Single-Shaft Shredder
Versatile Size Reduction

General-Purpose Single-Shaft Shredder

The versatile workhorse for your size reduction needs. Engineered to efficiently process a wide range of materials including plastics, wood, paper, and organic waste with unparalleled reliability.

A robust general-purpose single-shaft shredder in a clean industrial setting.

Why Choose Our Single-Shaft Shredder?

Our machines combine precision engineering, robust construction, and intelligent design to deliver consistent performance and a superior return on investment.

Versatile Material Processing

From soft plastics to dense wood pallets, our shredder is engineered to handle a diverse range of input materials. Custom-configured feed hoppers ensure optimal material entry and operator safety.

Efficient & Consistent Output

Advanced alloy steel blades provide exceptional wear resistance and optimal cutting geometry. Paired with interchangeable screens, you can precisely control output particle size for downstream processes.

Robust & Reliable by Design

Built on a high-strength steel shaft and powered by a robust drive system, our shredders are made for continuous, demanding operation. This ensures maximum uptime and a long service life.

Typical Applications

The ideal first step in the recycling line for a wide variety of materials and industries.

Plastics

  • Plastic purgings & lumps
  • Runners & sprues
  • PET bottles & containers
  • Film rolls (loosely packed)

Wood & Biomass

  • Wooden pallets & crates
  • Waste wood & branches
  • Particleboard & MDF
  • Agricultural biomass

Paper & Other Materials

  • Paper bundles & cardboard
  • Textiles & fibers
  • Organic waste including bones
  • E-waste (non-metal components)

Single-Shaft vs. Double-Shaft Shredders

Choosing the right technology is crucial for optimizing your operation. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Single-Shaft Shredders

The ideal solution for processing softer or brittle materials where a defined particle size is required. They use a hydraulic ram to push material into the rotor.

Best for: Plastics, wood, paper, organic materials.

Advantages: Cost-effective, lower maintenance, excellent energy efficiency, and precise output size control with a screen.

Double-Shaft Shredders

Engineered for high-volume, aggressive shredding of tough, elastic, or bulky materials. Two counter-rotating shafts pull material into the cutting chamber.

Best for: Tires, films, drums, e-waste, metals.

Advantages: High throughput, aggressive material intake, less sensitive to contaminants, produces rough strips (no screen).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between a shredder and a granulator?

A shredder is a primary size reduction machine that uses high torque and low speed to break down large, bulky materials into smaller, rougher pieces or strips. A granulator is a secondary machine that uses high speed and low torque to grind these smaller pieces into fine, uniform regrind or granules.

How do I choose the right shredder model for my needs?

The best model depends on three main factors: 1) The type and density of your material, 2) Your required throughput (kg/hour), and 3) Your desired final particle size. Our technical team can provide a detailed assessment and recommend the optimal solution for your operation.

Can the output particle size be controlled?

Yes. The final particle size in a single-shaft shredder is determined by the aperture size of the interchangeable screen located beneath the rotor. We offer a wide range of screen sizes to meet your specific requirements.
