Lindner receives honor for alternative fuels support

Austria-based Lindner-Recyclingtech has received two prizes at the Global CemFuels Awards 2017, which were presented in February at the 11th Global CemFuels Conference and Exhibition in Barcelona, Spain. The Global CemFuels Conference and Trade Fair is a trade show with a focus on alternative fuels.

One of the awards went to Lindner as company in the category “Most Innovative Technology for Alternative Fuels.” Lindner says is the first manufacturer of shredding machines to have won an award in this category four times. The 2017 award was to honor the market launch last year of its new Polaris single-shaft shredder. The company says it “optimised this system for the one-step processing of refuse-derived fuel (RDF), specifically designed it meet the stringent requirements of the cement and lime industry, and thus set a new benchmark in this sector.”

In the category “Alternative Fuels Supplier of the Year,” the global CemFuels Award went to the Dutch company N+P International B.V., which uses a Polaris single-shaft shredder for the production of its RDF. It is the third consecutive year N+P has received this award, according to Lindner. N+P has been able to increase its production capacity to a nominal shredder output of 20 tonnes of industrial waste per hour. The result is a solid recovered fuel (SRF) with a grain size of 120 millimetres (4.75 inches) and a high energy content, which is subsequently processed to produce pellets.

“We have now received this award for the fourth time and regard it as an expression of the satisfaction of our customers and the industry with our products and our respective services,” says Lindner Managing Director Manuel Lindner. “The industry has rewarded our performance and made the new Polaris range a big sales success.”
