Untha currently has 10 waste-to-energy plants in operation and reports indicate that Poland is starting to push back on poor quality foreign waste imports, in favor of smarter waste handling processes. Sales of Untha shredders appear to mirror this trend, with three of the Austrian giant’s largest four shaft shredders having been shipped to bolster heavy duty recycling projects in the metal scrap sectors.
Untha’s inaugural technology tour in Poland will allow operators to trial the XR machine using their own materials.
Suitable for turning municipal solid waste, commercial and industrial, bulky, hazardous, production and textile waste into refuse derived fuel and solid recovered fuel in a single pass, the ability to get hands on with the XR could prove a further turning point for the industry, as Untha’s head of global sales, Peter Streinik, believes.
Streinik indicated an altered demand for their shredding technology in 2019. As a result, their predicted order status appears strong, with additional waste projects also on the horizon.
The company plans to invest in the Untha Poland team’s readiness with an emphasis on engineering in the recruitment arena.
