Lindner Industrial Shredders Backed by Expert UK Support

Investing in an industrial shredder is a major decision for any waste management, recycling or resource recovery business.

The machine needs to deliver reliable performance, consistent throughput and low operating costs, but the quality of the after-sales support can be just as important.

At Mach Tech Services, we believe customers should receive more than simply a machine.

As the UK’s Lindner Recyclingtech specialists, we combine Lindner industrial shredding technology with specialist engineering, installation, maintenance, spare parts and technical support.

Our long-standing relationship with Island Waste, part of the Guernsey Recycling Group, is a great example of how quality machinery and quality service can create a successful long-term partnership.

Island Waste and Lindner: A Long-Term Partnership

In 2017, Mach Tech Services delivered and installed a Lindner Polaris 1800 for Island Waste, a subsidiary company of the Guernsey Recycling Group.

At the time, the Polaris 1800 was the first machine of its kind in Europe, representing a significant investment in modern waste shredding technology.

The one-step shredder was selected for its robust construction, reliable performance and ability to process challenging waste streams efficiently.

Four years after installation, the machine continued to demonstrate the characteristics that made it stand out in the first place, including its strength, sturdy design and low operating costs.

For a waste management company operating in a demanding environment, reliability is critical.

Unplanned downtime can affect production, labour requirements, transportation and the wider waste processing operation.

By investing in a Lindner shredder supported by Mach Tech Services, Island Waste had access to both high-quality equipment and ongoing technical support.

From One Lindner Shredder to a Growing Fleet

The success of the original Polaris installation gave Island Waste confidence to continue investing in Lindner shredding technology.

The company subsequently made further investments in the Lindner range, including a second Lindner Urraco 75DK mobile shredder.

This represents a significant vote of confidence in both the equipment and the support provided by Mach Tech Services.

Island Waste’s decision highlights an important consideration when investing in recycling machinery:

The relationship with your equipment supplier doesn’t end when the machine arrives on site.

Reliable after-sales service, spare parts availability, engineering expertise and responsive technical support can all have a significant impact on the long-term performance of an industrial shredder.

Lindner Urraco 75DK: Compact, Powerful and Mobile

The Lindner Urraco 75DK provides Island Waste with the flexibility of mobile shredding while retaining the robust performance expected from Lindner equipment.

Mobile shredders are particularly useful for businesses that need to process waste at different locations or require greater flexibility within their waste management operation.

The Urraco combines a compact design with a powerful engine and robust shredding technology.

This makes it suitable for processing a wide range of demanding materials.

Its versatility means the Urraco can be used across numerous waste processing applications, depending on the machine configuration and material being processed.

Applications can include:

• Commercial waste
• Industrial waste
• Municipal waste
• Bulky waste
• Construction waste
• Waste wood
• Green waste
• Alternative fuel production
• Other challenging waste streams

For operations where mobility and versatility are important, a mobile industrial shredder can provide significant operational benefits.

Why Island Waste Chose Lindner Again

Island Waste’s continued investment in Lindner equipment demonstrates the importance of machine reliability and supplier support.

Operations Director Mathew Cox explains:

“We have chosen another Lindner Shredder, due to both the quality of the machine and the high quality service we receive from Mach Tech.”

This customer feedback highlights two factors that should be considered when selecting an industrial shredder:

Machine quality

The shredder needs to be engineered to withstand demanding operating conditions and deliver consistent performance.

After-sales service

The supplier needs to provide the technical support, engineering expertise and parts availability required to keep the machine working efficiently throughout its operational life.

At Mach Tech Services, we understand that both are essential.

More Than Just a Shredder Supplier

Industrial shredders operate in demanding environments.

Even the most robust machinery requires regular maintenance, wear-part replacement and technical support to maintain optimum performance.

That’s why Mach Tech Services provides a complete range of services to support Lindner shredders throughout their working life.

Shredder Installation

Our experienced engineering team can support the installation and commissioning of Lindner shredding equipment and associated processing systems.

Correct installation is essential for ensuring the equipment operates as intended from day one.

Preventative Maintenance

Regular maintenance can help identify potential problems before they become costly failures.

A proactive maintenance programme can also help maximise machine availability and extend equipment life.

Shredder Repairs

When equipment does require attention, our experienced engineers can diagnose and repair mechanical, hydraulic and electrical issues.

Our aim is to minimise downtime and get your equipment back into operation as quickly as possible.

Genuine Spare and Wear Parts

Having the right parts available when they’re needed is critical to maintaining industrial shredders.

Mach Tech Services holds over £1 million worth of spare and wear parts in stock, helping customers reduce waiting times and minimise unnecessary downtime.

Precision Engineering

Our in-house Precision Engineering department provides machining, welding, hardfacing and component refurbishment services.

This allows us to support customers with a wide range of engineering requirements.

Shredder Rebuilds

Where appropriate, shredders can be rebuilt and refurbished to restore performance and extend their operational life.

This can provide an alternative to replacing an entire machine and can help customers maximise the return on their original investment.

The Importance of Long-Term Shredder Support

Choosing an industrial shredder shouldn’t be based solely on the initial purchase price.

The total cost of ownership should also be considered.

Factors such as fuel consumption, electricity usage, maintenance requirements, wear-part costs, downtime and machine availability can all influence the long-term cost of operating a shredder.

This is why choosing an experienced supplier is so important.

A supplier that understands the application can help ensure the machine is correctly specified from the outset.

Ongoing technical support can then help maintain performance as the machine ages.

Mach Tech Services provides this support throughout the lifespan of Lindner equipment.

Lindner Industrial Shredders for Waste and Recycling

Lindner Recyclingtech manufactures a comprehensive range of shredding equipment designed for applications throughout the waste management and recycling industries.

The range includes:

Primary Shredders

Designed for the initial size reduction of demanding and bulky waste streams.

Secondary Shredders

Designed for further size reduction and applications such as RDF and SRF production.

Universal Shredders

Providing flexibility across multiple waste streams and applications.

One-Step Shredders

Designed to achieve the required output in a single processing stage where the application allows.

Mobile Shredders

Providing the flexibility to move equipment between locations and process material closer to its source.

This comprehensive portfolio allows the shredding equipment to be matched to the application rather than forcing customers to adapt their process around the machine.

Choosing the Right Industrial Shredder

Every waste stream is different.

Before investing in an industrial shredder, businesses should consider:

What material are you processing?

Waste wood, commercial waste, municipal waste, plastics and bulky waste can all require different shredding solutions.

What throughput do you need?

The machine needs to deliver the required tonnes per hour without compromising output quality or reliability.

What output size is required?

Screen configuration and cutting technology can influence the final material fraction.

Is mobility important?

For businesses operating across multiple locations, a mobile shredder such as the Lindner Urraco may provide greater flexibility.

What happens after shredding?

The shredder should form part of the wider processing system, whether the material is being recycled, sorted, granulated or converted into RDF or SRF.

What support is available?

A reliable engineering and spare parts network can make a significant difference to long-term machine availability.

Quality Machinery. Quality Engineering. Quality Support.

Island Waste’s continued investment in Lindner technology demonstrates what can happen when high-quality machinery is combined with experienced technical support.

From the original Lindner Polaris 1800 installation to subsequent investment in the Lindner Urraco 75DK, the relationship has developed into a long-term partnership built around performance, reliability and service.
