Double Shaft Shredder: Comprehensive Analysis of Structure, Performance, and Industry Applications

Double Shaft Shredder machine: Comprehensive Analysis of Structure, Performance, and Industry Applications


As a key equipment in the field of solid waste treatment and resource recycling, the double shaft shredder has become a core tool for multiple industries to achieve material volume reduction and resource utilization due to its efficient crushing capacity and wide applicability.


1.Equipment Structure and Technical Parameters

The double shaft shredder machine is mainly composed of two independently driven cutter shafts. The cutter shafts are equipped with special alloy steel cutters, which are manufactured through special processing technology and feature strong wear resistance, high strength, and repairability. The feeding size of the equipment can be customized within the range of 100 - 2600mm, and the production capacity covers 400 - 60,000 kg per hour. Taking the YXS series as an example, the parameters of different models are as follows:

Double Shaft Shredder


2. Working Principle

The equipment adopts an independent double-shaft drive design. During operation, the two shafts rotate relatively to shear and extrude the materials entering the cavity, realizing automatic feeding and crushing. The unique structural design avoids the problem of cutter shaft winding or jamming. It can maintain efficient operation even when processing high-toughness and high-viscosity materials (such as rubber and fibers), and is suitable for crushing various high-toughness and high-hardness materials.


3. Applicable Materials and Industry Applications

(1) Applicable Materials


It includes metal waste, plastic products, rubber tires, wood scraps, textiles, electronic waste, domestic waste, industrial solid waste, medical waste, etc. It can effectively process both hard and tough materials.


(2) Industry Applications


    •Resource Recycling Industry: Crushes waste plastics, rubber, waste paper, etc., to provide pretreatment for recycling. For example, waste plastics can be granulated to produce new plastic products after being shredded.


    •Industrial Production Field: Processes scraps and unqualified products generated during production to realize internal resource circulation of enterprises and reduce production costs.


    •Solid Waste Treatment Industry: Conducts volume reduction treatment on urban domestic waste and industrial hazardous waste to facilitate subsequent classified recycling and harmless disposal.


    •Medical Field: Crushes medical waste to avoid the spread of germs and contribute to the safe disposal of medical waste.

4. Equipment Advantages

    1.Automation and Intelligence: Equipped with a PLC control system, it has functions such as start, stop, reverse rotation, and automatic reverse rotation under overload, enabling unattended automatic operation.


    2.Outstanding Durability: The bearings adopt a six-layer sealing design, which effectively prevents water and dust, greatly extending the service life of the bearings. The split-box structure facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the cutter shaft system, reducing operation and maintenance difficulties.


    3.Customized Service: Different types of cutters can be selected according to material characteristics. Meanwhile, a variety of models (such as YX600, YX800, etc.) are available to meet the personalized needs of different processing capacities and materials.


5. Frequently Asked Questions

    1.What is the difference between a double shaft shredder and a single shaft shredder?

The double shaft shredder realizes crushing through the relative rotation of two shafts, has stronger adaptability to tough materials, and is not easy to wind materials. The single shaft shredder relies on the cooperation of the main shaft rotation and the fixed knife, and is more suitable for brittle materials. It is prone to material winding when processing tough materials.


    2.How long is the service life of the equipment cutters?

It depends on the hardness of the processed materials and the frequency of use. When processing ordinary plastics, wood, and other materials, the cutters can be used for several months to a year. When processing metals, hard plastics, and other materials, the cutters wear faster and may need to be replaced in a few weeks.


    3.What are the precautions for equipment installation?

It is necessary to ensure that the equipment installation foundation is firm and the feeding and discharging systems are connected smoothly. Check whether the circuit and oil circuit are normal before powering on, and confirm that there is no foreign matter in the cavity before starting.


    4.Is customized equipment supported?

Customized equipment is supported according to material size, processing capacity, and special process requirements. The feeding size, cutter type, equipment model, etc., can be personalized.
