Wood

The wood, lumber, or timber industry accounts for logging, timber trade, and the production of primary forest-based products and wooden materials. Wood is an incredibly important and valuable material that the world relies on for construction, commercial, and industrial applications. One of the best features of wood is the fact that it’s both biodegradable and recyclable, which is why industrial slow-speed shredders play a significant role in the lifecycle of wood. These shredder machines handle wood waste with extreme efficiency, preparing them for processing and bringing new life to the material rather than letting it rot in a landfill. The large machines are equipped with heavy-duty knives that bite right into the wood, tearing it down into the ideal scrap size for further processing and recycling.

Scrap

Any scrap recycling industry can benefit from the strength of a reliable shredder. The scrap industry deals with large volumes of scrap materials that require extensive breakdown in order to retrieve precious metals and prepare them for further processing and recycling. The heavy-duty slow-speed shredders are engineered to provide optimal cutting strength to handle these large waste volumes. Their high-torque design is strong enough to cut through bulky and tough materials with ease while a closed-loop hydraulic system absorbs the heavy shock loads that often occur when dealing with hard scrap. For this industry, shredder machines are the ideal choice to handle these rough and solid materials.

Scrap Industry

Green Waste (Compost)

Green waste, organic waste, and compost industries need to handle a wide range of products and materials every day. They work with leaves, food, animal waste, degradable carbon, and so much more. Instead of leaving these items in landfills where they can release methane into the atmosphere, specialized facilities work to turn them into a reliable biomass energy source while others process the materials into compost for reuse. Both processes require the initial shredding of the green waste materials, which is why they can rely on the high-torque performance of heavy-duty slow-speed shredders. These advanced shredder machines are incredibly beneficial to the industry due to their ability to reduce green waste volume by as much as 75%, effectively shredding down the material into the right shred size for further processing.

Green Industry

Food

Food-related municipal solid waste or food waste, in general, is a common result of the food industry. Rather than have this material overflow and rot in landfills, food waste, if treated properly, can be put back through the production cycle for recycling and reuse. The industrial shredders with single-shaft and dual-shaft options are engineered in a way that makes handling food products incredibly easy and much more efficient. These heavy-duty shredder machines take in nearly any type of material, including food, and shreds it down into a more manageable shred size for further processing and recycling, taking the food and turning it into a viable material for compost, biofuel, and more. The shredders can be equipped with differently-sized screens and steel limiters that are mounted under the shaft for easy adjustment to the final shred size.

Food Industry

MSW (Landfill)

The municipal solid waste industry can greatly benefit from the heavy-duty destructive strength of a reliable slow-speed shredder. These machines are specifically designed to handle large volumes of materials in bulk, shredding through mountains of waste like debris, wood, household waste, industrial waste, and general waste by the tons. The slow-speed shredders are built to handle this level of demand with enough versatility to rip through nearly any kind of material, no matter how thick or tough it is. The shredders feature load-sensing hydraulics and two hydraulic motors per shaft, which allow you to deal with the more difficult materials with greater ease and efficiency.

Tires

As the number of discarded tires continues to grow, the demand for versatility and shredding power within the scrap tire processing industry increases along with it. More and more discarded tires and other rubber products fill up landfills to an almost overwhelming capacity, and the need to take care of these products in an environmentally sound way is also in demand. Industries, the government, and private sectors are seeking end-use markets that consume scrap tires, such as recycling centers, tire-derived fuel, and tire-derived aggregate, to efficiently take care of the problem. As a response to this demand, we have provided heavy-duty slow-speed shredders that effectively reduce and recover scrap tires for further processing. Built for high performance and strength, these shredders can reduce waste volumes by up to 75%.
