Sustainability Today is delighted to award Mach Tech Services with our coveted Recycling Shredders Company of the Month Award for outstanding waste recycling shredders.
Mach Tech Services was founded in 2004 by Managing Director, Joe Hoyle, Operating Director, David Ingham, and the late Colin Wood, as a service company for industrial shredding machinery. One of its partnerships is with Austrian company Lindner Recyclingtech; this leading specialist business offers award-winning Lindner machines to recycling industry sectors. Mach Tech can supply static shredders, plants and mobile shredders to businesses.
The waste recycling sector is under scrutiny as the UK moves rapidly towards a more sustainable future. Plastic film made of polyethylene and polypropylene is often the villain in recycling, with its short product life cycle accounting for at least 40% of global waste. There is a need for efficient, robust plastic recycling and the latest Lindner Jupiter BW shredder is the best model on the market: the Superhero of shredders.
Showcasing the Lindner Jupiter BW at the K 2022 Düsseldorf Expo, Lindner Recyclingtech proudly demonstrated the shredder’s prowess to interested delegates. The latest Jupiter series expertly handles plastic film recycling for downstream NIR sorting processes. This primary shredder has a powerful countershaft drive that releases powerful rotational energy, meaning less overall energy is consumed. This precision-driven machine has a long service life, with minimal maintenance costs, making this a smart investment. With robust duo cutting counter knives and scrapers cutting plastic film into A4/A3 sizes, this is a state-of-the-art shredder for rigid plastic films. The new Jupiter BW is fitted with mesh screens, easily accessible for manually adjusting to different sizes.
Mach Tech has an impressive 27,000ft2 facility at its headquarters in Oldham, Greater Manchester. The premises has a world-leading parts facility, storing everything from nuts, bolts, washers to cutting tools.
