That’s where the Tuytel Group is based and where it has been renting out heavy construction machinery as well as offering transport solutions and recycling machines in the Netherlands and all across Europe since 1999. In the matter of machines for processing waste wood, the company relies on Lindner‘s robust solutions, supplied and supported by Dutch sales partner Van der Spek Vianen B.V.

At the beginning of 2020, a system solution consisting of the Urraco 95DK shredder and a Zeta Star 95DK star screen was added to a fleet that has been home to two mobile twin-shaft shredders of the Urraco 75 series for quite some time. ‘As a heavy equipment rental company we focus specifically on premium machines from top European brands. We have to offer our clients solutions with maximum reliability and the lowest possible maintenance costs,’ explains Jan Arie van der Meijden, responsible for Tuytel Group’s recycling division. And adds: ‘When purchasing a new waste wood processing solution, we looked at different technical equipment on the market. In the end we came back to Lindner. Our experiences with our two Urracos have been fantastic, but the sturdy welded cutting system and the exact output size were the deciding factors. With a throughput of approximately 65 metric tons/hour, the shredding unit endures high loads. We do not want our customers to have to retighten or even replace the knives every 80 hours. The Urraco 95DK shredder easily operates 600 to 700 hours without intervention and does so with a clean output and no great anomalies.’

Tuytel processes waste wood of the Dutch grades A, B and C, but mainly category B waste wood, i.e. waste wood that is not contaminated by wood preservatives or organohalogen substances. The company offers its customers the Urraco 95DK as a single-step processing solution for particle sizes of 90% <180 mm. The machine is equipped with Lindner’s patented LW cutting system, which was specifically developed for waste wood processing. Furthermore, by using Lindner’s Zeta Star 95DK star screen, finer fractions can be produced up to a particle size of P100 according to ISO standard 17225-1. Tuytel also provides the option of renting the machines with an operator. The majority of the processed waste wood is shipped and ultimately used for energy recovery. ‘In addition to the precisely defined output, it is extremely important to our clients that the rented solution can also be operated at high productivity. That’s where our Lindner machines give us a crucial advantage with their ease of operation and very long maintenance intervals. This means the operator can focus on feeding the machine and the shredder takes care of the rest,’ summarises van der Meijden.

When combined with the VHZ single-shaft shredder, it can increase throughput by up to 50%.

With its large and powerful single-shaft shredders, Vecoplan offers efficient solutions for reliably processing voluminous wooden items such as pallets in continuous operation. However, until now, a larger VAZ series machine had to be used for large and bulky items – and this also required a correspondingly larger installation area than the new combined solution with the VHZ 1600 and VPC 1600. “In addition to the large amount of space required, there’s also another point to consider – the throughput is relatively low if we feed these pallets directly to a shredder,” says Ralf Rosenkranz, Area Sales Manager for Vecoplan’s Wood | Biomass division. The reason for this is that “a lot of air is between the material“ due to the design of the pallets with their spaced boards and skids, so the shredding process takes a relatively long time.

There has been a considerable increase in the demands placed upon material and distribution centres in particular and on American DIY stores that often use disposable pallets – and this is why the machine manufacturing company from the Westerwald decided to develop an efficient pre-shredder, the Vecoplan VPC 1600 pallet crusher. “We set ourselves the goal of increasing throughput capacity by up to 50% for the shredding of bulky pallets and even large boxes – and we have achieved that goal,” says Rosenkranz. These items are crushed, not cut in the VPC. This creates enormous advantages in the shredding process, and the customer benefits from reduced quantities of wearing parts

With its working width of 1,600 millimetres, the 800 millimetre-high VPC fits exactly onto the VHZ. A sliding frame connects the shredder and the pre-shredder. The VPC is permanently fixed during operation. For example, if the machine or plant operator has to change the counter-knives in the shredder, he can easily move the 5.5-tonne VPC. “A crane would have been too time-consuming and costly,” says Rosenkranz.

The filler port of the new pre-shredder measures 1,605 x 1,605 millimetres and the drive power is 2 x 9.2 kilowatts. Sixteen counter-crushers have been integrated into the machine and it also has two independently running rotors, each with a speed of ten revolutions per minute. “If an over-torque occurs briefly during operation, the two rotors can reverse

The new FRP shredder, type 2000P, will be used to shred the rejects from the production process and is capable of processing up to four tons of wood rejects per hour. A special cutting technology is required to handle this very solid and hard laminated wood.

The Universal Shredder FRP includes a so-called CoverCross system with overlapping knives, guaranteeing uniform breakdown of the input material. In addition, the rotor rotates continuously to ensure high throughput and maximum efficiency. The scope of delivery also includes the input hopper.

Setra, one of Sweden’s largest wood product companies with about 800 employees, operates eight sawmills and three processing facilities. The company processes raw materials from responsibly managed forests and offers climate-friendly products and solutions for the building and furniture/interiors industries in the global market.
