TWO SHAFT SHREDDER
3E two-shaft shredders are heavy-duty machines for the toughest, bulkiest feedstocks. Two counter-rotating shafts with hooked cutters grip material, pull it into the cutting zone and tear it down in powerful shearing bites, rapidly reducing volume without a screen. They handle bulky plastics, waste wood, MSW and light metal scrap that is often too large or too tough for single-shaft units. With rugged construction, high torque and low-speed operation, 3E twin-shaft shredders are ideal primary machines for continuous industrial and recycling duty, offering high uptime and simple maintenance.

Success stories

Rotor
Each shredding shaft is built from a stack of replaceable cutters and spacers. By combining different cutter and spacer thicknesses, varying the number of hooks, and choosing different tooth profiles, the cutting geometry can be perfectly matched to the material and operating conditions. Coarse, aggressive tools can be used for bulky or tough feedstocks, while narrower spacing and multi-hook cutters improve grabbing and reduce piece length. The modular design also makes it easy to replace worn elements or reconfigure the shredder when the application changes.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
Driving system
The shredder uses a true dual-drive system, with each shaft driven by its own high-torque motor and, on medium and larger models, a planetary gearbox. There is no inter-shaft synchronising gear, so impact loads are not transmitted from one shaft to the other, eliminating the risk of gear damage and improving long-term reliability – especially on lines where manpower is limited and downtime is costly. In hydraulic-drive versions for heavy metal scrap, the twin-drive concept fully comes into play: the PLC can apply differential speeds and single-shaft reversing, providing smarter overload protection and faster recovery on difficult materials.
Modular auxiliary systems
To further optimize material handling and throughput, a range of modular auxiliary systems can be added. Standard straight or curved pressing rams provide universal feeding support, pushing material reliably into the cutters and increasing efficiency. For light, flexible feedstocks, auxiliary grip rollers help pull films, foams or loose fractions into the shredding zone. A tilting hopper / tipping device is available for bulky items that cannot be conveyed easily, allowing entire containers or large pieces to be loaded safely. For applications that require basic size control, an integrated discharge trommel screen can be added to separate oversize pieces for re-shredding. All modules can be combined as needed to tailor the line to the customer’s process.
