How to Choose a Double Shaft Shredder

Start with the material

Material composition, maximum dimensions, bulk density and contamination determine the required cutting chamber and drive torque. Photos and sample pieces are more useful than a generic material name.

Define capacity realistically

Hourly capacity should be assessed together with feeding method, operating hours and allowable peaks. A stable line is usually more valuable than an optimistic maximum figure.

Confirm the final output

Double shaft shredders are commonly used for primary reduction. If a tight particle-size range is required, a screen or downstream machine may be necessary.
