FOR REC: the Challenge of the MR2000 Single Shaft Grinder

1 April 2026

FOR REC will present its latest technological innovations for the recycling sector at the IFAT fair in Munich, including the enhanced single-shaft shredders.

The industrial recycling sector is undergoing a phase of deep and rapid transformation. The growing heterogeneity of the materials to be processed, combined with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, requires companies to adopt technologies that are not only powerful, but also extremely intelligent and efficient.

In this competitive landscape, FOR REC confirms its position as a global benchmark. The Italian company, internationally recognized for its engineering‑driven approach, does not simply supply machines—it designs and builds fully customized, high‑performance turnkey plants.

The ideal stage to showcase the latest achievements of this ongoing technological evolution will be the upcoming edition of IFAT Munich: an unmissable event where FOR REC will present its most recent innovations, with a strong focus on solutions designed for complex materials.

Innovation and Power: the MR2000 Single‑Shaft Grinder for the Toughest and Most Resilient Materials

Today’s recycling market faces increasingly demanding challenges related to the treatment of complex, high‑density materials. We are talking about end‑of‑life tires, cables, and electric motors—applications that put any plant to the test.
To meet these needs, FOR REC has developed a line of reinforced single‑shaft grinders, specifically designed to withstand extreme mechanical stress while ensuring uncompromised production continuity.

The flagship of this product line is undoubtedly the MR2000 Single‑Shaft Grinder: a true giant of recycling engineering. Its key specifications speak for themselves, revealing a machine built to operate relentlessly:

Dimensions and robustness: an impressive weight of 24,000 kg, supported by an anti‑vibration steel frame designed to absorb and dissipate the intense forces generated during processing.
Operational core: a rotor 1,920 mm long and 540 mm in diameter, equipped with 30 four‑tip cutting blades, available either as monolithic tools or with interchangeable inserts—specifically engineered to tackle the most resistant materials.
Driving power: dual electric motorization of 132 kW (2 × 132 kW), providing unstoppable shredding force.

Operational Efficiency: Maximizing Output, Reducing Costs

In a market where margins rely heavily on efficiency, minimizing operating costs (OPEX) becomes essential. The MR2000 has been designed with meticulous attention to maintenance and downtime reduction.
Features such as automatic lubrication, easily replaceable wear plates, interchangeable selection screens and bearings positioned outside the cutting chamber (to prevent contamination) significantly simplify routine interventions.

Moreover, an advanced HMI enables real‑time remote support, allowing FOR REC technicians to monitor machine parameters, detect anomalies in advance, and optimize performance—ensuring unmatched operational continuity.
