Doppstadt to unveil two shredders

Doppstadt, Velbert, Germany, plans to launch two new models to its slow-speed shredder line at IFAT 2020, which takes place in Munich. Both models, the Inventhor Type 6 and Methor, are in line with they company’s “Smart Solutions” concept: mobile, modular machines that can be used cost effectively and flexibly in a variety of areas of application, the company reports in a news release on its new shredder models.

Designed for efficiency

The Inventhor Type 6, the successor to the DW 3060, is ready to “set new standards of use” in the recycling industry, according to Doppstadt. The entire machine concept has been optimized for economic efficiency, ease of use, good accessibility and minimized downtime. 

The VarioDirect Drive forms the core technology that combines high throughput, low fuel consumption and optimum startup performance even with difficult shredding jobs, Doppstadt reports. The shredder can handle a wide range of applications in the area of preshredding as a result of its configurable shredding system with easy-to-replace teeth that are available in size M and L, including limiters. 

According to Doppstadt, placing Doppstadt’s Selector 800 with SWS 800 spiral shaft screening deck, the company’s separation solution, directly in line after the Inventhor Type 6 results in an ideal machine combination to allow for the inline generation of a finished product. Also, presettable material programs support the operation of the Inventhor Type 6. 

Quality for small volume flows

Doppstadt reports that its Methor leverages the advantages of the company’s high-performance technology for smaller volume flows, monobatches or special materials, and the machine is geared toward maximum flexibility. The Methor shredding system can be switched over within 60 minutes. It is ideal for jobs with smaller volumes of materials or frequently changing tasks. 

Similar to the Inventhor Type 6, this shredder can be optimally combined as part of more complex systems with other Smart Solutions from Doppstadt, such as the Selector 400 with the SWS 400 spiral shaft screening deck. 

The Methor’s shredding shaft ensures high process reliability and processes material directly in the conveying direction of the rear belt, Doppstadt reports. With the Methor, the Hydraulic Direct Drive provides the best regulated output in conjunction with the unique load-controlled material feed by a tipping hopper. The company reports that this ensures the machine always works within the optimum utilization of the shredding unit capacity. 

The drive system also reacts quickly to blockages so that the machine protects itself. The internal components are easy to access and optimally cooled as a result of large ventilation openings. 

At the time of the product launch, the machine is powered using diesel engine technology, but the line will be expanded to include an electric drive option. In addition, the Methor is available as a stationary version as well as a carrier version for use with hooklift or on a track-mounted chassis. Also, the Methor can be connected via WiFi to any smartphone, laptop or tablet that is internet-enabled and has a browser installed regardless of the operating system.
