A family-run Polcopper (S4F) team was so impressed with the technological advancement of a 37-tonne mobile tyre shredding machine that had journeyed around 1000km from Untha's innovation center in Salzburg, Austria to Śmigiel. It was a demonstration unit that blew the minds of the team which resulted in them purchasing that particular unit.
During the test period, the team put the mobile tyre shredding machine XR3000C Mobil-e through various tests such as shredding copper cables at a pace of 21 tonnes per hour. They managed to churn out astonishing figures- 25 tonnes per hour when shredding auto interiors. However, they were concerned about shredding tyres which later proved to be a silly concern since the machine shredded tyres with ease.
Polcopper (S4F) shredded large volumes of car and truck tyres, per hour, with a 90mm screen. And having now invested in the machine on a permanent basis, the business hopes to continually transform end-of-life tyres for recycling or energy recovery.

Commenting on the investment, Untha Polska’s business development manager Taner Topcu said: “There are currently more than 200 XR waste shredders in operation globally, and many customers opt for the mobile version due to the added flexibility it offers. But Polcopper (S4F) has proven its reputation as an industry ground-breaker, by being the first company in Poland to invest in this world-renowned machine.
“We know that ‘seeing is believing’ and this trial evidenced this. Polcopper (S4F) colleagues were able to experience our slow-speed, high performance single shaft shredder in action, and they could see how easy it was to switch applications and achieve different output sizes according to customer specifications. They could hear that it ran with low noise too, which is particularly important as operators strive to better protect employee health and safety. And they could speak to our own engineers about the purposefully-designed low maintenance and energy efficiency of the machine.”
Mr Piotr Rusiecki, the owner of Polcopper (S4F) elaborated: “I decided to buy the Untha XR as this machine is one of the few on the market which is mobile and universally capable of processing a range of materials – usually in one pass operation without pre-treatment.”
