About our Shredders
The WasteXpert Shredder is an industry-grade machine meant as a vital initial process in organic waste management whereby large and hard food and garden waste is turned into small manageable pieces. The machine can be used to process tough wastes such as coconut husks or plant stems of 60mm in diameter, sugarcane waste, pet bottles etc.
Designed to operate continuously, the shredder comes with stainless steel 304 construction to guarantee longevity, anti-corrosive capabilities, and superior hygiene levels. This particular equipment comes with a system of safety mechanisms that include overload protection and auto-reverse systems, which ensure that the shredding chamber is cleaned out automatically.
These shredders come in several sizes, starting from 100 kg/hr all the way up to 1000 kg/hr, and offer an incredibly quiet (<65dB) option for commercial kitchens as well as heavy-duty industrial kitchens.
Features of the WasteXpert Shredder
The WasteXpert Shredder is engineered as a high-performance mechanical unit designed to process diverse organic streams into manageable particles. Below are the technical features of the Shredder series:
- Dual Rotating Shafts Cutting Mechanism: Designed with two shafts whose rotation uses high-torque shearing action that cuts all kinds of material from food waste to hard organics such as coconuts and branches, including those of 60mm sizes.
- Hardened Steel Blades: Has specially made blades which have been properly carburized and hardened so that they do not lose their shape while under stress of continuous processing.
- Scalable Capacities: Comes in different models with process rates varying between 100 kg/hr to 1000 kg/hr (1 Ton).
- Continuous Induction Motors: Runs on industrial motors, 2 to 7.5 HP, which enable continuous operations as long as they operate in well-ventilated conditions.
- Electrical Overload/Overheat Protection: Equipped with Overload/Overheat protection mechanisms that prevent damage to electric parts in case of high volume processing.
- Automatic Reverse System: Fitted with an auto-reverse mechanism that detects obstruction within the chamber and reverts shaft motion direction.
- Stainless Steel 304 Full Construction: Comprising an SS304 or MS grade outer body with a shred chamber, it offers excellent protection against corrosion and also to withstand high saline environments like those in the Goa casino ship waste solutions ensuring ease of maintenance.
- Large Capacity Hopper: The machine is equipped with a high-capacity hopper (up to 120 liters) that ensures efficient handling of large quantities of organic waste.
Benefits of the WasteXpert Shredder
-
Rapid Decomposition: With reduced organic matter being broken down into small, identical particles, the shredder creates greater surface areas for bacteria to act on, thus dramatically accelerating the rate of decomposition in digesters or composters.
-
Large-Scale Space Reduction: The machine helps cut down on the vast physical space required to store large amounts of garden and food waste by enabling their massive compaction.
-
Robust Structure for Tough Waste: The high-torque system easily handles the breakdown of hard organic matter like coconut shells, palm leaves, and branches, that are usually difficult for traditional waste processing machines to handle.
-
Immediate Cost Saving: The shredder minimizes the raw amount of waste by compacting it at its source, saving on the number of trips to haul the waste away, therefore cutting down on transportation and disposal costs.
-
Greater Worker Efficiency: The automatic, non-stop working model negates the need for manual chopping of waste, saving workers’ time for other pressing duties in the kitchen or plant facilities.
-
Avoidance of Machine Breakdowns: The use of the shredder as a pre-treatment process ensures that subsequent equipment is shielded from obstructions and mechanical wear, thus increasing the longevity of all waste management equipment you own.
How Does the WasteXpert Shredder Work
Step by Step Process
WasteXpert Shredder is designed as a high torque pre-processing machine that converts tough organic waste into a consistent, high-density mass flow. By the use of industry-standard cutting techniques, the machine prepares bulky waste optimally for further processing through composting and digestion.
-
Step 1: Large Volume LoadingOrganic waste and garden waste are loaded into the High-Capacity Hopper. The food waste management system is intended to work continuously, thus providing an opportunity for constant feeding of organic waste in any quantity, from vegetable peelings to coconut shells and wood branches of up to 60 mm.
-
Step 2: Automated Double-Shaft ShreddingAfter being fed into the machine, the organic waste is shredded by the Double Shaft Cutting Device. The shafts feature specially engineered cutting blades moving at different rotational speeds. They generate strong torque shearing force, pulling the material through them and simultaneously cleaning the blades.
-
Step 3: Optimal Sizing and DisintegrationThe blades made of durable steel cut the organic waste into a uniform shred size (either 6x30-50mm or 12x50-100mm), depending on the model. The larger surface area of the waste that this machine creates ensures faster microorganism degradation in composters or more effective water removal in dewaterers.
-
Step 4: Efficient Organic DischargeThe resulting output is discharged as a coherent organic flow. This material takes up much less space compared to the original waste. It can be easily transported for further disposal or recycling processes.
