Single shaft shredders consist of a rotor with a hydraulic ram used for pushing the waste and scrap material against the rotor enabling the cutting process. The ram has pressure sensors to move backwards and forwards preventing the material jamming and overheating. The shredders can be fitted with a range of screen sizes allowing large bulk items to be reduced down to a 10mm particle size.
Starting from £18k + VAT the single shaft shredders are ideal for bulky and difficult-to-process waste plastic mouldings and can be used in conjunction with a conveyor-fed granulator.
