What EuRec Environmental Technology does

EuRec Environmental Technology GmbH is a German private manufacturer (founded 1995, headquartered in Krayenberggemeinde, Thuringia; 51–100 employees) that designs, builds, delivers, installs, and services slow-speed two-shaft shredders (Zweiwellenzerkleinerer) for industrial recycling applications. The company operates a focused three-SKU product portfolio: the ULTIMA 850 (compact mobile shredder, Volvo Penta 315 kW, 1,950 Nm torque, ~23.5 t) for commercial waste, waste wood, and tires; the FERRO 950 NE (John Deere 677 kW, 4,250 Nm torque, ~49 t) for demanding applications including CFRP/GFRP composites, railway sleepers, and aluminum; and the FERRO 950 FE (variant with integrated magnetic drum for ferrous separation, ~53 t) for scrap yards and end-of-life vehicle processing. Differentiating engineering features — configurable synchronous/asynchronous shaft layouts, a hydraulic shaft-exchange system with mounting cylinder, hydraulically damped side combs, a lowerable breaker bar, quick-change cassette shafts, and demand-oriented fan control — are positioned as uptime and maintenance advantages for operators handling variable, contaminated feedstocks.

Revenue mechanics are capex-driven and one-time in nature: machines are factory-customized for each application (shaft configuration, throughput profile) and sold direct, with pricing undisclosed and quotes issued through a small in-house sales team (Sales Director Chris Erbe, Internal Sales Meggie Josupeit, Sales Representative Lennart Stecher). Distribution is exclusively direct factory sales — no dealer, reseller, or marketplace channel — and the commercial funnel is bilingual (German/English) website plus phone and contact-form intake. The customer base is horizontal across use cases (commercial waste processors, wood recycling, metal recycling, tire and rubber processing, construction and demolition waste, composite materials) rather than concentrated in a single vertical; specific customer logos are not disclosed.

A 2024 system partnership with the RBG Group (RBG-Gruppe) is the company's most material strategic relationship, providing shared purchasing and logistics and access to a European network of sales and service partners; this positions EuRec as a focused Mittelstand specialist embedded in a larger recycling-industry group rather than as a standalone scale brand. The firm is privately held, has no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds, and reports no public revenue figures.

Core offering

EuRec Environmental Technology GmbH designs, manufactures, delivers, installs, and repairs slow-speed two-shaft shredders (Zweiwellenzerkleinerer) for industrial waste processing and recycling applications. The product portfolio comprises three mobile shredder models — ULTIMA 850, FERRO 950 NE, and FERRO 950 FE — customized at the factory with synchronous or asynchronous shaft configurations for material streams including commercial waste, wood, tires, metals, composites, and construction debris.

Product overview

EuRec Environmental Technology GmbH specializes in the development and manufacture of slow-speed two-shaft shredders for industrial recycling applications. The product portfolio consists of three main mobile shredder models: the ULTIMA 850 (compact class, 23,500 kg, 315 kW Volvo Penta engine) designed for commercial waste, wood, and tires; the FERRO 950 NE (standard version, 49,000 kg, 677 kW John Deere engine) for demanding applications with high impurity content; and the FERRO 950 FE (ferrous-specialized version, 53,000 kg with integrated magnetic drum) for processing materials with high iron content. All machines feature robust construction, customizable shaft configurations (synchronous or asynchronous), and are designed for reliability and cost-effective operation in daily use.

Products and services

• ULTIMA 850 Mobile slow-speed two-shaft shredder in the compact class (23,500 kg), powered by a 315 kW Volvo Penta engine with 1,950 Nm torque. Features customizable synchronous or asynchronous shaft configuration, hydraulically damped side combs (Gegenrechen), hydraulically lowerable breaker bar, and quick-change cassette system. Designed for commercial waste, waste wood, and waste tire applications.
• FERRO 950 (NE) Slow-speed two-shaft shredder (49,000 kg) with asynchronous shaft configuration as standard, powered by a 677 kW John Deere engine producing 4,250 Nm torque. Engineered for particularly demanding applications including commercial waste, CFRP/GFRP waste, wooden railway sleepers, and aluminum processing with high throughput and wear resistance.
• FERRO 950 (FE) Slow-speed two-shaft shredder (53,000 kg) purpose-built for applications with high ferrous content. Reinforced design with an integrated magnetic drum for separating ferrous and non-ferrous components, eliminating the need for a classic overbelt magnet and its wear-prone rubber belts. Powered by a 677 kW John Deere engine with 4,250 Nm torque. Suitable for concrete, reinforced railway sleepers, end-of-life vehicles, and scrap metal.
