Heavy-Duty Metal Scrap Shredder

Industrial Metal Recycling

Heavy-Duty Single-Shaft Metal Shredder

Engineered to conquer the toughest materials, from bulky aluminum scrap and e-waste to dense steel turnings. Increase scrap value, reduce volume, and streamline your entire metal recycling operation.

The Smarter Way to Process Scrap Metal

Our industrial metal shredders are designed for maximum uptime, operational safety, and a significant return on your investment.

Unmatched Shredding Power

A low-speed, high-torque drive system delivers consistent power to shear through tough metals without jamming, ensuring high throughput and reliable performance.

Engineered for Extreme Durability

Featuring a rotor forged from a single block of high-grade alloy and PLC-controlled overload protection, this shredder is built to withstand the rigors of daily heavy-duty use.

Maximize Material Value & ROI

Produce clean, dense, and uniformly sized metal scrap that commands a higher price. Drastically reduce transportation costs and recover valuable cutting fluids.

Versatile Shredding for a Wide Range of Metals

Our single-shaft shredder is a versatile solution for scrap yards, manufacturing facilities, and recycling centers.

Scrap Aluminum

Effectively processes extrusions, castings, UBCs (Used Beverage Cans), and turnings.

Steel & Ferrous Scrap

Handles sheet metal, steel drums (pre-crushed), rebar offcuts, and bushy machine turnings.

E-Waste & WEEE

Ideal for liberating materials from cables, circuit boards (PCBs), and small electronic components.

Other Materials

Shreds copper radiators, automotive parts (non-hardened), and other non-ferrous scrap.

Core Technology for Superior Performance

Every component is meticulously designed to deliver power, precision, and long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.

Intelligent Hydraulic Feed System

A powerful hydraulic pusher ram automatically forces material against the rotor, ensuring consistent feeding and preventing motor overload for smooth, continuous operation.

Hardened Steel Rotor & Knives

The rotor is equipped with replaceable, four-sided cutter inserts made from hardened tool steel, maximizing cutting efficiency and extending service life before rotation or replacement is needed.

Advanced PLC Control & Safety

The user-friendly control panel simplifies operation (start, stop, reverse). The system constantly monitors load and will automatically reverse the rotor to clear potential jams, protecting the drive train.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of metal is this shredder best suited for?

This single-shaft shredder excels at processing non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper, as well as light ferrous scrap such as sheet metal, turnings, and e-waste. It is not designed for hardened steel, engine blocks, or extremely thick, solid steel parts, which require larger, more powerful shear shredders.

How is the final output particle size controlled?

The output size is determined by a perforated screen located beneath the cutting rotor. Shredded material is continuously cut until it is small enough to pass through the holes in the screen. We offer screens with various hole sizes to meet your specific size requirements.

What is the difference between a single-shaft and dual-shaft shredder?

A single-shaft shredder (like this one) uses a high-speed rotor with a hydraulic ram to push material, producing a smaller, more uniform chip size controlled by a screen. It’s ideal for size reduction and creating a consistent product. A dual-shaft (shear) shredder uses two slow-speed, counter-rotating shafts to rip and tear material apart, which is better for primary volume reduction of very bulky or tough items.
