Discarded mattresses are one of the most difficult waste streams to process. Their bulky construction, steel springs, foam and textiles make them challenging to handle efficiently, often taking up valuable storage space and increasing transportation and disposal costs.
At Mach Tech Services, we help waste management companies overcome these challenges with industry-leading Lindner Recyclingtech shredding solutions. As the sole distributor of Lindner Recyclingtech in the UK & Ireland, we supply robust machinery capable of transforming bulky mattress waste into a valuable recyclable resource.
Why Mattress Recycling Matters
Millions of mattresses reach the end of their life every year, placing increasing pressure on waste processors and recycling facilities.
Without the right equipment, mattresses can:
- Occupy excessive storage space
- Slow down processing operations
- Increase transport costs
- Damage or reduce the efficiency of unsuitable machinery
- Limit material recovery opportunities
An efficient shredding solution enables operators to separate valuable materials such as steel, foam, timber and textiles for recycling while significantly reducing waste volume.
The Lindner Urraco 75DK, Built for Mattress Shredding
The Lindner Urraco 75DK has been specifically programmed to process mattresses continuously, delivering exceptional throughput, fuel efficiency and reliability.
During extensive on-site trials, the Urraco 75DK demonstrated exactly why it has become one of the industry’s leading mobile shredders.
Proven Performance
The Mach Tech demonstration machine successfully processed:
- More than 2,500 mattresses
- Across three 9.5-hour shifts
- Fuel consumption of just 29–30 litres per hour
This outstanding performance proved the machine could maintain continuous production while keeping operating costs under control.
Real-World Success
Following a successful demonstration, McGrath Group, one of London’s leading waste management and recycling companies, invested in the Lindner Urraco to process approximately:
- 90% mattress waste
- 10% wood waste
Already operating several Lindner stationary shredders, including the Jupiter primary shredder and Komet secondary shredder, McGrath Group recognised the value of adding the Urraco to its recycling operation.
Demonstrated Speed and Throughput
During another demonstration at Warren Farm in Hampshire, the Urraco 75DK continued to impress.
The machine processed:
- 122 mattresses
- In just 58 minutes
- An average of one mattress every 28.5 seconds
Throughout the demonstration, the shredder operated continuously without interruption, highlighting the reliability and performance that waste processors expect from Lindner equipment.
