Working principle of two shaft shredder
The pre-sorted material to be chopped is fed into two axes whose rotors move slowly in opposite directions (thus free of dust and noise). The blade inserts are mounted on the shaft. This process is controlled by intelligent and innovative PLC. If the double shaft shredder machine is overloaded or there is a foreign object in the cutting device, the rotor stops and moves backwards (returning overload behavior and running in reverse). Precise serrated fixed blades ensure the material is pulverized with minimal power. The knives of our industrial shredder machines are designed to help avoid multiple winding and lifting of materials to be chopped.
DOUBLE Shaft shredder Buying Guide
What are the characteristics of double shaft shredder?
Double-shaft shredders are known for robustness and reliability.
Heavy-duty, low-speed operation: Built on a massive frame with thick steel plates. Shafts rotate slowly (typically 20–40 RPM) at low speed and very high torque, making the machine quiet and minimizing energy waste.
High Reduction Efficiency: By applying tensile and shear stresses rather than pure compression, they “break materials at the weakest link,” achieving very high size reduction ratios (often up to several hundred-to-one) with lower energy use .
Self-Cleaning Action: The counter-rotating rollers effectively clean each other. Sticky, fibrous, or wet materials (wires, straps, fabrics, etc.) tend to be automatically released rather than clogging.
Built-in Safety Features: Machines often include overload detection and automatic reverse to protect the drive when unbreakable objects enter. PLC control monitors motor load and can stop or reverse the rotors under excessive load.
Minimal Maintenance: Fewer moving parts besides the two shafts. Blades (made of wear-resistant alloy) are replaceable. Shaft bearings are sealed and often isolated from the feed to avoid contamination.
Pre-Shredding Capability: Often used as a “first-stage” shredder to downsize large bales, blocks or bulky items to manageable chunks for downstream equipment.
How to choose the best dual shaft shredder?
Choosing the best twin-shaft shredder requires a combination of factors, including the machine’s specifications, blade material, safety features, and the manufacturer’s warranty. Here are some detailed recommendations:
On the one hand, choose a twin-shaft shredder based on different model parameters:
1. Power is usually measured in kilowatts (kW), which indicates the shredder’s ability to handle different materials. The higher the power, the stronger the shredder’s processing capacity, suitable for larger and harder materials and higher production requirements. Lower-powered models are suitable for softer materials such as plastics or textiles.
2. The diameter of the shredder blade determines the size of the shredder’s feed opening, which in turn affects the range of the equipment. Larger blade diameters are usually used to handle large or thicker materials such as plastic boards, wood, oil drums, etc.
3. Blade thickness directly affects the shredding particle size. Thicker blades are usually used for coarse shredding, while thinner blades are suitable for fine shredding.
4. The speed determines the shredder’s working efficiency. The material throughput capacity is usually measured in tons per hour (t/h), indicating how much material the shredder can handle in a given time. High speed and greater throughput usually mean higher shredding efficiency, but also increase the wear rate of the equipment.
On the other hand, need to combine factors such as product functions and merchant experience when choosing a double-shaft shredder :
1. Common blade materials include 9CrSi, 55SiCr, H13, Cr12MoV, etc. These materials have different hardness and wear resistance and are suitable for materials of different hardness.
2. It is safer to buy a double-shaft shredder with an emergency stop button to quickly stop the equipment in case of an accident.
3. Choose a manufacturer with a good reputation and rich cases, and ensure that the equipment it provides has the necessary quality certification and after-sales service guarantee. This can ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment in long-term use.
4. If possible, it is best to go to the manufacturer’s site for a test run to intuitively understand the actual working conditions and performance of the equipment.
In what specific usage situations is double-shaft shredder better than single-shaft shredder?
Double-shaft shredders are particularly suitable for processing materials with high hardness and large volume, such as scrap metal (scrap iron, scrap aluminum), scrap tires, oil drums, color steel tiles, sofas, mattresses, etc. These materials are usually difficult to be effectively processed by single-shaft shredders because single-shaft shredders have limited torque and small feed bins, which are prone to blockage and entanglement.
Double-shaft shredders can provide greater shear force and higher crushing efficiency because two blade shafts work simultaneously. This makes it perform well when processing large amounts of materials and is suitable for occasions that require high production capacity.
The blades of the double-shaft shredder are staggered to ensure that the material is torn evenly, avoiding the occurrence of single-point overload, thereby reducing energy consumption. In addition, the double-shaft structure makes the force on each shaft more dispersed, reduces the wear of individual components, and extends the life of the equipment.
Double-shaft shredders are suitable for the processing of a variety of materials, including waste plastics, wood, rubber, and various electronic waste. In contrast, the scope of application of single-shaft shredders is relatively limited, and is usually only suitable for processing some soft or low-density materials.
How to choose double shaft shredder blades?
When choosing a twin-shaft shredder blade, there are several key factors to consider:
1. Different materials require different types of blades. For example, when processing metal scrap, you can choose a blade material that is wear-resistant and has high hardness, such as 9CrSi, Cr12MoV, etc. For soft materials such as plastics and rubber, you can choose a softer blade material to avoid excessive wear.
2. Twin-shaft shredders are usually equipped with staggered blades that rotate in opposite directions, creating a shearing and tearing effect. Therefore, the blade design and spacing will directly affect the shredding efficiency and the service life of the equipment.
3. Depending on the hardness and volume of the material being processed, choose blades of different thicknesses and numbers of claws. For example, thicker blades with more claws are suitable for hard materials, while thinner blades are suitable for soft materials.
