Your material. Your site. Real results.
What Is the Lindner Merak 2800 DT?
The Lindner Merak 2800 DT is a mobile, diesel-hydraulic, single-shaft industrial shredder designed for waste processing, recycling and material size reduction.
Combining Lindner’s established shredding technology with a fully tracked mobile chassis, the Merak provides operators with a flexible alternative to stationary shredding equipment.
Unlike electrically powered stationary shredders, the Merak 2800 DT operates independently of the mains electricity supply, making it particularly suitable for locations where electrical infrastructure is unavailable, insufficient or impractical.
Its versatility also extends to its cutting technology.
With three interchangeable cutting systems, the machine can be configured for primary, universal or secondary shredding applications, allowing businesses to process different materials and achieve a range of output sizes.
This makes the Merak particularly interesting for recycling operators handling multiple waste streams or looking to introduce greater flexibility into their processing operations.
Why Is Mach Tech Bringing the Merak 2800 DT on a UK Demonstration Tour?
Choosing the right industrial shredder is a significant investment.
While manufacturers’ specifications provide valuable information about machine capabilities, they cannot always demonstrate how equipment will perform with a particular waste stream.
Material composition, contamination levels, moisture content, required output sizes and site conditions can all influence shredding performance.
That’s why the Lindner Merak 2800 DT UK demonstration tour is focused on practical testing rather than simply showcasing the machine.
Operators will have the opportunity to:
- Test their own materials: Evaluate how the Merak processes waste streams relevant to their business.
- Assess output quality: Explore how different cutting configurations and screen sizes influence the resulting material.
- Experience mobile shredding: See how the tracked machine can be positioned and operated within a working site.
- Discuss processing requirements: Speak directly with Mach Tech’s technical specialists about applications, throughput and operational challenges.
- Explore future investment: Understand whether the Merak could complement or replace existing shredding equipment.
For businesses considering their next mobile waste shredder, the tour offers an opportunity to assess machine suitability before making a purchasing decision.
Diesel-Hydraulic Power: Mobile Shredding Without Mains Electricity
One of the Merak 2800 DT’s most important features is its diesel-hydraulic drive system.
The machine combines a diesel engine with a matched hydraulic system to deliver power to the shredding rotor, with rotor speeds of up to 110 rpm.
Unlike stationary electric shredders, the Merak does not require a mains electricity connection or an additional generator.
This offers several practical advantages for waste management and recycling operations.
Greater Operational Flexibility
The Merak can be deployed at sites without suitable electrical infrastructure, providing an option for temporary processing operations, remote locations and businesses where installing additional electrical capacity would be difficult.
Shredding Where the Material Is
Mounted on a tracked chassis, the machine can be repositioned around a processing facility or yard.
This allows operators to bring shredding equipment closer to the material, potentially reducing internal material handling requirements.
Protected Drive Components
The Merak incorporates a wet-running, torque-controlled safety clutch designed to protect the cutting unit and drive components when challenging materials enter the shredding chamber.
For operators processing mixed or unpredictable waste streams, protecting key components is an important consideration when assessing machine reliability and maintenance requirements.
One Mobile Shredder, Three Cutting Systems
Versatility is central to the Lindner Merak 2800 DT.
Rather than being limited to a single shredding application, the machine can be equipped with three interchangeable cutting systems to suit different processing requirements.
Primary Shredding: 250mm to 350mm
The primary cutting configuration is designed for coarse size reduction and high-throughput applications.
It can be used to reduce bulky materials and prepare waste for subsequent processing stages, including separation, sorting or further shredding.
Universal Shredding: 80mm to 300mm
The universal cutting system is designed for operators requiring greater flexibility across mixed waste streams.
It combines primary shredding capabilities with defined output sizing, making it suitable for a variety of commercial and industrial waste processing applications.
Secondary Shredding: 30mm to 120mm
For applications requiring smaller particle sizes, the secondary cutting configuration enables more precise material processing.
Potential applications include waste wood processing and the production of solid recovered fuel (SRF) from suitable commercial and industrial waste streams.
Quick-Change Screen Technology
The Merak also features Lindner’s Plug & Go screen system.
This allows operators to change screen configurations to achieve different output sizes without lengthy changeovers.
For recycling businesses processing multiple materials, the ability to adapt output specifications can be particularly valuable.
What Materials Can the Lindner Merak 2800 DT Shred?
The Merak 2800 DT has been developed for a broad range of waste processing and recycling applications.
During the UK tour, Mach Tech will be looking to demonstrate the machine with materials relevant to individual customer operations.
Commercial and Industrial Waste
Commercial and industrial (C&I) waste can contain a challenging mixture of materials.
The Merak’s interchangeable cutting systems make it suitable for selected C&I waste processing applications, including material preparation for alternative fuel production.
Waste Wood
Waste wood processing is another important application.
Depending on the material and required output, the Merak can be configured for volume reduction or more defined particle sizing for downstream recycling and recovery processes.
Bulky Waste
Bulky materials such as mattresses and carpets can present significant handling and processing challenges.
The Merak provides a mobile shredding option for reducing the size of suitable bulky waste streams ahead of further processing.
Plastics Recycling
The machine can also process selected plastic materials, including plastic containers, pipes and rolls.
Effective size reduction can help prepare these materials for subsequent recycling operations.
Other Challenging Materials
Additional potential applications include railway sleepers, window frames and car tyres, subject to the appropriate machine configuration and material assessment.
Have a particular material you’d like to test?
Mach Tech is encouraging operators to discuss their waste streams ahead of the tour to explore potential demonstration opportunities.
What Are the Benefits of a Mobile Waste Shredder?
For some waste and recycling businesses, a mobile shredder can offer operational advantages compared with a fixed installation.
The most suitable solution will depend on site layout, processing volumes, available infrastructure and the materials being handled.
However, mobile shredding technology can provide benefits in several areas.
Flexible deployment: A tracked machine can be moved between suitable processing areas rather than remaining permanently fixed in one location.
Reduced dependence on fixed infrastructure: A self-contained diesel-hydraulic drive removes the need for a mains electrical connection.
Adaptability: Different cutting configurations allow one machine to be used for several processing applications.
Temporary processing: Mobile equipment can be particularly useful for operations where material processing requirements change over time.
On-site material reduction: Shredding material closer to where it is stored or generated may help simplify handling and prepare waste for transportation or further processing.
The Merak 2800 DT brings these capabilities together in a single mobile shredding platform.
