Tana Oy has launched the TANA Multi Waste Buckets MWB17 and MWB23, an innovative, cost-effective alternative to traditional pre-shredders
The TANA Multi Waste Buckets combine shredding and bag opening in one step without a separate shredder, which reduces bulky or unsorted materials into smaller pieces and improves the feed to downstream sorting, screening, recycling and energy recovery, while supporting safer and more efficient operations.
“Pre-shredding is the critical first step in turning waste into value. With the TANA Multi Waste Buckets, we are bringing that step directly into the loading phase, making the process simpler, more flexible, and significantly more cost-efficient for our customers,” says Eetu Tuovinen, Product Marketing Manager, Shredders, Tana Oy.
Compared with a stand-alone pre-shredder, the TANA Multi Waste Buckets can deliver clear operating cost savings by reducing the number of machines on site and eliminating the need to power, maintain and feed a separate shredder. With pre-shredding integrated into the loader attachment, customers typically benefit from lower fuel and service consumption, fewer wear parts to manage, and less unplanned downtime while also cutting internal material movements and handling steps that add cost and complexity.
The TANA MWB features plug-and-play installation with no additional drain line and fast setup on a wide range of wheel loaders and material handlers, helping operators pre-shred exactly where needed and reducing extra material handling.
The buckets produce a consistent particle size of approximately 300–400 mm and process up to 90 m³/h to optimise feed for downstream processes.
“Customers have seen immediate benefits in terms of reduced transport needs, smoother material flow, and less downtime in downstream equipment. The ability to pre-process waste on the spot changes how efficiently the whole site can operate,” says Tuovinen.
The three-axle design of the TANA MWB ensures efficient shredding and continuous material flow. A faster middle axle combined with higher torque on the upper and lower axles creates an effective cutting pattern that reduces material wrapping and maximises throughput. The patented bearing protection, axe-shaped blades, and self-cleaning structure further enhance reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance, allowing operators to minimise downtime and extend component lifetime.
MWB17 is suited for 10-15-ton loaders, while MWB23 targets 13-20-ton machines, ensuring optimal performance across different operational scales.
