In the field of plastics shredding the company established itself to be the specialist for customer-specific solutions and particularly complex applications. U NTHA plastics shredders were developed specifically for the processing of plastics. They are suitable for processing all kinds of plastics, ranging from foils, lumps, profiles, fibres, rib- bons, PET bottles and foams to post-consumer and production waste. Thanks to a range of different cutting systems, rotor dia- meters and shapes as well as different blade sizes, the shred- ders are suitable for thermoplastics, duroplastics and elastom- ers and can be customised to suit each customer's individual re- quirements.
