ASTAR’s double-shaft shredders are heavy-duty, low-speed, high-torque machines used primarily to “pre-cut” large volumes of material or bulky materials like plastic film bales, whole tires, and rigid plastics like thick boards, drums, and buckets. Due to its versatility, you will find our double-shaft shredders being commissioned in a multitude of industries including but not limited to:

§ Rubber Recycling

§ Metal recycling

§ E-waste (electronics waste) or WEEE recycling

§ Wood Recycling

§ Destruction of products for liability issues such as sensitive documents including computer storage media such as harddisks, x-rays, expired goods, outdated stock, pharmaceuticals, etc.

§ Size reduction in wastewater treatment plants and other municipal applications.

§ Pre-cutting other solids such as destruction of foods, pallets, steel and plastic drums, furniture, construction debris, containers, corrugated boxes, packaging, labels, and other bulky materials.

At the core of ASTAR’s double-shaft shredders, heavy-duty shear blades are mounted on 2 hexagonal shafts that rotate into each other producing a cutting / shredding motion. These robust hooked styled shear blades rotate at slow speeds allowing shredders to have the unique ability to quietly shred large pieces and high volumes of feed stock into random, smaller pieces between 1-5 inches. The low speed of the rotors also ensures that little or not dust is generated.
 

As our double-shaft shredders are usually placed in front of the most demanding jobs, the frame and structure of our shredders use high-thickness sheets and tubular. The shear blades are treatment strengthened and use only the highest quality SKD11 steel (D2 equivalent) to ensure against dulling. Depending the capacity you require, we offer a variety of standard double-shaft shredders for your choosing.
