HOG-Shredder Series HGM

Product catalog summary

Introduction to HGM Series: Herbold Meckesheim GmbH has introduced a new series of low-speed HOG-shredders, the HGM series, available in two sizes: HGM 60/100 and HGM 60/145. These shredders are designed to be user-friendly and are characterized by their insensitivity to foreign bodies, smooth operation, and longer knife life.

Advantages: The HGM series features an integrated shear pin coupling for protection against foreign bodies, a full-steel rotor, and a V-belt drive for smooth operation. The design includes a horizontally divided housing for easy access to the rotor and cutting knives, reducing noise, dust, and fines.

Functional Mode: The HGM series combines the benefits of granulators and shredders. It is equipped with knives for size reduction by cutting and has a screen suitable for small hole sizes. The shredder operates at a reduced speed and is relatively insensitive to foreign bodies.

Design Features: The HGM shredder is built with a heavy-duty full-steel rotor and short segmented knives in a helical pattern. The machine's interior is protected with bolted wear-plates, and the housing is hydraulically operated for easy maintenance. The screen cradle is hydraulically adjustable and secured by a clamping device.

Application Range: The HGM series is suitable for reducing tough materials or those containing tramp material, such as pre-size reduced tires, household waste bottles, metal-reinforced rubber or plastic parts, and shredded waste from car recycling. An overload coupling protects the machine from damage by disengaging when massive foreign bodies are detected.

Technical Specifications: The HGM 60/100 and HGM 60/145 models have different dimensions and capacities. Both models feature a V-belt drive, shear pin coupling for overload protection, and standard armoured housing. They also include hydraulic swivelling of the screen support and housing opening.

Knife Details: Rotor knives are made of tool steel and can be resharpened or replaced as needed. Stator knives are mounted in adjustable holders and can be pre-adjusted outside the machine for precise cutting gaps.

Contact Information: Herbold Meckesheim GmbH is based in Germany, with a US subsidiary, Herbold Meckesheim USA, located in Rhode Island. Contact details for both locations are provided for further inquiries.
