Live demonstrations are one of the best ways to see what recycling machinery can actually achieve.

At Letsrecycle Live, Mach Tech Services showcased the capabilities of the Lindner Urraco 95 mobile shredder alongside a Lindner Zeta Star screening system, demonstrating an efficient approach to waste wood processing and biomass preparation.

The combination showcased how shredding and screening technology can work together to produce a controlled P63 biomass fraction, while maintaining high throughput and flexibility.

The live demonstration generated significant interest throughout the event, with visitors able to see Lindner technology operating in real-world conditions.

The Lindner Urraco 95 in Action

The Lindner Urraco 95 is a powerful mobile shredder designed for demanding recycling applications.

At Letsrecycle Live, the Urraco 95 was paired with the Zeta Star screen to demonstrate the processing of waste wood into a controlled biomass fraction.

This type of setup is particularly valuable for operators looking to combine:

• High shredding throughput
• Efficient material screening
• Controlled particle size
• Mobile processing
• Reduced material handling
• High-quality biomass production

The Urraco 95 and Zeta Star combination demonstrates how mobile shredding and screening can be integrated into a single efficient processing solution.

Waste Wood Shredding and Screening in One Process

One of the major advantages of the setup demonstrated at Letsrecycle Live was its ability to produce a P63 biomass fraction in one pass.

The Urraco shredder reduces the waste wood, while the Zeta Star screening system separates the material according to size.

The oversized fraction can then be returned to the shredder for further processing or stockpiled, depending on the requirements of the operation.

This provides operators with greater control over the final material specification while helping maximise the productivity of the screening process.

The process can be summarised as:

Waste Wood → Urraco 95 Shredding → Zeta Star Screening → P63 Biomass

This type of integrated approach can help simplify material processing while improving control over the finished product.

Why Particle Size Matters in Waste Wood Recycling

Not all processed waste wood has the same end use.

Depending on the application, operators may require different particle sizes and material specifications.

For biomass applications, producing a consistent fraction is particularly important.

The combination of the Urraco 95 and Zeta Star allows the shredding and screening process to work together to produce the required material specification.

The Zeta Star features a 5.6 m² screening area, providing a compact screening solution while maintaining high productivity.

This makes the system particularly suitable for operators looking to process and classify waste wood efficiently.

Flexible Screening for Waste Wood

Waste wood isn’t always consistent.

Material can vary considerably depending on its source and may include:

• Pallets
• Timber
• Packaging wood
• Construction and demolition wood
• Chipboard
• Bulky wood waste
• Mixed waste wood

The ability to adjust the processing configuration can therefore be extremely valuable.

The Zeta Star allows operators to customise the screening speed at the touch of a button, providing greater flexibility when processing different materials and specifications.

Minimising Downtime During Screening

Downtime can have a significant impact on recycling operations.

The Zeta Star uses wear-resistant screening stars manufactured from elastic high-performance plastics, helping reduce wear and maintenance requirements.

This is particularly important when processing abrasive waste wood and other demanding materials.

The screening system has also been designed to provide practical access for maintenance, helping operators keep equipment working efficiently.

The Advantage of Mobile Waste Wood Shredding

One of the key benefits of the Urraco 95 mobile shredder is flexibility.

Mobile shredding equipment can be used across different locations, stockpiles and material sources without requiring the same fixed infrastructure as a stationary system.

For waste wood recyclers, this can provide opportunities to:

• Process material closer to the source
• Reduce unnecessary material transportation
• Move between stockpiles
• Process different grades of wood
• Adapt production to changing requirements

The Urraco range is designed for demanding mobile recycling applications and can be configured around different material streams and processing requirements.

From Rough Shredding to Fine Processing

One of the points demonstrated by Mach Tech at Letsrecycle Live was the breadth of Lindner’s shredding technology.

Depending on the application, Lindner equipment can process material ranging from a rough 250–400 mm shred through mobile Urraco machines to much finer outputs of around 10 mm using suitable single-shaft shredders.

This demonstrates an important principle:

The right shredder depends on the application.

There is no single machine that is ideal for every material and every required output.

Material type, throughput, feed size and final particle specification all need to be considered when selecting recycling equipment.

Why Choose a Urraco 95 for Waste Wood Recycling?

The Urraco 95 is particularly suited to operators who require a combination of mobility, throughput and robust shredding performance.

When paired with an appropriate screening system, it can provide a complete approach to waste wood processing.

Key advantages include:

Mobile Processing

Move the machine between locations and stockpiles as required.

High-Volume Shredding

Designed for demanding recycling applications where consistent throughput is essential.

Controlled Output

Pairing shredding with screening provides greater control over the final material specification.

Flexible Processing

The system can be adapted to different grades and types of waste wood.

Reduced Material Handling

Processing and screening can be integrated into an efficient workflow.

Waste Wood Recycling for Biomass Production

Waste wood can be a valuable secondary resource when appropriately processed.

Instead of sending suitable waste wood directly to disposal, shredding and screening can prepare the material for applications such as biomass fuel and energy recovery.

The quality and specification of the finished material are important considerations, which is why choosing the right combination of shredder and screen is essential.

The Urraco 95 and Zeta Star demonstration at Letsrecycle Live showed how these technologies can work together to produce a controlled biomass fraction efficiently.

Real-World Shredding Technology

For Mach Tech, demonstrating machinery in a live environment is an important part of helping customers understand what a machine can deliver.

Rather than simply discussing theoretical specifications, visitors at Letsrecycle Live could see the Urraco 95 and Zeta Star operating together, processing material and producing the required output.

This gives recycling businesses the opportunity to see:

• Machine performance
• Material flow
• Shredding efficiency
• Screening performance
• Output quality
• Machine configuration

Mach Tech takes the same application-led approach when recommending equipment to customers.
