The AK 235 Profi model now has a successor: the new Doppstadt shredder, the AK 310 Eco Power, has more powerful drive technology and a greater drop height, making it lead the pack in recycling yards, compost plants and agricultural contracting.

A new rear conveyor has increased the shredder’s drop height to 3.5 meters, enabling it to produce bigger piles of processed material, or fill feed hoppers, much more easily. The compact all-rounder also meets the legally required Euromot Stage IV final emission requirements. A 3A motor variant is also available for new markets.

Consequently, the AK 310 EcoPower not only works in an environmentally friendly way, but also produces more output than its predecessor: The MTU 6R1000 310 HP diesel engine produces more torque, with constant driving power, while using relatively small amounts of fuel. The machine’s drive train and engine have been designed to achieve more throughput, to suit the new types of work it is intended for.

These are processing pre-shredded trunks, roots and waste wood, green waste or organic waste, or substrate processing for turnips, potatoes and dung. The compact, versatile shredder (total weight 16 tonnes) is designed for on-road use and is brought to the work site by truck. On site, it can be moved around by wheel loader – even when there is not much space. The machine is fed by wheel loader, excavator or the front loader on the tractor.
