production waste, not least through a significant cut in
wear costs."

Based on previous encouraging experience with Lindner’s recycling technology, LKR is now
installing an additional Micromat Plus 2000 single-shaft shredder as part of its current
capacity expansion drive. Machines from this series are capable of handling particularly
large and heavy plastic waste at high volume rates. This investment too was made with
low energy consumption and high productivity consistently in mind.
VEGA single-shaft shredders made by Lindner reSource deliver throughputs of between
300 and 1500 kg per hour, depending on configuration and equipment level. Users can
choose between two rotor diameters (282 and 434 mm), three rotor lengths (540, 1,080 and
1,620 mm), and two blade types (“point blade” or “square blade” rotor). The VEGA L 1100
in use at LKR have been developed for shredding hard plastics at low rotational speeds.
Due to the special blade arrangement on the rotor, only one blade is engaged at any given
time. This design ensures a controlled draw-in action, reduced noise emissions, and a
lower rate of fines in the pellet output. Beyond this, the machine features easy access for
screen changes and maintenance work or repairs, to comply with high quality standards.
With their throughput capacity of 500 to 800 kg/h, these units are particularly well suited for
pre-shredding small-to-medium size batches, e.g., in the form of start-up lumps, larger
automotive plastic parts, packaging items or sheet material. Their ability to process the
entire range of engineering plastics, including tough or exceptionally hard products such as
PE, PC or POM, gives recyclers maximum flexibility.
The substantially larger Micromat Plus single-shaft shredders, delivering nominal
throughputs of up to 5,000 kg/h, are intended for industrial-scale plastics recycling. Their
rotor measures 563 mm in diameter, and the customer has a choice between rotor lengths
of 1,530 mm, 2,030 mm and 2,350 mm. Three different drive systems are available to meet
specific application needs. Versatility is further enhanced by the easily replaceable
screens with 10 to 300 mm hole diameters. LKR employs the new Micromat Plus 2000 as a
pre-shredder for large mono-batches. Apart from large-volume parts and heavy lumps,
even contaminated plastics can be processed in this manner.
„In the context of our current equipment upgrading and expansion scheme, we rely on the
renowned reliablity and long service life of Lindner technology," Jan-Hendrik Wilming
