How the shredding machine works

  • The general industrial shredder machine has two axes, and the working principle is basically to tear and cut the materials through two interlocking rotating axes, which are equipped with blades or knives.
  • In this case, the two shafts rotate in opposite directions and the blades form a tearing space between the two shafts, thus shredding the material into smaller pieces or flakes.
  • This design can effectively cope with materials of various hardnesses and shapes, providing efficient shredding performance, and is widely used in areas such as waste processing and treatment recycling.
