Single Shaft Shredders
 

The WT Series Single Shaft Shredders are suitable for a wide range of recycling and size reduction processes. The low operating speed of 83 rpm keeps noise and energy consumption to a minimum whilst achieving maximum throughput.

The machines are fitted with symmetrical concaved face cutters which allows them to be rotated 4 times before replacements are required. This considerably reduces operational costs and machine downtime during maintenance.

The hydraulic ram feeding system in the loading hopper allows for adjustment of feed force and cutting pressure.

WT Series shredders can be fitted with an optional fluid coupling which allows the drive motor to get to full speed before load is applied. This considerably increases the performance of when shredding problematic materials.

A classifier screen is fitted on the discharge side of the rotor to control the output size of the shredded material. This screen can be between 15-100mm on request.

The open front design allows the screens to be removed quickly and easily to facilitate cleaning between different material types and maintenance.

Typical applications include:
  • Wood
    (Pallets etc.)
  • Various Plastics
    (Drums, containers etc.)
  • Electronic Scrap
  • Cables
    (Including Steel Armoured)
  • Textiles
    (Carpet, clothing etc.)
  • Polymers
  • Rubber
    (EPDM etc.)
  • Film
  • Paper
 
Each machine is supplied with a CE/UL approved electrical control panel using top quality Telemecanique/Schneider components and Siemens PLC’s.
 
All moving components of the machine are enclosed within the electrically interlocked machine cabinet to prevent access whilst the machine is running which ensures operator safety.

Rotor Variations:
We offer a number of different rotor configurations depending on the material being processed. Selecting the correct rotor for your application is vital in order to get the most from your machine.
 
High Performance Rotor   High Performance Rotor:
This type of rotor is suitable for relatively soft materials such as PE, PP & PET Plastics, Wood, Paper, Cables etc. This rotor is fitted as standard to our WT series machines.
Heavy Duty   Heavy Duty Rotor:
This rotor is suitable for processing very tough materials such as ABS, PP and Nylon. The blades are sunken deeper into the rotor to give them more strength and to protect the blades. This type of rotor is also quieter when in operation.
Film Rotor   Film Rotor:
The special arrangement of the cutters prevents flexible film materials from wrapping around the rotor. Agricultural films often contain contaminants such as mud and sand which can be very abrasive. When required we will offer a special Hardox coating which protects the rotor from excessive wear.
