Wie man den perfekten Industrieshredder für eine effiziente Abfallverarbeitung auswählt
In the competitive landscape of plastic recycling and waste management, the shredder acts as the heartbeat of your processing line. The wrong machine leads to frequent downtime, inconsistent output, and skyrocketing energy costs. The right one? It maximizes resource utilization and turns waste into profit.
Bei Energiecle, we understand that one size does not fit all. Whether you are processing HDPE pipes, PP films, or heavy purge lumps, this guide will help you navigate the technical specifications to find the machine that fits your specific industrial reality.
Decision Guide: Shredder vs. Granulator?
Before selecting a model, ensure you aren’t confusing a Aktenvernichter mit einem Granulator (Crusher). Correctly distinguishing these two saves capital investment.
- Volume Reduction is Priority: Dealing with large, bulky items (IBC tanks, lumps, bales) that physically won’t fit into a standard crusher.
- Heavy Contamination: Waste contains dirt or metal. Shredders run at low speed with high torque, making them more forgiving.
- Primary Size Reduction: You need to break material down to 40mm–100mm pieces to feed into a washing line.
- You Need Tiny Particles: If you require output smaller than 10-12mm (flake size) directly from raw waste.
- Material is Thin & Clean: For clean manufacturing offcuts or thin bottles, a granulator is faster and more energy-efficient.
Selection by Material: Matching the Machine to the Waste
Your material dictates the machine design. Rotor type, knife configuration, and feeding mechanisms must be engineered for the specific density and shape of your plastic. Use the Energycle Match Matrix:
Plastic Lumps & Purgings
Massive die heads and purge blocks require extreme torque. Standard rotors will stall. You need a system with a hydraulic ram that adjusts pressure based on load.
HDPE & PVC Pipes
Don’t pre-cut pipes manually—it’s dangerous. Our horizontal design allows you to feed 6-meter long pipes directly into the channel for autonomous processing.
Films, Raffia & Woven Bags
Soft plastics wrap around standard shafts. Energycle uses a specialized anti-winding rotor and tight knife tolerances to ensure clean cuts for PP/PE films.
Textile & Carpet Waste
High-strength fibers (nylon, polyester) are notoriously difficult. We utilize wear-resistant blades and a unique cutting geometry to handle carpet and fabric rolls.
Heavy-Duty Metal Scrap
Need to process more than just plastic? Our robust dual-shaft engineering handles light metal scrap, aluminum, and electronic waste with ease.
Deep Dive: Shaft Architecture
To speak the language of engineering, you must understand the “Shaft” configuration:
1. Single-Shaft Shredders (The Precision Choice)
Equipped with a hydraulic ram and a screen (sieve). Ideally suited for heavy plastic lumps where you need a consistent output size (e.g., 40mm chips).
2. Double-Shaft Shredders (The Volume Beast)
Features two shafts that “chew” the material. Best for hollow objects like drums or mixed waste where volume reduction is the goal, rather than precise sizing.

Q: Can I use one shredder for both films and hard plastic blocks?
A: While possible, it requires a specialized hybrid setup. For optimal efficiency, a dedicated Filmschredder handles flexible waste far better than a general-purpose machine.
Q: How do you handle long pipes?
A: Standard shredders require you to cut pipes into short sections manually. We recommend our Horizontaler Rohrzerkleinerer which accepts full-length pipes automatically.
