Heavy Duty Industrial Shredder for Recycling & Waste Processing

Introduction to Heavy-Duty Shredding Solutions

In today’s industrial and recycling sectors, efficient size reduction is critical for processing a variety of materials, from rubber and plastics to cables and composite waste. A high-performance heavy-duty shredder is essential for operations that demand reliability, durability, and high throughput. ASG Machine offers advanced shredding technology designed to meet these rigorous demands, providing robust equipment that stands up to the toughest applications while optimizing productivity and reducing operational costs.

Applications of Heavy-Duty Shredders

Our industrial shredders are engineered to process an extensive range of materials, making them versatile assets in multiple industries. Key applications include:

• Rubber Processing: Efficiently shred rubber blocks and tires for recycling and material recovery.
• Plastic Size Reduction: Ideal for waste plastics, PET bottles, HDPE, and other polymers, preparing them for washing and pelletizing lines.
• Cable and Wire Granulation: Separate metals from insulation with precision cutting for effective recycling.
• General Industrial Waste: Handle mixed waste, composites, and non-ferrous materials with ease.

These shredders are integral to recycling facilities, manufacturing plants, and waste management operations, helping businesses meet sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.

How Our Heavy-Duty Shredder Works

At the heart of our shredding technology is a precision-engineered cutting system. The shredder employs unique, three-teeth knives securely bolted onto a large, closed rotor in a staggered configuration. Stationary jagged-teeth knives are mounted within the cutting chamber, working in tandem with the rotor blades.

Material is fed into the hopper, where a hydraulic-assisted drawer pushes it against the rotor. The rotating and stationary knives work together to continuously cut and reduce the material until it reaches the desired size, determined by an integrated screen filter beneath the cutting chamber. Particles small enough pass through the screen, while larger pieces are recirculated for further shredding.

Built for demanding environments, the shredder’s frame is constructed from high-thickness steel sheets and tubular reinforcements. The knives are made from premium SKD11 steel (equivalent to D2 tool steel), heat-treated for enhanced durability and resistance to wear. Depending on capacity needs, we offer various standard and custom-configured models.

Key Features and Engineering Advantages

• Highly Resistant Hooks: Designed for high wear resistance, with a geometry optimized for efficient shredding. Hooks can be rewelded and refurbished, extending service life.
• Split Housing Design: The two-part housing allows for quick and easy maintenance, including full shaft exchange by simply unscrewing the upper section.
• Advanced Bearing Sealing: Quadruple sealing prevents leakages and protects bearings, even in wet or liquid-rich environments.
• Integrated Shock Absorbers: Hydraulic drive protection system guards against overloads, reducing downtime and repair costs.
• Hydraulic Drive System: Specially engineered for optimal torque and performance, ensuring reliable operation under extreme conditions and variable loads.
