Bale Shredder

Briquette Shredder Main Machine Structure Diagram

Haoxing Machinery's Bale Shredder, also known as the Metal Briquette Shredder, is a specialized dual-shaft shear shredder designed for the pre-shredding of baled scrap metal. The machine efficiently processes dense briquettes (typically ranging from 400×400mm to 600×600mm) produced by metal balers, breaking them down into smaller, manageable pieces through tearing, squeezing, and intermeshing shear action. The resulting fragments are ideally sized for secondary crushing (e.g., in a scrap steel hammer mill) or direct furnace charging. This equipment is a reliable solution for volume reduction and a critical pre-processing stage that enhances overall recycling line productivity.

The Bale Shredder comprises a feed hopper, shredding cutter shafts, gearbox, motor drive system, heavy-duty base frame, and electrical controls.

1. Feeding: Metal bales are loaded into the spacious feed hopper via conveyor or grapple. The hopper opening direction and dimensions can be custom-designed to match specific bale sizes, ensuring smooth entry into the cutting chamber.

2. Dual-Shaft Shredding: Inside the chamber, two parallel shafts driven by gear motors through heavy-duty gearboxes rotate at low speed in opposite directions. High-strength alloy blades mounted on the shafts intermesh, applying intense tearing, squeezing, and shearing forces to progressively break the dense bales into smaller fragments.

3. Discharge: Properly sized pieces fall through the cutter clearance and are discharged via conveyor for downstream processing (e.g., feeding a hammer mill) or direct collection. Output size can be adjusted to meet subsequent process requirements.

1. Gear Motor Drive, Low Speed & High Torque
   Driven directly by gear motors, the shredder operates at low rotational speeds with exceptional torque, easily handling the high-density loads of compacted metal bales. Operation is characterized by low noise and vibration, ensuring safe and reliable performance.

2. Specialized Pre-Shredding for Optimized Line Efficiency
   As a dedicated pre-shredding solution, the machine produces uniformly sized fragments that significantly reduce the workload on downstream hammer mills, boosting overall line capacity and extending the service life of secondary crusher wear parts. Output can also be used directly as furnace feedstock.

3. Robust Steel Frame, Stable & Durable
   The shredder is mounted on a heavy-duty base and work platform constructed from high-strength welded steel. This rigid structure provides exceptional stability and impact resistance during continuous heavy-load operation.

4. Customizable Feed Hopper for Maximum Adaptability
   The orientation and dimensions of the feed hopper and inlet can be tailored to the customer's exact bale specifications, ensuring all sizes of scrap briquettes are accepted without pre-breaking.

5. Integrated Mechanical-Electrical-Hydraulic Control, User-Friendly
   An integrated PLC control system with a touchscreen interface provides intuitive monitoring and operation. The system is simple to learn and facilitates convenient daily maintenance.
