Getting the best from your RS100 shredder – cutter maintenance The robustness and efficiency of your cutters is crucial to the productivity, uptime and return on investment from your shredder. That’s why the RS100 has been purposefully engineered to ensure the cutter maintenance process is as hassle-free as possible. Long-life cutters Designed to shred a variety of incredibly tough waste materials and recyclables, our cutters are equipped for a long service life. They are manufactured in house for total quality control, for example. And the cuttings disks themselves have an integral collar...

Overhauling your cutter system In high throughput or heavy duty shredding applications – which would typically require 1-2 cutter changes per year – the exchange and overhaul of your cutting system can vastly improve the uptime, productivity and hence profitability of your plant. Furthermore, the cost of a second set of cutters is soon offset by the ease with which you can rebuild or regrind the first set, enabling you to ‘repair and replace’ for years to come.

How do we restore your cutters? Even in high wear applications, your cutters can be restored to their original condition.

Where they have been subject to heavy duty usage, we can heat treat them before machining to reinstate the original tooth contour and sharpness. Even heavier worn, damaged sections can be overhauled with...
