FAQs
What materials are best suited for hammer shredders?
Hammer shredders excel at processing brittle materials like cast iron, aluminum castings, electronic housings, and friable components. They're less suitable for ductile materials that bend rather than break.
How long do hammer tools typically last?
Hammer life depends on material hardness and abrasiveness. Typical life ranges from 500-3000 tons processed. Reversible hammers effectively double this lifespan.
How does maintenance compare to other shredder types?
Hammer shredders generally require more frequent maintenance due to impact wear, but the simple design makes maintenance tasks quicker and less complex than multi-shaft systems.
Can output size be controlled precisely?
Output size is controlled through screen selection and impact force. While not as precise as cutting shredders, good size control is achievable for most applications.
What safety considerations are important?
High-speed operation requires robust safety systems including emergency stops, access interlocks, and protective guarding. Proper PPE and training are essential.
