  • How Do Metal Shredder Machines Work

     

    Metal shredder machines are used to reduce the size of scrap metal into manageable, transportable pieces. They come in various sizes, from small machines capable of shredding tin cans and coins to huge models that can operate at 10,000 horsepower and shred up to 4,000 tons of metal a day. These larger machines shred items like automobiles as part of the end of life vehicle recycling process, bulk drums and virtually every other type of scrap metal.


    Shredders can have different styles of cutting systems, including horizontal or vertical shafts, single-shaft, double-shaft or even three or four-shaft cutting systems. Shafts can be manufactured with different styles of blade, which usually feature claws of varying thickness, depending on the material that needs to be shredded. Alongside the number of shafts, shredders can be high, medium and slow speed systems – typically, the kinds of shredder used in scrap metal recycling are of the slow-speed, high-torque variety, allowing them to chew through huge pieces of metal effectively.


    On an industrial scale, large pieces of scrap metal – like crushed, old cars, for example – are fed into the shredder, moving through the feeder pipe to the shredding section, where heavy-duty hammers spin and break down the metal. The shredded material is separated into ferrous and non-ferrous material using magnets before being carried along conveyor belts and eventually being spewed out of the other side of the machine into two separate piles for further sorting.

    Some industrial applications for reducing solids include the destruction of foods, pharmaceuticals, rubber, pallets, steel and plastic drums, furniture, construction debris, tires, containers, corrugated boxes, packaging, labels, and other bulky materials. Industrial shredders are also used for the destruction of documents, x-rays, media such as hard drives and other electronics to protect the privacy of individuals and corporate information.


    Municipal applications include recycling centers and smaller shredders with multiple cutting teeth for finer reduction for use in wastewater treatment plants. The recycling industry has found many uses for shredders such as shredding tires for the recovery of rubber.


    This recycled rubber is found in many applications and products including hot melt asphalt, basketball courts, playgrounds, and shoe products. The rubber is also used in civil engineering practices for the sub-grade insulation of roads, backfilling, and for fuel as "Tire Derived Fuel". Scrap wood is shredded for recycling and used for the manufacture of many types of wood products such as particle board and paper. Plastic bottles are recycled into PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic chips for the production of new bottles. Recycling or reusing all of these products through shredding reduces waste in the environment, increases corporate profitability, and reduces carbon emissions.


    Shredders play an indispensable role in many applications including manufacturing, recycling, solid waste reduction, security, wastewater treatment, oil and gas production, the transportation and production of biosolids, and more. Shredding offers a multitude of benefits in addition to the most obvious – size reduction. Shredders are used for processing materials used for producing a product or fuel, protecting business intelligence by destroying confidential product or documents, recycling of product or waste and shredding solids to ensure that other equipment or processes run smoothly. Corporations, government agencies and municipalities all employ shredders.

     

    The Crushing Process of Metal Shredder Machine
     

    Pre-shredding
    It consists of primary shredding operations, to break up the bags and homogenise the waste, and primary deferrization on the shredded material. The treated waste is dumped on the ground in a collection box from where it is then sent for biostabilisation in a biotunnel.

     

    Screening
    It is performed by means of an octagonal rotary screen or a disk screen and separates the material into two streams: the under screen fraction - RBD (mainly containing organic material) and the over screen fraction - FSC (mainly containing dry material). The over screen fraction is sent to the subsequent metal separation and baling stages and then transferred to the RDF production plant. The under screen is destined for landfill or, in part, for the subsequent secondary maturation stage which is not mandatory to be realized.

     

    Baling
    The oversize screenings (FSC), cleaned of metal fractions, normally sent in bulk to the RDF production plant, can alternatively be packed in bales through a baling and filming process. In the press, the material is conditioned in bales tied with wire and then a filming machine protects the bales with plastic film.

     

    Metals separation
    Separation of metal fractions on the over screen stream leaving the rotary screen. Ferrous metals, intercepted by a permanent magnet, and non-ferrous metals, collected with an eddy current separator (ECS), are subsequently sent for recovery.

     

    Final treatment
    A further, non-compulsory, aerobic maturation and screening process, to which part of the under screen fraction can be submitted for the production of recovery.

     

    What Are the Different Types of Metal Shredder Machines

     

    Single-shaft metal shredders
    Single-shaft metal shredders have a rotor and hydraulic ram used to press garbage and scrap against the rotor, which starts the cutting process. Pressure sensors allow the ram to travel backward and forwards, preventing jamming and overheating of the material. Large bulk materials can be broken down into particles as small as 10 mm using these shredders, which can be equipped with various screen sizes.
     

