How To Shred Waste Textiles?

Waste textiles are all kinds of clothes, fabrics, carpets, sheets, towels, leather, etc. that are no longer used in household or industrial and commercial activities. They come from nature or are artificially synthesized. The fibers in most clothing and textiles are very suitable for recycling and reuse in making new products. Especially with the prevalence of “fast fashion” today, people discard clothes more frequently, resulting in a large amount of textile waste, and textile waste has become an important source of landfill waste.

Traditional landfill not only causes pollution and increases carbon emissions, but also causes a great waste of resources. Reducing the size of textiles through practical shredders for recycling or energy utilization is currently a popular way to dispose of waste textiles.

How to shred waste textiles? A shredder suitable for textiles is needed.

Textiles often contain more fibers and have higher toughness, especially piles or bundles of waste textiles. When shredding them, it is necessary to consider the possibility of the shredder working under the worst conditions to ensure that the low technical indicators of cheap equipment will not cause downtime, broken shafts, production capacity not meeting design requirements or other problems.
