THÉVENAZ-LEDUC SA Maximizes Shredder Performance with the LINDEMANN Shredder Drive Assistant

Smart Shredder Optimization for Higher Throughput and Lower Energy Consumption

As Europe’s only facility dedicated to the recycling of used Nespresso coffee capsules, THÉVENAZ-LEDUC SA continuously invests in innovative technologies that improve operational efficiency and sustainability. To further optimize its recycling operations, the company implemented the LINDEMANN Shredder Drive Assistant (SDA) – an intelligent software upgrade designed to maximize shredder performance by continuously optimizing power utilization.

The Challenge

Like many recycling operators, THÉVENAZ-LEDUC SA was looking for ways to increase throughput while reducing energy consumption and operating costs. With rising energy prices and growing sustainability requirements, maximizing the efficiency of existing equipment became a key priority.

The Solution

The LINDEMANN Shredder Drive Assistant (SDA) continuously monitors and adjusts shredder performance to ensure optimal utilization of the available drive power. By intelligently controlling the shredding process, the system minimizes power losses and keeps the shredder operating at peak efficiency throughout the entire production cycle. A major advantage is that the SDA can be retrofitted to nearly all existing LINDEMANN shredders, making it an attractive modernization solution with minimal installation effort.
