New Universal Shredder –
completely redesigned
BHS-Sonthofen unveiled the new Universal Shredder of type NGU at IFAT 2016. This new product
extends the company’s range of single-shaft shredders by a machine designed for conventional recy-
cling facilities and use in the manufacturing industry. It is generally suitable for all materials that can
be cut and is characterized by a sturdy design, easy operation and high availability. The new Univer-
sal Shredder is available in several versions – for example with a screen perforation of 30 mm –
for a throughput of 6.5 t/h and more.
The new Universal Shredder of type NGU is designed for
shredding almost all materials that can be cut, such as paper,
files, data media, wood, plastics or packaging
The new Universal Shredder of type
NGU shreds the loaded material to a
size between 20 and 100 mm. It can be
used at conventional recyclers for shred-
ding various materials, for example, for
cutting paper and paper rolls, for de-
stroying files and data media, as well as
for almost all plastic
parts, leather and textiles, residual
wood, cables or parts made from PET.
It is also suitable for production compa-
nies that generate large volumes of
waste. In this field of application, it size
reduces the material so it can be pro-
cessed further at the same facility or to
facilitate transportation to the treat-
ment company. A typical application in-
volves plastic barrels, which are
collected centrally at one location in a
company and then shred in order to re-
duce the transport costs for further pro-
cessing.
Dennis Kemmann, Managing Director
of BHS-Sonthofen GmbH, has comple-
tely redesigned the machine with his
team: “Our aim is for our customers to
achieve the lowest possible processing
costs per ton. Before getting down to
the design, we asked many users what
