ANDRITZ UNIVERSAL SHREDDER FRP – THE RIGHT FIT

AB Hilmer Andersson already had knowledge of ANDRITZ through its recent acquisition of Franssons, a company that has a long history in the wood processing industry. After looking around at a number of other suppliers, it was decided that the very latest ANDRITZ Universal Shredder FRP would be exactly the right fit for what was needed at the sawmill.

The FRP has the very latest in innovative technology from ANDRITZ and has a very high throughput, up to 10-12 t/h, even though it is a slow-rotating shredder. The FRP shredder works using 74 knives arranged into two rows. The system will process wood waste from offcuts from the saw mill, shredding it into chips, which are finally used as biomass for heat generation.

The single-shaft shredder processes the material in one step to the granulate size of 60 mm and importantly even shreds large logs into manageable pieces.

 “The FRP is perfect for all our waste; the offcuts from the sawmill come in via a conveyor, and any other waste around the mill can be picked up by forklift truck and dropped into the shredder from above. Also, the built quality is so robust that we don’t have to worry about the odd stone or pieces of metal as the shredder is designed to cope with all sorts of different, hard, or tough materials. It also has an extremely quiet operation, even when running at full capacity.”
