UNTHA presents new product – Power Core

UNTHA shredding technology presents its latest product development: the UNTHA Power Core – an innovative power generator for the autonomous operation of the XR and ZR shredders. UNTHA's industrial shredders are characterized by reliability and the highest quality. They can be customized and are suitable for a wide range of applications. With the support of the Power Core, customers gain even more flexibility when using the shredders.

Industrial shredders play a key role in the sensible recycling of waste materials and returning raw materials to the recycling cycle. Many companies pursue economic and sustainable goals when selecting new investments, including machines that are as economical and efficient as possible, low emissions and noise levels, and high user-friendliness. Thanks to their electric drive – the Eco Power Drive – UNTHA shredders are particularly energy-efficient and cost-effective. Companies that previously had to dispense with this technology due to a lack of power connections can now make the switch quickly and easily with the Power Core.

 

Maximum flexibility

"The Power Core was developed to give our customers even more flexibility in using our shredders. With the help of the Power Core, the XR and ZR shredders can be powered independently without compromising on performance. We also see the Power Core as a ground breaker for the electrification of companies, as it facilitates the switch to our purely electric drive systems," says Markus Eibl, Product Manager at UNTHA.

The Power Core is suitable for a wide variety of scenarios:

• As a rental model to bridge the gap until the local power infrastructure is available. This facilitates the switch to electrically powered shredding solutions.
• When the shredder needs to be operated flexibly at different locations – even in places without a fixed power supply.
• For temporary use, such as when a shredder is rented, for example, for short-term capacity expansion or as part of live demonstrations. UNTHA provides a complete package consisting of a shredder and a power unit.

Perfectly matched

The Power Core has been precisely tailored to the requirements of the XR and ZR shredders. Thanks to its intelligent, adaptive control system, it automatically adjusts its output to the energy requirements of the shredder, thus always ensuring energy-efficient operation. UNTHA's Power Core is characterized by high dynamics and power density, which means that the entire unit can be designed to be very compact. Compared to conventional generators for shredders of this size, the Power Core is significantly more compact and requires less fuel. With the UNTHA Power Core, fuel savings of 20 to 25 % are possible. The integrated fuel tank ensures a continuous power supply to the shredder for a running time of 25 hours. An external auxiliary tank can be connected for even longer, uninterrupted operation.

Features of the Power Core

Thanks to various transport options, the Power Core can be moved and positioned flexibly. This provides users with maximum flexibility when selecting the location for their operation. The shredder and Power Core can also be connected quickly and easily using the Power Lock System. The new unit has also been integrated into the MyUNTHA customer portal. This allows users to track all activities – of the Power Core and the shredder – in real time. UNTHA GENIUS processes this data and helps to optimize processes.

The UNTHA Power Core stands for responsible use of energy. It complies with the strict EPA Final Tier 4 / EU Stage V emission standards and thus actively contributes to reducing emissions. This makes it particularly suitable for use in sensitive environments and contributes positively to environmentally and user-friendly working practices.

 

Convincing practical application

“The new Power Core has already proven its strength and efficiency in numerous live demonstrations. Its ease of placement and quick setup were particularly appreciated,” says Clemens Jäger, Sales Representative at UNTHA. “The compact design facilitates transport, while the integrated tank and supply system ensures smooth operation.”

The Power Core will be presented to the general public for the first time at the trade fair RecyclingAKTIV 2025 in Germany. There, it will be in live operation together with an XR3000RC mobile-e to demonstrate the shredding of waste wood. UNTHA will also be the only company at the trade fair with an electrically powered shredder.
