Single Shaft Shredder: An Efficient Tool for Multi-Scenario Waste Disposal

1. Equipment Overview: Deep Integration of Structure and Function

A single shaft shredder takes the cutter shaft, fixed knife, bearing box, hydraulic system, and electrical control system as its core components. It realizes the crushing of waste materials such as wood, rubber, plastic, and metal through the rotating shear of a single rotor. Its horizontal plunger feeding method is suitable for coiled and bundled materials. The rotor diameter ranges from 300 to 500 millimeters, which can meet the needs of different processing volumes.

2. Application Scenarios: A Versatile Player Covering Nine Types of Waste

(1) Vehicle Parts Field

It can handle waste tires, oil filters, engine casings, waste copper and aluminum parts, and iron forklift pallets with a thickness of < 10mm. For example, for waste tires from automobile dismantling plants, the rubber particles can be used to make recycled rubber products after shredding, and the metal framework can be directly recycled for steelmaking.

(2) Barrel Material Field

Plastic barrels, metal barrels, paint buckets, IBC tanks, etc. can all be crushed. Taking the discarded IBC tanks of chemical enterprises as an example, the plastic tank body and metal frame can be separated and recycled after crushing, and the resource recovery rate reaches more than 95%.

(3) Metal Products Field

Waste metals such as aluminum, cans, metal cans, waste aluminum sheets, and iron sheets can be smelted and recycled after being shredded. When a recycling station processes cans, the single shaft shredder increases the metal sorting efficiency by 40%.

(4) Waste Disposal Field

Domestic waste, kitchen waste, industrial waste, garden waste, etc. can be crushed and reduced in volume. In the treatment of urban domestic waste, the single shaft shredder can crush bulky waste to 1/5 of its original volume, significantly reducing the pressure of landfill or incineration.

(5) Plastic Products Field

Plastic pipes, plastic bottles, woven bags, rolled films and other plastic products can be directly granulated after crushing. The waste pipe fittings of a plastic processing factory can be used to produce new plastic daily necessities after treatment.

(6) Wood and Paper Field

Branches, building formwork, newspapers, corrugated paper, etc. can be used as biomass fuel or papermaking raw materials after crushing. The waste formwork on the construction site can reach 70% of the calorific value of standard coal after treatment.

(7) Electronic and Electrical Field

Electronic waste such as circuit boards, computer casings, and waste TVs can be separated into plastic and metal after crushing. After treatment of waste computer casings, the plastic recovery rate exceeds 90%, and the metal can be directly used for smelting.

(8) Glass Products Field

Glass wool, FRP products, etc. can be used to make recycled glass fiber products after crushing. The fiber recovery rate of waste FRP pipes can reach 85% after treatment.

(9) Medical Waste Field

Small medical devices, infectious waste, plastic waste, etc. are convenient for harmless treatment after crushing. In medical waste treatment centers, single shaft shredders can crush needles, syringes, etc. to a safe particle size.

3. Core Features: Dual Advantages of Cost and Efficiency

(1) Strong Material Adaptability

It is especially good at handling materials with strong entanglement (such as waste wires and cables) and can be compatible with materials containing a small amount of thin metal. Yuxi mini single shaft shredder is 30% more efficient in crushing such materials than traditional equipment.

(2) Low Operating Cost

The use and maintenance cost of cutters is low, and replacement can be completed with conventional tools; the equipment price is 20% - 40% lower than that of double-shaft and three-shaft shredders, and the procurement threshold for small and medium-sized enterprises is lower.

(3) Adjustable Finished Product Granularity

The finished product size can be precisely controlled by replacing the screen with a pore size of 10 - 25 millimeters. A 10mm screen is selected when processing plastic bottles, and a 20mm screen is selected when processing waste paper to meet the needs of different downstream processes.

4. Equipment Maintenance: Four Key Guarantees

1. Component Connection Inspection: Check the bolts at each connection of the equipment weekly to prevent failures caused by looseness.

2. Motor Current Monitoring: Record the main motor current (usually 80% - 90% of the rated current) daily, and stop the machine in time to check when abnormal.

3. Hydraulic System Maintenance: Check the hydraulic oil level and oil quality monthly to ensure that the system pressure is stable at 16 - 25MPa.

4. Tool Wear Management: Check the tools every 500 hours, and replace the small blades immediately when they are worn or damaged to avoid excessive wear affecting the crushing effect.


With its multi-scenario adaptation, low-cost operation, and high granularity controllability, the single shaft shredder has become a "game-changer" in the waste recycling field. From electronic waste to medical waste, from auto parts to wood and paper, it promotes resource circulation with efficient crushing and provides solid equipment support for industrial green development.
