Equipment Introduction
The Ferrous Scrap Shredder is a heavy-duty twin shaft shredding machine for processing scrap iron, scrap steel, light ferrous metal, steel sheet scrap, metal drums, appliance shells, and mixed ferrous waste. It is designed for recycling companies that need to reduce bulky ferrous scrap into smaller pieces for magnetic separation, transportation, baling, melting, or further crushing.
The machine uses a low-speed, high-torque cutting system to tear and shear metal material with strong grabbing force and stable operation. It can be used as a standalone shredder or as the first-stage size reduction equipment in a ferrous scrap recycling line.
Compared with high-speed crushing, twin shaft shredding produces lower noise and lower dust while offering better adaptability to large, irregular, and mixed ferrous scrap. The shredder can be combined with conveyors, magnetic separators, eddy current separators, and metal crushers according to the final recycling process.
Working Principle
Ferrous scrap is fed into the shredding chamber through the hopper. Two cutter shafts rotate at low speed and high torque in opposite directions. The intermeshing blades grab, tear, squeeze, and shear the material into smaller irregular pieces.
When hard or oversized material causes overload, the control system can reverse the cutter shafts automatically to release the material and protect the reducer, blades, and shafts. The shredded ferrous material is discharged from the bottom and can be sent to magnetic separation, baling, further crushing, or direct recycling.
Features and Advantages
Suitable for a wide range of ferrous scrap including scrap iron and scrap steel.
Low-speed high-torque design provides strong tearing force and stable operation.
Automatic reverse protection reduces jamming and protects the transmission system.
Replaceable alloy blades can be repaired or replaced to reduce long-term maintenance cost.
Lower dust and noise compared with high-speed crushing equipment.
Can be integrated into ferrous scrap shredding, sorting, and crushing production lines.
