Solution
As a recycling specialist and technology leader in scrap recy-
cling a long term partnership has developed between Wiederke-
hr Recycling AG and Liebherr Baumaschinen AG. Since the be-
ginning of this year the new electric stationary material handler
EP 944 C operates at Wiederkehr and loads the 3,000 horse-
power shredder.
In addition, there is a mobile A 944 C High Rise for pre-sorting
the material. Both machines are identically equipped and have a
substantial working radius of 40 m. Next to the range the oper-
ating height is important since the material is stacked at a cer-
tain height to optimise the logistical capacities of the company.
The maximum lifting capacity at the load handling point of the
20.0 m industrial equipment amounts to 4.5 tonnes.
The Liebherr material handler EP 944 C is polyvalent, sending
up to 500 tonnes of material every day to the shredder and also
unloading incoming trucks or sorting and stacking scrap metal.
At peak times the EP 944 C can load the shredder with up to 120
tonnes per hour due to its fast work cycles.
The essential criteria for Liebherr material handling machines are
service life, availability and close points of service. Strict noise
regulations, exhaust emissions, longer standing periods and
lower running costs are only some of the reasons which signifi -
cantly encourage the trend towards electric drive technology.
In comparison to a diesel driven machine a Liebherr electric ma-
terial handler is one third cheaper in running costs. For many
years consulting, sales and service is in the hands of Liebherr
Baumaschinen AG, Switzerland.
