Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about single-shaft shredder selection and operation
Q1: What materials can a single-shaft shredder process effectively?
A: Single-shaft shredders excel at processing plastics (films, bottles, containers), wood waste, textiles, paper, cardboard, light metals, and mixed municipal solid waste. They are particularly effective for materials requiring uniform output particle size.
Q2: What is the price range for single-shaft shredders?
A: Single-shaft shredder prices range from $120,000-$450,000 depending on size and capacity. The SS-800 starts at $120,000, while the SS-1500 costs around $450,000. Contact us for detailed pricing and financing options.
Q3: What output size range can be achieved with screen changes?
A: Output sizes range from 20-300mm depending on screen selection. Screen changes take 30-60 minutes and allow precise control of particle size for different downstream processing requirements.
Q4: How does single-shaft compare with double-shaft shredders?
A: Single-shaft shredders provide more uniform output (95-98% vs 80-90%), use less energy (15-25 vs 25-35 kWh/ton), require simpler maintenance, and have lower capital costs. Double-shaft offers higher throughput for primary size reduction.
Q5: What delivery time and installation support is provided?
A: Standard delivery is 10-14 weeks for most models. We provide complete installation support including setup, commissioning, operator training, and maintenance guidance to ensure optimal performance.
