Single shaft shredder for coarse recycling tasks

The powerful single-shaft shredders are primarily designed for coarse and medium shredding. They are used to shred a wide variety of material streams. The strengths of these shredders lie in their energy efficiency and the numerous options for customization.

With the single-shaft shredders of the XR/LRK series, the size of the perforated screens can thus be individually adjusted. In this way, fraction sizes can be set in a range from 25 to 400 millimeters. With the ripper and cutter system, these shredders achieve throughputs of up to 70 tons per hour.

Compact and powerful four shaft shredder

The strengths of the four-shaft shredders lie in their compact design and robustness. This includes the fact that the shredders are insensitive to foreign bodies that cannot be shredded. Thus, four-shaft shredders of the RS series are ideally suited for industrial recycling applications.

These machines shred a wide range of materials, from plastics to files or data carriers to recyclables. You can also use these systems for professional product destruction. In addition, the solutions from Hunkeler Systeme offer a modular design, which allows them to be adapted to different areas and requirements.
