Lindner to Show its Expertise at IFAT Munich 2026
In line with its theme “Ready for the future of your business”, Austria-based company Lindner will be at IFAT, focusing on future-oriented solutions that specifically align with current challenges in the sector. “The recycling sector is under enormous cost pressure: Rising energy prices, volatile raw material markets, and higher recycling quotas increase the requirements on efficiency and cost-effectiveness. At the same time, material flows are becoming more complex, and there is a growing risk of fire from lithium-ion batteries, which further tighten the requirements on process reliability and plant technology,” Matthias Egarter, CEO at Lindner, is quoted. The recycling company faces these challenges with smart plant engineering and innovative shredder technology.
At IFAT Munich, Lindner aims to demonstrate how modern recycling plants produce high-quality, marketable reusable fractions from complex waste streams. The company’s services would cover the entire project cycle from consulting and engineering to technical implementation with controlled risk minimization to commissioning and servicing. In plastics recycling, for example, the Austrian engineering firm focuses on comprehensive systems that combine engineering, shredding, sorting, and washing. More than 200 washing plants and components installed worldwide demonstrate this. The technology partnership between Lindner Washtech and the extruder manufacturer Erema – co-exhibiting with Lindner at IFAT – would also mean that the extrusion process is integrated. In this way, complete solutions from feedstock to the final recyclate can be delivered. “The core value proposition is also in the consistent optimization of all process steps along the entire added value chain,” the company underscored.
The fourth-generation Micromat: This series is established globally as a reliable solution for shredding plastics. The fourth-generation Micromat has built on the proven strengths of Series III, with added upgrades that improve both maintenance and productivity
New products
As one of the leading providers of recycling technology, Lindner will also present its latest shredding products. Interested parties can inform themselves about the new Urraco Evo series. “The mobile twin-shaft shredder was specifically developed for demanding heavy-duty applications and combines impressive power, a quick-change function, and Lindner’s proven shaft versatility,” the company described the benefits. “In addition to wood, domestic and commercial waste, as well as plastics, there is a conscious focus on applications such as scrap metal, mixed scrap, and aluminum. Visitors can see the Urraco Evo at Lindner’s outdoor exhibition space FM/708/2 and in action as part of the VDMA demonstration days (VDMA Praxistage). There will also be a demonstration of the Merak 2800. Not the established model with its electric drive, but an additional Merak series with a new drive concept.”
New is also the fourth generation of its Micromat series. The heart of this series is a synchronous reluctance motor that achieves an energy efficiency class of IE6, offering more than 97 percent efficiency, the information said. Moreover, “the new multicut rotor enables flexible operation for a wide range of materials – from plastic, wood, commercial and domestic waste to textiles – and reduces maintenance effort and downtime thanks to its rapid-change knife system”.
