The best in terms of operation.

With the innovatively designed touch screen display, Lindemann sets standards as far as the control system and maintenance are concerned: Ergonomic graphic representations, process data visualization and online help are provided in a language of your choice. A series of optimized programs ensures excellent productivity even with difficult material. In addition, the operating data can also be displayed on remote computers.

High performance in figures:

• Production capacity: Up to 87 tonnes per hour
• Shearing force: 800 to 1600 tonnes
• Blade width: 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm or 1500mm
• Stamper force: 250 to 480 tonnes
• Side compression: 250 to 500 tonnes
• Lid compression (middle): 270 to 545 tonnes
• Pusher force: 120 tonnes
• Feeding bed length: 6m, 8m or 10m
• Electric drive: 3 - 8 x 90kW

The best in terms of throughput capacity per Euro.

When it’s a matter of making maximum use of the shearing force and installed driving power while working efficiently and saving energy, the EtaCut can’t be beaten. It can perform the most cutting strokes per minute worldwide and, referred to the shearing force per tonne, is the world champion in terms of throughput capacity.

The best in terms of compaction.

This goes without saying for the EtaCut: Side press and lid operate with over-stroke to achieve low-wear operation. The shear operator has ideal control when compacting the scrap. The optimized kinematics of the side press and the press lid ensure that maximum forces are available when needed, i.e., at the end of the compacting process.

The best in terms of cutting technology.

Depending on the type of scrap, the breaker bar at the blade slide can increase the cutting capacity by up to 30 percent compared to other designs, while using the same amount of energy. Hard and brittle scrap breaks when being bent and does not come in contact with the upper blade, resulting in increased service life of the blades. The integrated supporting table ensures that shorter pieces of scrap are also cut and do not slide out of the shear without being processed. The adjustable prismatic guide of the blade slide and the optimized shock relief damper ensure reliable and low-wear operation.

It takes a lot of hard work to earn the title “World market leader”. We have had this since 1956.

EtaCut: The name for highest manufacturing quality.

The Greek letter η (Eta), the symbol for efficiency in terms of technology, stands symbolically for the extremely high effectiveness and low life-cycle costs of our EtaCut scrap shears. These are reflected in the increased processing flexibility, the low specific energy consumption, the increased operational safety, and the simplified maintenance.

Whatever it is you value most about German high-class workmanship –

you can be sure that this perfection and attention to each and every detail is reflected in the EtaCut from Metso. Numerous technical innovations that have been setting standards for hydraulic scrap shears in the recycling field for decades, have been invented and further refined at the Düsseldorf works. And our inventiveness remains undiminished: With the current EtaCut generation, we are constantly setting new milestones, which our customers acknowledge with increasing order placement.

We understand your business.

Our developments are aligned towards optimizing process chains and supporting your business. For us, the EtaCut is not just a shear, but a solution that, to date, has been sold more than 120 times worldwide. Therefore, we place the highest value on manufacturing quality and reliability, because we know that a machine breakdown will cost our customer’s money. This attention to quality has given the EtaCut an almost legendary name that is reflected, not least, in the resale value.

EtaCut: Less downtime, simplified maintenance and higher speed

The best in terms of reducing downtimes.

The PLC control system automatically performs pump and cylinder tests: As a result, any defects can be detected at an early stage and signalled at the operating terminal. Maintenance intervals can be better planned and the necessary measures efficiently taken. The bolted-on wear plates of highly wear-resistant Lindur contribute to the excellent availability; downtime during replacement is reduced by about a half.

The best in terms of simplified maintenance.

The hydraulic blade tensioning device continuously monitors the upper and lower blades for correct positioning and automatically corrects the blade tension, if necessary. Manual checking and tightening are virtually dispensed with. This leads to 50% less downtimes when replacing, as well as increased operational safety.

The best in terms of speed optimization.

Available only with Lindemann: The oil-transfer control system whereby the hydraulic oil from the return line of a cylinder is conveyed directly into another cylinder that operates in the low-pressure range in order to increase the speed of operation. The cycle times are reduced and the energy consumed, utilized to an optimum degree.
