About Industrial Shredders

What are Industrial Shredders?

Industrial shredders are state-of-the-art equipment that effectively shreds everything from paper and thin plastics to cardboard boxes as well as metal and tires. Essentially, industrial machines require special voltage wires that take up a lot of space and require a designated area for shredding operations. But industrial shredders help compact and destroy large volumes of material quickly and efficiently. Advanced industrial shredders are also equipped with automatic feeding systems that maximize productivity while reducing operator costs. These shredders also incorporate cutting-edge technology for easy operation with little to no human intervention.

What is the role of industrial shredders in recycling and waste management?
Shredding systems are commonly used to reduce the size of a given material. Shredders are primarily defined as shredding equipment, but there are many types of shredders depending on the material that needs to be processed.
Industrial shredders are designed to facilitate material reduction in a variety of recycling applications, effectively supporting the recovery of plastics, e-waste, scrap, tires and wood. Raw material from the shredding process can be reused in various manufacturing processes or used to produce finished materials such as landscape mulch. Industrial shredders are also known as grinders, hammer mills and chippers, but their main function remains the same – reducing the size of different materials.

In the waste management industry, industrial shredders are used in the large disposal systems used by recycling units and municipal facilities. From asphalt and rubber to plastics and wood, industrial shredders efficiently compact large volumes of waste to a fraction of their actual size in minutes. When used in landfills, these shredders significantly reduce waste volumes and speed up the breakdown of biodegradable waste.
In today’s eco-conscious business environment, industrial shredders present an excellent opportunity for businesses looking to cut costs. Industrial shredders used in the recycling process not only reduce material volume, but also reduce transportation and storage costs.
Industrial shredders are available in a variety of high-torque, low-speed machines, which can effectively reduce problems such as embedding metal parts into plastic materials during the shredding process. From shredding smaller items to reducing the size of large industrial parts, a wide range of shredders ensures maximum material recovery.
