Who would have thought that recycling mattresses could be so challenging? Our INVENTHOR 6.2 tackles this task effortlessly: up to 200 mattresses shredded per hour, valuable ferrous metals recovered, and the final product is perfectly suited for further processing as a substitute fuel. Thanks to its cleaning program, the INVENTHOR operates smoothly and without interruptions — an efficient and sustainable recycling solution.
The disposal and recycling of mattresses present a significant challenge due to their complex material composition. Especially innerspring mattresses contain metal components that complicate the shredding process. Additionally, various types of foam and fabric coverings are difficult to separate. Despite these challenges, recycling mattresses offers enormous potential for recovering valuable raw materials while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. Our INVENTHOR 6.2 has proven to be the ideal solution for efficiently and profitably handling this demanding task.
Powerful Shredding with the DoppBasket
With its advanced shredding technology, the INVENTHOR 6.2 enables continuous processing of approximately 200 mattresses per hour. The key to this success? Our new DoppBasket system with the comb basket in use. The comb basket ensures precise shredding of the material, enabling efficient processing. Particularly, the recovery of metallic components (FE fraction) such as steel from innerspring mattresses is handled efficiently by the INVENTHOR 6.2. The metal can be further used as a valuable secondary raw material.
Cleaning Program for Maximum Efficiency
Another highlight of the INVENTHOR 6.2 is its integrated cleaning program, which automatically removes contaminants and metal wrappings from the rotor without requiring manual intervention. This allows for uninterrupted operation and significantly boosts productivity. Clogs and material buildups, which frequently cause downtime in conventional shredding machines, are no longer an issue. The rotor remains clean continuously, enhancing not only the machine’s efficiency but also its longevity.
Uniform Output Product for Use as Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF)
One major advantage of shredding with the INVENTHOR 6.2 is the uniform and high-quality end product, which is ideally suited for further use as refuse-derived fuel (RDF). The different materials, such as foams and textile fibers, are shredded in a way that enables their use as a high-calorific fuel. The INVENTHOR 6.2 thus contributes not only to efficient raw material recovery but also plays a valuable role in waste reduction and landfill conservation.
