Dual-Shear® Two-Shaft Shredders

Product catalog summary

Overview of Dual-Shear® Shredders
Dual-Shear® shredders are robust, high-torque machines designed for processing tough, compressible materials such as metals, carpets, and tires. They operate at low speeds, resulting in benefits like reduced noise, dust, heat generation, and lower operational and maintenance costs. These shredders are energy-efficient, featuring heavy-duty construction and wear-resistant cutters. The patented SSP™ (Severe Shock Protection) system minimizes damage from sudden stops, and the machines require minimal foundation support.

Key Features

Drive Configurations: Planetary gearboxes are splined directly into the drive shaft, enhancing torque and application flexibility.
Direct Drive: Available in electric, hydraulic, and SmartDrive® options to suit specific needs.
Pierce-Point Cutters: Designed to pull material into the center and cut it into strips approximately the same width as the cutters.
Cleaning Fingers: Prevent shredded material from building up between cutters.
Advanced Cutter Locking System (ACLS™): Minimizes maintenance and prolongs cutter life.
Seal & Bearing Protection: Combines conventional and labyrinth seals to prevent contamination.
Hoppers: Application-specific feed hoppers available, including patented RAM assist.

Applications
Dual-Shear® shredders are versatile and can be configured for a wide range of materials, making them suitable for applications such as volume reduction, product destruction, and primary shredding.
