Paper and Cardboard Shredding Machine

A paper and cardboard shredder is a machine specifically designed to shred waste paper, cardboard, and other materials into small pieces or fibers for recycling or further processing. The following is a detailed description:

Double-shaft shredders: Two sets of blade shafts rotate relative to each other, causing the moving and fixed blades to shear, tear, and compress the material. Material is fed into the shredder via a belt conveyor, whose speed automatically adjusts based on the shredder’s current draw. When overloaded with foreign matter, a PLC controller senses this and stops the shafts, then reverses to remove the foreign matter before resuming normal operation.

Single-shaft shredders: Material enters the shredder chamber through a feed system. Shredder blades within the chamber push the material toward the blades. The blades’ combined action of tearing, squeezing, and shearing shreds the material into small pieces, which are then discharged through the sieve. Single-shaft shredders are typically equipped with a large-capacity special hopper and a hydraulic push system to effectively prevent material from floating or moving, ensuring a fast, quiet, and efficient shredding process.

Industrial shredders: With high power and processing capacity, they are suitable for paper mills, recycling stations, packaging plants, and other locations, processing large quantities of waste paper and cardboard. For example, the Xrido industrial shredder is available in various models to meet the needs of small businesses to large-scale industrial production. It can quickly shred thick cardboard and large amounts of paper waste into recyclable fragments.

Paper and cardboard shredder features:

Wear-resistant blades: Blades are generally made of high-strength alloy steel, offering excellent wear resistance and strength, capable of withstanding prolonged cutting and tearing operations, extending the life of the equipment.

Intelligent control: The electrical components are often PLC-controlled, with automatic detection and overload protection. These features automatically shut down and issue an alarm in the event of a malfunction or material blockage, ensuring the safety of both the equipment and the operator. Controllable discharge: By adjusting the blade gap and screen aperture, the discharge particle size can be controlled, allowing the shredded paper and cardboard to meet various size requirements for subsequent processing.

Application Scenarios: Papermaking Industry: Used to process paper mill scraps and waste cardboard, shredding them into recycled fiber for reuse in paper production, reducing production costs and improving resource utilization. Packaging Industry: Used cardboard and cartons can be shredded into small pieces or specific shapes for use as packaging filler, which is both environmentally friendly and reduces packaging costs. Waste Recycling: Recycling stations use paper and cardboard shredders to pre-process collected waste paper, reducing its volume for easier transportation and subsequent sorting and recycling.
