Heavy Duty Industrial Shredder Description
The X-Series Heavy-duty Industrial Shredders are single shaft shredders with a powerful two-speed swing ram design eliminating the risk of blocking and wearing out of the internal guide rails. It is very versatile, can shred all kinds of input materials, and is well-suited for different industries. The single shaft shredders are equipped with a 750 mm diameter rotor in widths from 1500 mm to 3000 mm and is driven by two oversized gearboxes. Its low speed of 45 rpm guarantees a high torque and smooth operation. The hydraulic power pack is well integrated into the shredder housing to save space and protect it from damage, but still easy to access or remove for maintenance. The proven E-type rotor, knife holder and knife designs are taken to new dimensions to conquer the most demanding applications and challenges. The heavy duty industrial shredders can be tailored to various applications with advanced controls and hydraulics, hard facing, and other wear options.
Industrial Shredding Applications
The X-Series Heavy Duty Industrial Shredders have been designed for the most demanding and high throughput applications in plastics recycling industries. The input materials can be all types of plastics, wood, paper, cardboard, e-waste, post-consumer waste, rubber, etc. in various shapes and sizes. Typical input materials are fridges, purges, tires, pallets, bales, drums, barrels, pipes, and film. The output material size is determined by the installed screen size and, except in some RDF (refuse-derived fuels) and wood applications, the output material may need to be processed further to achieve the desired final size. For the recycling of complete truck and tractor tires, the X T model is configured with special wear protection and knives.
High-powered, Twin-speed Hydraulic System
The high-powered, twin-speed hydraulic system ensures maximum pressure when feeding material into the rotor and high speeds on the backstroke.
Rotor Knife
The concave ground square knives produce high-quality output and can be rotated after a side is worn out.
Hydraulic Rotor Screen Cradle
The large diameter flat rotor has specially-machined pockets to hold and secure the knives. Optional weld on hard facing is available for abrasive applications.
