Industrial Shredder Machine for Plastic Recycling

What is an industrial shredder machine?

Industrial shredder machine is a piece of heavy-duty equipment available for roughly reducing big size industrial waste/scrap material into smaller sizes. Normally this machine is prior to granulating or other further handling processes. With the increase in environmental protection consciousness and the development of the recycling industry, shredding machine now plays an important role in many applications. For example, paper, cardboard, biomass, wood, tire, plastic, metal, textile, etc.

What are the different types of industrial shredder machines?

Categorized by the different types of cutting systems adopted, there are single shaft shredder machines, double shaft shredder machines and four shaft shredding machines available. 

Industrial single shaft shredder

Single Shaft Shredder Machine also popular as Single Rotor Shredding Machine, is equipped with one high-speed cutting rotor and a hydraulic-driven horizontal pusher for pushing material close to the cutting rotor for efficient shredding. It is versatile shredding equipment suitable for processing a wide range of materials to uniform particle size. A replaceable screen is mounted underneath the cutting rotor. Various sized screens are available for you to conveniently control the shredded particle size to fit your specific needs.

Industrial double shaft shredder

Double Shaft Shredder machine also popular as Dual Shear Shredder machine or Twin/Double Shaft Shredder machine, employs two counter rotary cutting shafts that rotate into each other at low speed under high torque. There are hooks on the shear blades which grab the fed-in material, and then along with the rotation movement, the blades cut, shear, tear, slice and rip apart a variety of materials into smaller pieces. This type of shredding equipment generally has no sizing screens. The output particles are typically in strips. Each cutting blade’s thickness which is customizable determines the final particles’ width directly. So this twin shaft shredding machine is usually available for bulky item reduction, product destruction, or primary shredding that requires particle size variation.

Common features of single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder

Structural commonalities:

Main components: Both are mainly composed of motors, reducers, cutting tools (including moving and fixed knives), frames, boxes, and other components.

Tool design: Whether it is a single or double axis shredder, both the moving and fixed blades are made of high-strength and wear-resistant materials, such as alloy steel, to ensure the robustness and durability of the cutting tools.

Rack and box design: Both have sturdy racks and boxes to withstand the impact and force generated during the tearing process.

Performance commonalities:

Efficient shredding: Both can effectively shred various materials, such as plastic, rubber, wood, etc., achieving material reduction and reuse.

Low noise and environmental protection: Through advanced noise reduction technology and environmental design, both can maintain low noise during operation and meet environmental standards.

Easy to adjust and maintain: Both single axis and double axis shredders have the characteristic of easy adjustment and maintenance, reducing operating costs.

Automation control: Both adopt advanced automation control systems, such as microcomputer automatic control, which have the functions of starting, stopping, reversing, and overload automatic reversing control, improving the convenience and safety of operation.
