Built for Long Pipes
An extra‑long chamber (up to 6200 mm) makes it easy to feed long HDPE pipes by forklift or crane—without risky manual pre‑cutting.
Heavy‑Duty Torque
Reinforced frame, high‑torque rotors, and a shock‑absorbing gearbox deliver reliable performance on thick‑walled HDPE pipe scrap.
Intelligent Control
Siemens PLC controls the hydraulic pusher to feed consistently, prevent overload, reduce downtime, and protect blades.
Why Horizontal Matters
Safer Handling
Horizontal infeed keeps long pipes stable during loading and reduces manual cutting and handling risks for your operators.
Uniform Output
Screened discharge helps deliver consistent chips that run smoothly through washing, drying, and pelletizing stages.
Line Integration
Designed as a front‑end for pipe recycling lines: shred → convey → wash → granulate, with options tailored to your needs.
Solve Your Toughest Waste Challenges
The Challenge of HDPE Pipe Waste
- Large, bulky pipes are difficult and dangerous to handle and cut manually.
- Standard machines easily jam or fail when processing thick-walled material.
- Inconsistent shred size creates bottlenecks in washing and pelletizing lines.
The Heavy-Duty Shredder Solution
- Horizontal infeed + hydraulic pusher reduce manual work and stabilize loading.
- High-torque rotors and intelligent PLC controls power through material without stalling.
- Removable screens guarantee uniform particle size for optimal downstream performance.
The 4-Step Shredding Process
1. Loading
Large HDPE pipes are easily loaded into the wide feeding chamber by forklift or crane.
2. Feeding
The hydraulic pusher arm advances the pipes into the rotors at a controlled, consistent rate.
3. Shredding
Powerful rotors shear and tear the pipes into smaller pieces with high torque and precision.
4. Output
Shredded material passes through a screen, ensuring uniform size for easy discharge.
