Standard Single-Shaft Shredder
A ram-fed single-shaft shredder designed for rigid plastics, bulky waste, purges, and industrial materials needing controlled particle reduction.
- Hydraulic ram feeding maintains steady contact with the rotor.
- Screen-controlled discharge provides uniform output sizing.
- Configurable rotor geometries for rigid plastics, timber, and fibrous materials.
Key Components & Rotor Architecture
-
Hydraulic Pusher Ram
Maintains steady material pressure against the rotor for continuous cutting without manual pushing.
-
Indexable Rotor Knives
Four-way rotatable square knives reduce replacement costs and extend operational life.
-
Interchangeable Screen
Perforated bottom screens control final output particle size to match downstream processing.
-
PLC Anti-Jam Logic
Automated reverse function protects motor and drive components during overload conditions.
How Single-Shaft Shredders Work
A controlled cutting process that reliably reduces bulky feedstock into uniform shreds.
-
Step 1Material Feeding
Material enters the hopper and is advanced by the hydraulic ram toward the rotor.
-
Step 2High-Torque Shredding
Low-speed rotor blades shear feedstock against stationary counter-knives.
-
Step 3Screen Discharge
Shredded material passes through the perforated screen once target size is reached.
Single-Shaft Shredder Applications & Materials
Versatile size reduction engineered for dense, bulky, and difficult industrial waste streams.
-
Rigid Plastics
Suitable for crates, pipes, purges, and bulky rigid plastic scrap.
-
Films & Soft Packaging
Processes woven bags, stretch film rolls, and agricultural plastics.
-
Wood & Pallets
Handles pallets, offcuts, and manufacturing timber waste.
-
Paper & Cardboard
Reduces bulky cardboard packaging, paper cores, and document waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about single-shaft shredder capabilities, rotor selection, and maintenance.
A standard single-shaft shredder is a ram-fed, single-rotor machine that cuts material against fixed counter-knives. A screen controls the output size for downstream recycling.
Screen size depends on your downstream process. Smaller screens produce a more uniform output for granulation, while larger screens increase throughput for pre-shredding.
Yes. The hydraulic pusher presses bulky materials into the rotor, improving bite and throughput on rigid plastics, pallets, wood waste, and industrial scrap.
Both. Single-shaft shredders can work as a primary shredder for rigid plastics and wood, or as a secondary shredder after pre-shredding when more uniform output is needed.
