Since 2010, Energycle has helped customers shred nearly everything. From office paper to plastics, medical waste, e‑waste and more, we offer proven solutions that deliver a competitive edge.
What Is a Single Shaft Shredder?
A single shaft shredder uses a rotating rotor fitted with cutting knives (moving knives) working against stationary knives (stator/fixed knives). A hydraulic pusher feeds material against the rotor, and a replaceable screen controls the final particle size. This design ensures steady throughput and uniform, controllable output.
- Uniform, controllable size with interchangeable screens
- Wide applicability: films, bags, pipes, profiles, lumps, wood, textiles
- Stable, safe operation with overload protection and low noise/dust
Solutions by Material
For Plastic Film & Woven Bags
Pain points: Soft, elastic materials tend to wrap on the rotor, causing blockages and low throughput.
Our solution: Anti-wrap cutter seats and V‑type rotor with optimized knife spacing prevent wrapping; large-diameter rotor and PLC auto‑reverse ensure continuous feeding and higher output.

For Plastic Pipes & Profiles
Pain points: Bulky, thick‑walled parts are hard to grip and feed; risk of stalling.
Our solution: Deep V feed hopper and powerful hydraulic pusher deliver steady bite; high‑torque gearbox and reinforced bearings handle start‑stop loads on thick sections.

For HDPE Lumps & Purgings
Pain points: Dense, impact‑intensive feed can shock the drivetrain and wear knives quickly.
Our solution: Heavy‑duty frame, high‑inertia rotor, wear‑resistant alloy knives, and smart overload/auto‑reverse logic sustain throughput while protecting the gearbox and motor.
