Italy: Shredder manufacturer Untha says that it has overseen ‘significant’ growth following its collaboration with waste processing company Ecotec Solution. Since mid-2016 Ecotec Solution has secured six large projects for its Austrian partner.
These include three XR mobil-e sales for waste to energy facilities: one based in Trieste handling bulky input wastes for cement fuel preparation and two tackling pre-treated municipal solid waste (MSW) to create varied products including an infeed material for heat treatment. Other sales include a static XR3000C shredder for high performance <50mm solid recovered fuel (SRF) manufacturing, an XR2000R shredder for the <350mm processing of MSW and a TR2500 post shredder to produce a refined <30mm cement fuel from pre-treated light fraction.
“Landfill sites are closing and, due to a lack of more traditional waste disposal options, companies are looking for new channels for their residual materials,” said Ecotec Solution’s managing director Martin Mairhofer. “High value prices for SRF make this non-traditional treatment method an attractive alternative, but a significant degree of investment is required to design and build commercially robust plants.”
