Shredder system from Pronar for processing wood
The MRW 2.1010 shredder system from Pronar, supplied by C. Christophel GmbH from Lübeck/Duisburg, is the optimum solution for processing wood for Dowideit Erden GmbH from Wustermark. The powerful shredder enables the company to efficiently shred even large and resistant materials. This not only reduces costs, but also increases operational productivity and optimises work processes.
A 6 m3 bucket of a wheel loader unloads a massive load of logs and rootstocks onto the shredder shafts of the Pronar MRW 2.1010. Thomas Dowideit, owner and managing director of Dowideit Erden, looks at the discharge conveyor with a certain amount of scepticism and says: “I can hardly imagine that this amount will get through without any problems.” The company operates a site for processing wood in the municipality of Wustermark near Berlin. A variety of products are processed there: from green waste to root wood and waste wood. While green waste and root wood are mainly used for composting, the remainder is processed for combined heat and power plants. “I‘m always happy to put my trust in Peter Homann, the Christophel sales representative responsible for processing. With his many years of experience in processing technology, he always has a suitable solution at the ready,” explains Thomas Dowideit. The co-operation between Dowideit Erden and Christophel goes back many years and is based on mutual trust and respect.
The MRW 2.1010 shredder from Pronar is a reliable machine that has also been developed for shredding waste wood, construction and commercial waste. With an output of 700 HP and two shafts, each 2.5 m long and each generating a torque of 250 000 Nm, it offers impressive power. This concentrated energy makes it possible to shred even the largest and most resistant materials at a high throughput rate. Each shaft is equipped with ten tool carriers, which in turn are fitted with ten tools. Thanks to its high throughput capacity, the MRW 2.1010 is able to process large quantities of material in a short time and seamlessly integrate them into the subsequent production process. This leads to increased operational productivity and optimised work processes. Depending on the nature of the material, the system can be fed with either a 6 m³ wheel loader or an excavator with grab. In both cases, the equipment is fully utilised to avoid unnecessary and costly waiting times. Thomas Dowideit looks excitedly at the 1500 mm wide discharge conveyor. While the bucket is still being emptied, a rich stream of material flows across the entire width of the belt. The impressive power of the machine cannot be overlooked, and it is obvious that expectations have been more than fulfilled. “The throughput of this line clearly exceeds anything we‘ve seen before. Ultimately, it‘s all about the cost per tonne, and in this respect this model is unrivalled in its class so far,” says Peter Homann. Thomas Dowideit nods in agreement and emphasises the importance of cost-effectiveness: “We are firmly convinced that the most powerful system is also the most cost-effective for us.” He also emphasises that this decision was made after thorough testing: “We tried out various machines and found that the Pronar MRW 2.1010 best meets our requirements.”
