Gebrüder Gratz Focuses on Quality and Efficiency with LINDEMANN Technology

More Than 40 Years of Partnership in Premium Scrap Processing
Located in northern Austria, Gebrüder Gratz has built a strong reputation for supplying high-quality processed scrap to steel mills and foundries across Austria, Germany and Italy. Since purchasing its first scrap shear in 1980, the family-owned company has relied on LINDEMANN technology to support its growth and commitment to quality.

The Challenge

Increasingly strict quality requirements for recycled steel and growing environmental regulations have transformed the recycling industry. To remain competitive, Gebrüder Gratz needed equipment capable of delivering premium scrap quality, high productivity and full compliance with environmental standards.

The Solution

To support its long-term strategy, the company invested in:

  • LINDEMANN EtaCut II Shear
  • LINDEMANN ZZ 190 x 260 Shredder Housing
  • LINDEMANN Shredder Drive Assistant (SDA)
  • LINDEMANN Dedusting System

The modernization improved process control, operational efficiency and environmental compliance. The Shredder Drive Assistant enables intelligent process control, ensuring optimal shredder performance and consistent material quality. Following a severe shredder explosion in 1997, LINDEMANN and Gebrüder Gratz successfully restored operations within only six weeks. Today, fast service response and spare parts availability remain key benefits for the customer.

The Results

The investment delivered measurable improvements:

  • 10–15% increase in production output
  • Smart process monitoring through SDA
  • Higher scrap quality
  • Compliance with stricter regulations
  • Improved operational efficiency
  • Increased plant availability
