Recycling Hard Plastics, Electrical and Electronic Waste with UNTHA

16 Sep 2025  |
Group Demain, based in France, recycles over 22,000 tonnes of hard plastics, electrical and electronic waste every year. The company opted for UNTHA ZR2400H and XR2000C shredders for its two processing lines. The company previously used an UNTHA RS100. When the company decided to expand its capacity and invest in two new plants, UNTHA was once again the first choice.

The UNTHA ZR2400H is used to process vacuum cleaners, fitness equipment, washing machines and garden tools, among other things. The H-cutting system ensures efficient pre-shredding of the material to a grain size of less than 300 mm. The shredder can process up to 10 tonnes per hour. A XR2000C is used for shredding hard plastics.

It is operated alternately with two different perforated screens to process different materials. Depending on the material and the perforated screen used, the XR2000C can shred 3-14 tonnes per hour.

The C-cutting system is equipped with two rows of knives and has been additionally welded to prevent wear. Both shredders are used as pre-shredders at the beginning of the processing lines. They ensure optimum material breakdown, which enables subsequent sorting and further processing.
