What is an industrial waste shredder?

An industrial waste shredder is a heavy-duty machine that reduces large volumes of waste into smaller, uniform particles for recycling, RDF, or easier disposal.

How do I choose the right shredder capacity (throughput)?

Match the shredder’s rated throughput (kg/hr or t/day) to your daily waste volume, allowing headroom for peak loads and future growth.

What shredder types should I consider (single-shaft, dual-shaft, granulator)?

Choose based on material and output: dual-shaft for bulky/mixed waste and high torque needs, single-shaft or granulators for uniform fine output and recycling lines.

How do shredders handle contamination (stones, glass, metal)?

High-quality units include ballistic separators, tramp metal protection, easy-access maintenance hatches and sacrificial components to protect the rotor and screens.

Can a shredder run 24×7 for an RDF or recycling plant?

Yes, but choose industrial models with robust cooling for hydraulics/gearboxes, heavy-duty bearings, and service plans designed for continuous operation.
