If you receive bulky wood waste, a twin-shaft wood shredder with independent drive is well suited to the first stage. The two shafts are driven by separate motors, each with high torque and low speed, and the D2 or Hardox blades are individually removable.
The machine runs with low noise and dust, withstands minor metal impurities and automatically reverses direction on overload. See the full range of recycling equipment.
Key Advantages
• Independent drive, each rotor has a separate motor.
• D2 / Hardox blades, heat-treated blades, individually replaceable.
• Low speed, high torque, low noise and dust.
• Active pull-in, the rotors pull the material into the shredding chamber.
• Automatic reversal, fast recovery on jam.
• Sealed bearings, protection and easy maintenance access.
Technical Specifications, Twin-Shaft Wood Shredder
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Machine type | Twin-shaft shredder with independently driven shafts |
| Drive | Separate hydraulic or electric motors |
| Blades | D2 or Hardox, heat-treated and removable |
| Output size | Determined by the blade thickness |
| Operating mode | Low speed, high torque |
| Jam protection | Automatic reversal |
Applications and Industries
The shredder is used as a first stage in wood recycling lines, biomass production and the treatment of construction waste. The resulting fractions can go to particle board, mulch, biomass or additional milling.
Industrial equipment must comply with the applicable safety requirements. For integration into a complete flow, see the full industry solutions.
Compatible Materials
| Accepted material | Notes |
|---|---|
| Wood pallets | Including with nails or small straps |
| Furniture scraps | Solid wood, particle board and MDF |
| Construction waste | Beams, boards and joinery |
| Small logs and branches | Volume reduction |
How It Works
1. The material is fed into the shredder's intake.
2. The counter-rotating shafts actively pull the wood in.
3. The D2 / Hardox blades progressively shred the material.
4. On a jam, the system automatically reverses direction.
5. The shredded fraction is discharged toward the next stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size does it produce?
The size is determined mainly by the thickness of the blades fitted.
What happens if metal enters?
The system reverses automatically on overload; large metal objects must be removed beforehand.
How often are the blades replaced?
It depends on the material and volume; each blade can be replaced individually.
