Single-Shaft / Double-Shaft Shredder: Our industrial single-shaft and double-shaft shredders are designed for use in larger capacity PE film washing plants or recyclers processing PE films that have higher levels of contamination.

Industrial shredders are heavy-duty, low-speed, high-torque machines. Shear blades in various shapes and sizes are mounted on a solid rotor or shaft, or multiple hexagonal shafts, and rotated to produce a cutting / shredding motion. With robust, hooked styled shear blades rotating at relatively slow speeds, shredders have the unique ability to quietly shred large pieces and high volumes of feed stock into random, smaller pieces between 1-5 inches. The low speed of the rotors also ensures that little or not dust is generated.

Shredders come in a variety of models and are classified using the number of shafts; that is, there are single-shaft, dual-shaft, and quad-shaft shredders available depending on your application. Common uses of shredders in recycling besides plastics include:

1 Rubber or tire recycling.

2 Metal recycling

3 E-waste or WEEE recycling

4 Destruction of products for liability issues including sensitive documents, computer storage media such as harddisks, x-rays, expired goods, outdated stock, pharmaceuticals, and more.

5 Wood recycling – scrap wood can be shredded to produce particle wood or boards.

6 Size reduction in wastewater treatment plants and other municipal applications.

7 Other solids – destruction of foods, pallets, steel and plastic drums, furniture, construction debris, containers, corrugated boxes, packaging, labels, and other bulky materials.
