Lindner Urraco ECO: A New Mobile Shredder for Waste Wood, Green Waste & Commercial Waste

Lindner Expands its Urraco Range with the New Urraco ECO

Lindner Recyclingtech has expanded its range of mobile shredding technology with the launch of the Lindner Urraco ECO, a new mobile twin-shaft shredder developed for businesses looking for reliable, cost-effective processing without requiring the heavy-duty capabilities of the Urraco EVO range.

Designed primarily for waste wood, green waste and commercial waste, the Urraco ECO brings proven Lindner shredding technology into a machine specifically engineered around lower operating costs, straightforward maintenance and dependable performance.

For waste and recycling businesses across the UK and Ireland, the Urraco ECO provides an exciting new option for primary shredding and volume reduction applications.

As the sole distributor of Lindner shredders across the UK and Ireland, Mach Tech Services can provide customers with access to the latest Lindner technology alongside specialist application advice, installation, servicing, genuine parts and long-term engineering support.

What is the Lindner Urraco ECO?

The Lindner Urraco ECO is a mobile twin-shaft shredder developed as an entry-level machine within Lindner’s premium Urraco range.

Rather than simply producing a lower-powered version of an existing machine, Lindner has developed the ECO around the requirements of applications that don’t necessarily need a heavy-duty shredder.

Following the introduction of the Urraco EVO series for demanding heavy-duty applications, the Urraco ECO takes a different approach.

It combines proven elements of Lindner’s Urraco technology with what the manufacturer describes as “smart simplification”, resulting in a robust mobile shredder focused on long service life, application-specific performance and reduced overall operating costs.

That makes it particularly relevant for recycling companies, waste management businesses, biomass producers and local authorities looking for a high-quality mobile shredding solution without investing in unnecessary capacity.

What Materials Can the Urraco ECO Shred?

The Urraco ECO has been developed around three core waste streams:

Waste Wood

The Urraco ECO is designed to process all classes of waste wood, making it a potential solution for businesses handling timber and wood-based waste.

Applications could include waste wood from recycling operations, timber processing and material destined for further processing or biomass applications.

Green Waste

Green waste can be bulky and difficult to transport or process efficiently without effective size reduction.

The Urraco ECO provides operators with a mobile solution for shredding green material and reducing its volume before subsequent processing.

Commercial Waste

Commercial waste streams can contain a varied mix of materials and require reliable equipment capable of maintaining consistent throughput.

The Urraco ECO’s twin-shaft shredding concept makes it suitable for pre-shredding and volume reduction of commercial waste.

Mobile Twin-Shaft Shredding Technology

The Urraco name is already well established within the waste and recycling industry.

Lindner’s mobile Urraco shredders use a slow-speed twin-shaft shredding principle, designed to provide aggressive material intake and dependable processing across challenging applications. Mach Tech already supplies and supports the wider Urraco range in the UK and Ireland.

The new ECO extends that concept to customers whose applications don’t require the capabilities of a heavy-duty machine.

The result is a mobile shredder designed around the actual demands of waste wood, green waste and commercial waste processing.

Lower Operating Costs

Purchase price is only one part of the cost of running an industrial shredder.

Fuel consumption, wear, servicing, maintenance requirements and downtime can all have a significant impact on the total cost of ownership throughout a machine’s working life.

That’s an area Lindner has specifically targeted with the Urraco ECO.

According to Lindner, the Urraco ECO can deliver an operating-cost reduction of up to 30%.

For UK recycling operators processing large volumes of material, reductions in operating costs can make a significant difference over the lifetime of a machine.

It also reinforces an important principle when selecting shredding equipment: bigger isn’t always better.

The right shredder should be selected around the material, required throughput, output specification and wider operation.

Designed for Easier Maintenance

Every hour a shredder isn’t operating can have a knock-on effect across a recycling facility.

That’s why serviceability has also been an important consideration in the development of the Urraco ECO.

The machine combines Lindner’s Skyflap with a fast-exchange system, enabling the complete cutting system to be replaced in under 2.5 hours, according to Lindner.

This approach can help make scheduled maintenance more efficient and reduce the time required to carry out major cutting-system changes.

For operators, easier access and faster maintenance can contribute towards improved machine availability and lower lifetime operating costs.

Built for Businesses That Don’t Need a Heavy-Duty Shredder

One of the most interesting aspects of the Urraco ECO is where it sits within the Lindner range.

Not every waste processing operation requires the largest or most powerful shredder available.

For businesses processing waste wood, green waste and commercial waste, investing in more machine than the application requires can mean unnecessary capital and operating expenditure.

The Urraco ECO has therefore been designed for customers looking for:

• Reliable mobile shredding
• Efficient waste volume reduction
• Waste wood processing
• Green waste processing
• Commercial waste shredding
• Lower fuel consumption
• Straightforward maintenance
• Reduced operating costs
• Proven Lindner build quality

Lindner says the machine is particularly relevant for customers entering resource management as well as municipal waste organisations and operators looking to process materials reliably without moving into heavy-duty shredding equipment.

Urraco ECO vs Urraco EVO: What’s the Difference?

The Urraco ECO and Urraco EVO have been designed around different operational requirements.

The Urraco EVO range is positioned towards more demanding, heavy-duty shredding applications.

The Urraco ECO, by contrast, has been optimised for applications such as waste wood, green waste and commercial waste where operators still want the reliability and engineering associated with Lindner but don’t necessarily require a heavy-duty machine.

Choosing between them shouldn’t simply come down to which machine has the greatest power or capacity.

It should start with your material.

At Mach Tech, we look at factors including:

Material → Volume → Required Throughput → Required Output → Operating Environment → Downstream Process

From there, we can recommend the Lindner shredder best suited to the application.

The Right Shredder Can Reduce Your Cost Per Tonne

For waste processors, shredder performance isn’t simply about how quickly material disappears into the hopper.

Ultimately, the machine needs to make commercial sense.

Factors including fuel consumption, wear rates, maintenance requirements, uptime, throughput and component life can all influence the cost per tonne of processed material.

Selecting a machine appropriately matched to the application can therefore have a significant impact on the efficiency and profitability of an operation.

This is precisely where the Urraco ECO could become an attractive proposition for UK waste and recycling companies that need reliable mobile shredding without the operating requirements of a larger heavy-duty machine.
