Metal recycling equipment has two important machine types, one is a scrap metal shredder and the other is a metal baler machine. Both of these have the effect of reducing the volume of the metal. As the name suggests, different machines have different capabilities. In this article, we will introduce the metal shredder in detail.
What is the scrap metal shredder?
A scrap metal shredder is a machine used to reduce scrap metal into smaller pieces or fragments. It is a powerful industrial tool designed specifically for processing various types of metal waste, such as discarded vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles), appliances, machinery, structural steel, and other metal objects.
What is the working principle of a scrap metal shredder?
The working principle of a scrap metal shredder revolves around its ability to tear and shred metal waste effectively. By utilizing sharp rotating blades or hammers, the machine subjects the metal to intense forces, breaking it down into smaller pieces. This process facilitates easier handling, storage, and further processing of the shredded metal.
The structure of the scrap metal shredder
The industrial metal shredders are mainly composed of a blade spindle, a fixed knife, a load-bearing box, a box bracket, a feeding system, a power system and an electrical control system. The machine is compact and durable.
Technical parameters of industrial metal shredders
| Model | 1000 | 1600 |
| Power (kw) | 22×2 | 75×2 |
| Output (t/h) | 4-5 | 12-15 |
| Quality of blade | 50 | 20 |
Besides the above models, we have another 8 models of scrap metal shredder machine for sale. Their output is 0.5-14 tons, 1.5-2 tons, 2-3 tons, 5-7 tons, 8-10 tons, 15-18 tons and 20-25 tons respectively. Customers can choose according to their needs.
Features of industrial metal shredders
- The body of the double-shaft shredder is mainly made of high-quality steel plates processed and welded. This ensures that the device remains stable even if it is used for a long time.
- The moving knife material is made of special special alloy material. The material of the moving knife is processed through multiple heat treatments and low-temperature freezing heat treatment technology, which can ensure the high performance and long service life of the knife. The fixed knives of the machine are installed with professional hooks, which can make the maintenance and replacement of the knives more efficient.
- Easy to maintain. The bearing seat of the machine’s double-shaft scrap metal shredder is installed in a split and disassembled manner. Workers can quickly remove moving knife, fixed knife, bearing and other components.
- The unique sealing structure can effectively block metal debris and grease.
- The cutter shaft is made of high-strength and heavy-duty special steel.
- The thickness of the shredder knife is divided into 15mm, 20mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm and so on. The thickness of the tool and the number of claws can be customized according to different materials.
Type of scrap metal shredder
There are two types of metal shredders: single-shaft shredder and double-shaft shredder. The double-shaft scrap metal shredder can process many heavy metal materials, such as scrap car casings, waste home appliances, and other bulky materials and metal waste, and the single-shaft shredder can process light metals such as wires and cables, cans, aluminum waste, and circuit boards.
Application range of industrial material shredder
Twin shaft shredders meet the needs of several waste recycling industries. It can crush hundreds of materials. The common materials that the machine can handle are metal, waste rubber, old gold car shell, wood, domestic garbage, plastic, waste plastic and other bulk materials. The materials processed by the industrial metal material shredder can be directly recycled or further refined according to the needs. Therefore, the machine can be applied in metal recycling, medical recycling, electronic manufacturing, pallet manufacturing, wood processing, domestic waste recycling, plastic recycling, tire recycling, paper making and other industries.
How to shred metal using a scrap metal shredder machine?
To effectively shred metal using a scrap metal shredder, it is essential to follow proper guidelines. First, the metal waste should be fed into the shredder’s feeding system, ensuring a steady and controlled flow. The machine’s rotating blades or hammers will tear and shear the metal, resulting in smaller fragments. It is crucial to adjust the settings of the scrap metal shredder based on the desired output size and the type of metal being shredded.
Where to buy a metal shredder?
When looking to purchase a metal shredder, various options are available. Industrial equipment suppliers, recycling machinery manufacturers, and online marketplaces are good places to start your search. These sources can provide a wide range of options to suit your specific needs. Additionally, you can explore specialized auctions, trade shows, and local classified ads to find both new and used scrap metal shredder machines for sale.
