Today we show you how the INVENTHOR 6 Plus shreds railway sleepers with ease. Our machine proved itself during a customer visit and we are delighted with the results! The requirements were clearly defined: To separate the metal fittings from the railway sleepers and to shred the main fraction, waste wood, to a grain size of 0 - 350 mm.
Our machine was perfectly equipped for this task:
The railway sleepers we process are fitted with metal fittings and weigh about 120 kg per sleeper, of which 20 kg is iron.
The INVENTHOR 6 Plus is equipped with a robust 15-tooth shaft and special, hard-faced L 150 shaft teeth. No limiters have been installed for this application. In addition, we have used a 2t overband magnet to separate the metal from the sleepers.
The results are impressive! Our machine easily shreds an average of 350 railway sleepers per hour, which corresponds to a capacity of 42 tonnes per hour. In the process, 7 tonnes of metal (20 kg of iron per railway sleeper) are efficiently separated and discharged. The fuel consumption is only 25 litres per hour.
In this video we show you the process in action. You will see how the hopper of the INVENTHOR 6 Plus is properly loaded with the railway sleepers and how it shreds them effortlessly. We also take a look at the machine's outstanding separation power and smooth operation. Be impressed by its performance!
