D-Series Single Shaft Shredder

A single shaft shredder for plastic lumps, pipes, sheet, film bales and woven bags — the standard first stage before crushing and washing.

Application

Where the D series fits

Used as the first stage of a recycling line, or standalone for volume reduction before transport, the D series takes bulky feed and delivers a consistent, conveyor-friendly output.

D-series single shaft shredder rotor and hopper

Material fit

Plastic film, woven bags, jumbo bags, pipes, sheet, board, PET bottles, hard plastic and large lumps.

Single shaft shredder cutting chamber

Design points

Alloy steel blades with a 3-6 month inspection interval, replaceable screen, and configurable rotor gap.

Output

Output size set by screen choice; the shredded material feeds a crusher or washer downstream.

Process

How it works

A rotating rotor with replaceable blades works against a fixed counter-blade, with a screen controlling output size.

Feeding

Material is loaded by conveyor, grab or hopper.

Cutting

Rotor blades shear material against the counter-blade.

Screening

Material stays in the chamber until it passes the screen.

Discharge

Shredded output leaves by conveyor or directly into the next stage.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between single and double shaft?

Single shaft machines give a more consistent output size and are common before washing; double shaft machines take bulkier, more mixed feed at higher throughput.

What output size can I get?

Output is set by the screen; changing the screen changes the particle size. The right screen depends on what comes next in your line.

Is a shredder enough on its own?

For volume reduction before transport, yes. For washing or granulation you normally need a crusher downstream to reach the required size.

How often are blades changed?

Blades are inspected every 3-6 months depending on material; blade grinding and replacement are supported as part of after-sales service.
