TANA waste shredders are renowned for their reliability and high performance. However, efficiency and ease of use are just as essential for operators managing daily operations. With this in mind, the new user interface introduces significant advancements that enhance usability, diagnostics, and process optimization.

Enhanced usability for streamlined operations

The redesigned interface delivers a clearer, more intuitive user experience, reducing the time required for setup, monitoring, and adjustments. Improved visibility into key performance metrics and diagnostics enables operators to make informed decisions and maximize shredding efficiency.

Optimized navigation for faster access

One of the most noticeable improvements is the restructured menu system, designed for seamless navigation and quick access to essential functions. Operators can easily switch between critical settings, including fluid temperature and pressure readings, main diagnostics, and process monitoring. By eliminating unnecessary steps, the interface reduces time spent searching for key information and enhances overall workflow efficiency.

Additionally, the refined startup process minimizes downtime, ensuring the shredder is operational more quickly, allowing operators to begin work without unnecessary delays.

Customizable material programs for greater control

Different waste materials require tailored shredding approaches. To accommodate this, the updated interface expands the number of preset operating programs from 12 to 16, giving operators greater flexibility to optimize performance based on material type.

For consistency and ease of use, all application names are now standardized across the TANA shredder control panel and TanaConnect® services. This uniform terminology eliminates confusion and allows operators to transition between functions effortlessly.

Advanced diagnostics for improved decision-making

A robust diagnostic system is essential for minimizing downtime and maintaining peak performance. The updated diagnostic view provides operators with a clear, at-a-glance overview of the shredder’s condition, ensuring they can quickly assess whether the process can begin or if adjustments are needed.

Intuitive color-coded alerts

To enhance visibility and simplify troubleshooting, the new interface incorporates a color-coded alert system:

• Yellow – Attention required (e.g., low but non-critical fluid level).
• Gray – System inactive (e.g., electric drive turned off).
• Green – Machine ready for operation.
• Red – Process cannot start; immediate action needed.

By providing instant feedback and reducing uncertainty, this improved diagnostic system helps prevent unplanned stoppages, enhancing both reliability and operational efficiency.

Greater visibility into performance and consumption

Operators now have access to enhanced data views, making it easier to track machine usage, consumption rates, and overall process efficiency. The addition of trend views and utilization metrics supports better planning and optimization, allowing for data-driven decision-making. These insights are particularly valuable for demonstrating machine performance and ensuring that shredding operations consistently run at peak efficiency.

Designed with the operator in mind

A well-designed user interface is not just about adding features—it’s about simplifying daily tasks, reducing errors, and enabling operators to work with confidence. The latest TANA shredder UI achieves this by making essential functions more accessible, diagnostics more informative, and customization more intuitive.

To further support operators worldwide, localized language versions will soon be available, ensuring ease of use across different regions.

The result is a smarter, more efficient, and user-friendly shredding experience—designed to help operators maximize performance while minimizing complexity.
