Shredding turns production or post-consumer waste into a
consistently sized bulk material. Shredding is the necessary first
step in the recycling process. From here further reduction is
possible when producing new materials or when using the product as a
substitute fuel. Due to the diversity of materials and applications,
shredders need to have a high degree of flexibility. |
Material is fed into the machine by loading the hopper with either a
conveyor, forklift or by hand. Gravity then causes the material to
enter the shredding chamber. Then the ram, which is load controlled,
pushes the material towards the spinning rotor. Here the material is
shredded between the rotor knives and the counterknife. The material
continues to shred until it can fit through the desired screen which
is located under the rotor. The screen is pre-selected based on the
required particle size. |
