How To Choose A Suitable Garbage Shredder?

Garbage crushing or shredding is an indispensable process in the solid waste management and recycling industry. Due to the differences in the physical properties and structures of materials, the selection of shredders should also be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. There are many types of garbage shredders on the market now. Choosing a suitable equipment and supplier can not only improve work efficiency and reduce material waste, but also help reduce equipment wear and tear. So how to choose a suitable garbage shredder? This article will tell you.

Reasonable selection of shredder can help producers solve many problems, but when choosing shrrdder, we should not only consider one reason, but also consider multiple aspects. The selection of shredders is mainly affected by material type and hardness, water content, cleavage degree, inlet and outlet particle size, and construction site and output should also be considered.

Factors affecting the selection of shredders

Material type and hardness:

Material type and hardness are an important principle for selecting a shredder. The hardness of different materials is different. Mohs hardness is usually used to indicate the hardness of the material. Mohs hardness is divided into 10 levels. The larger the Mohs hardness number, the harder the material is and the more difficult it is to crush, and vice versa.

Moisture content of materials:

The moisture content of materials will also affect the selection of shredders. When the moisture content is too high, fine particles will clump or stick to coarse particles due to increased humidity, thereby increasing the viscosity of the material, reducing the discharge speed, and reducing productivity. In severe cases, it may even cause blockage of the discharge port, affecting normal production.

Inlet and outlet particle size:

The inlet and outlet particle size is used to determine the model and crushing level of the required crushing equipment. If the content of coarse particles (large dry discharge port size) in the crushed material is high or the ratio of the largest feed block to the feed width is large, the crushing ratio (the ratio of the particle size of the material before crushing to the particle size of the material after crushing) that the crusher needs to achieve is large, so the productivity is reduced; if the content of fine particles (close to or smaller than the discharge port size) in the crushed material is high or the ratio of the largest feed block to the feed width is small, the crushing ratio to be achieved is small, so its productivity is correspondingly improved.

Output

The amount of output is also an important indicator for determining the selection of shredder. It is generally understood that the higher the output requirement, the larger the specifications of the required crushing equipment, and the corresponding input and output will increase.

Construction site:

The size of the construction site is also one of the factors people consider when choosing a shredder. In addition, the placement of the crushing equipment also affects the choice.

A double shaft shredder is a general-purpose material crushing equipment that uses shearing and tearing to reduce the size of materials. The main advantage of a double shaft shredder comes from its low speed and high torque drive mode, which provides high shear force for waste disposal applications while ensuring a low noise and low dust operating environment.

The double shaft shredders are widely used and can crush a variety of difficult-to-handle solid wastes, including tire rubber, industrial rope, bulky garbage, domestic garbage, electronic waste, paper and plastic, etc. They are used in waste disposal centers, paper mills, biomass power plants, landfills, recycling centers, RDF/TDF and waste-to-energy projects.

Gomine Recycling can provide different models of double shaft shredders according to different types and sizes of applications. They may have different shapes and components, but based on the same crushing principle, they still maintain the same high efficiency. Gomine Recycling’s common double shaft shredders include industrial waste shredders, waste tire shredders, metal shredders, car shredders and bulky garbage shredders.
