The HAAS Arthos 1600 is a versatile hammermill engineered for the secondary shredding of pre-processed waste materials, including biomass, commercial and industrial waste, organic waste, plastics, and wood. Equipped with a powerful 566 kW motor and a 1,200 mm diameter rotor, it achieves throughput rates of up to 55 tonnes per hour, depending on material and configuration .
One of its standout features is the ballistic chute, which automatically ejects foreign objects and impurities without halting operations, thereby minimizing downtime and reducing maintenance costs. The hydraulic screen exchange system allows for quick and easy changes to the screen basket, enabling operators to adjust output sizes between <30 mm and <100 mm to meet specific requirements.
Additional features include flexible swinging hammers that enhance resistance to impurities, a multi-functional coloured display for machine operation and data interpretation, and remote control capabilities for various functions such as track operation and screen adjustments. Its sturdy construction ensures durability, while its design focuses on producing a homogeneous end product with minimal fine fractions .
The HAAS Arthos 1600 is available in both stationary and mobile tracked versions, offering flexibility to suit different operational needs. Its low fuel consumption and quiet operation make it an efficient and environmentally friendly choice for modern waste processing facilities.

Up to 566kW Motors
The Arthos can be equipped with up to 566kW of motor power, delivering exceptional torque and throughput for the most demanding shredding tasks. This high power capacity allows the machine to process tough and bulky materials with ease, maintaining consistent performance even under heavy loads.

Easy Maintenance
Designed with operator convenience in mind, the Arthos features a maintenance-friendly layout that allows for quick and safe access to key components. Its intelligent design minimises downtime, making routine servicing straightforward and reducing the total cost of ownership over the machine’s lifespan.

Unique Ballistic Chute
The Arthos is equipped with a patented ballistic chute that actively expels foreign objects from the shredding chamber. This innovative system protects the machine from damage caused by contaminants such as metal or non shreddable materials, reducing wear on components and extending the life of the shredder.