    Double-shaft metal shredders
    The double-shaft metal shredder is a favored choice in industrial applications due to its low-speed operation, high torque, and substantial throughput capabilities, making it effective for processing a wide range of materials. These shredders, which can be driven by either electric motors or hydraulic systems, are designed for volumetric reduction, helping to minimize the space occupied by waste materials. Despite often lacking a classifying grid, the distinctive blade design and controlled production parameters of double-shaft shredders allow for effective size control of the output material. These advanced primary shredders offer versatility and durability for heavy-duty use. Depending on the material type and desired output size, double-shaft metal shredders can be equipped with various components or used in conjunction with other shredding stages to achieve the required material size.
     

    Three-shaft metal shredders
    Three-shaft metal shredders can be used either independently or as part of specialized shredding systems. They come in three models (800-1000-1300mm) and offer capacities ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 tons per hour, equipped with a screen for separating the output material. The processed material can be reduced to sizes between 30x30mm and 50x50mm. These shredders feature a robust cutting system with durable rotor blades and a sweeper shaft. The cutter discs are individually replaceable, and the shredder includes a pivotable screen basket and protective bulkhead seals for the shaft bearing. They are available with either mechanical or hydraulic drive systems and offer automatic power-down and reverse functions.
     

    Four-shaft metal shredders
    Four-shaft metal shredders feature two drive rotors that push scrap material onto additional cutting rotors located below. These cutting rotors, powered by separate gear motors, are designed to pre-shred materials before further size reduction or processing with a granulator. Comparable in size to twin-shaft shredders, four-shaft models are often used for tougher waste, such as cars, that cannot be processed by twin-shaft shredders. They include replaceable classifying grids and are available in both electric and hydraulic versions, allowing for versatile material processing and precise output size control. Four-shaft shredders represent advanced technology aimed at creating highly efficient and adaptable equipment. With anti-wear treatments on grids and interchangeable shaft technology, these shredders significantly lower management costs and reduce maintenance requirements.
     

    Horizontal and vertical hammer mill metal shredders
    Horizontal and vertical hammer mill metal shredders operate by repeatedly striking feed material with heavy hammers, which can weigh between 250 and 1,000 pounds and rotate at speeds of 500 to 700 revolutions per minute (rpm). These hammers are driven by motors ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 horsepower. In a hammer mill shredder, material is introduced into a rapidly rotating steel drum, where it is struck by hammers on a shaft, breaking it into smaller pieces. Horizontal models feature hammers that strike horizontally, whereas vertical models have hammers striking vertically.

    Q: What is the feeding technology for metal shredder machines?

    A: The most popular feeding techniques for metal shredders are batch and meter feeding. Batch feeding is intended to shred huge amounts of material at once. Metered feeding involves putting materials into the shredder at a consistent flow and typically uses a conveyor.

    Q: What is the core principle of metal shredder machine?

    A: The core principle of a metal crusher involves hammering. The main machine's rotor, driven by a high-speed, high-torque motor, spins as hammers strike the material, breaking it into smaller pieces within the crushing chamber. Crushers can be categorized into dry, wet, or semi-wet systems based on their operation. A dry system includes a dust removal feature and uses an air cyclone sorting system to separate metal from non-metal materials. In contrast, a wet system applies water during the crushing process to simultaneously wash and sort the materials. The semi-wet system applies a minimal amount of water only as needed to reduce dust while crushing.

    Q: What is the rotational speed of the metal crusher?

    A: Horizontal and vertical hammer mill metal shredders operate by repeatedly striking feed material with heavy hammers, which can weigh between 250 and 1,000 pounds and rotate at speeds of 500 to 700 revolutions per minute (rpm). These hammers are driven by motors ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 horsepower. In a hammer mill shredder, material is introduced into a rapidly rotating steel drum, where it is struck by hammers on a shaft, breaking it into smaller pieces. Horizontal models feature hammers that strike horizontally, whereas vertical models have hammers striking vertically.

    Q: Is the capacity of a metal shredder machine important?

    A: Capacity: The effectiveness of a metal-shredding facility hinges on choosing an industrial shredder with adequate capacity. Factors such as the volume of material, its physical dimensions, weight, and bulk density all impact a shredder's capacity. The size of the cutting chamber may limit a facility's overall capacity. It is crucial to review a shredder's capacity rating carefully and consider having some additional capacity beyond estimates. Operating a shredder too close to its maximum capacity can shorten its lifespan, while an oversized shredder might consume excessive power and occupy more floor space than necessary.

    Q: Is the metal shredder machine safe?

    A: Industrial shredding can be hazardous, prompting manufacturers to design safer equipment. Modern shredders incorporate safety features such as protective mechanisms to prevent exposure to moving parts and proactive diagnostic controls that reduce the need for manual intervention. Enhanced safety includes auto-stop functions for foreign objects, low-noise operation to minimize noise exposure, and advanced detection systems (UV, infrared, heat, and spark) to prevent fires. Ergonomic designs also ensure that maintenance can be performed safely and comfortably, reducing the risk of injury.
