Extensive Shredding Applications

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

Film & Woven Bags

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.

Film and woven bags shredding
Pipes & Profiles

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.

Shredding plastic pipes and profiles
Lumps & Purgings

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it handle materials with small metal contamination?
Yes. The auto‑reverse overload system helps eject hard foreign objects. For continuous metal presence, pair with a magnetic separator for best protection.
How long do knives last? Are they easy to replace?
Alloy knives typically last thousands of hours depending on feedstock. Multi‑edge inserts and standardized mounts make changeover fast — two technicians can complete a set in 1–2 hours.
How do I choose the right model?
Match rotor size and power to your bulk density, screen size target, and hourly throughput. Share your material photos and desired particle size; we’ll size the rotor, knives, and drive accordingly.
Noise and dust control?
The enclosed chamber reduces noise; optional acoustic lining and dust extraction ports are available for stricter EHS requirements.
