Shredders to prepare materials for further handling
Shredders reduce the size and volume of cardboard, plastic and other materials, making them easier to transport, bale or send for recycling. We select a model based on the material, throughput and desired outcome.
Which materials can they handle?
Not every shredder handles every material. We identify the material first, then assess volumes and required throughput.
Cardboard and paper
For boxes, packaging and waste paper when dimensions need to be reduced or material prepared for the next stage.
Plastic and film
For plastic packaging and film when volumes are high and the material needs preparation for further handling.
Industrial and mixed waste
For wood, bulky or mixed waste, where contaminants, rotor type, power and final particle size matter.
What do we need to know before selection?
Shredder throughput must match the actual waste stream. An undersized machine becomes a bottleneck, while an oversized one is an unnecessary investment.
Tell us the material, approximate hourly or daily volumes, maximum piece dimensions and what needs to happen after shredding.
- Material and contaminants
- Hourly or daily waste volumes
- Maximum dimensions of the feed material
- Required outcome after shredding
Have a specific waste stream?
Tell us what you shred and how much, and we will help narrow down suitable solutions.
