Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Shredders

Common questions about industrial shredding equipment, materials, pricing, shipping to Canada and the United States, and after-sales support.

What types of industrial shredders do you offer?

We offer single-shaft shredders, double-shaft (dual-shaft) shredders, four-shaft shredders, hammer mills, and complete turnkey shredding lines. Each type is designed for specific materials and throughput requirements.

What materials can your shredders process?

Our shredders handle tires (including OTR and steel-belted), wood waste, pallets, plastics, e-waste, circuit boards, MSW (municipal solid waste), rubber, biomass, textiles, medical waste, and industrial scrap.

Do you ship shredders to Canada and the United States?

Yes. We deliver factory-direct to all provinces in Canada and all 50 US states. Major service areas include Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, and major US cities. Typical delivery time is 4-8 weeks depending on configuration.

What is the starting price for an industrial shredder?

Starting prices range from approximately $15,000 USD for hammer mills to $80,000+ USD for complete shredding lines. Single-shaft shredders start around $18,500 USD and double-shaft shredders from $25,000 USD. Final pricing depends on capacity, motor power, and custom configuration.

How do I choose between a single-shaft and double-shaft shredder?

Single-shaft shredders are best for controlled output size with a screen, ideal for wood, plastics, and light materials. Double-shaft shredders use counter-rotating shafts for high-torque tearing, best for tough materials like whole tires, bulky waste, and heavy industrial scrap. We recommend double-shaft for materials over 1200mm or requiring brute force.

Do you provide installation and commissioning support?

Yes. We offer remote technical guidance for installation and can arrange on-site commissioning and operator training. Our engineering team provides equipment layout drawings and foundation specifications before delivery.

What is the typical throughput capacity of your shredders?

Throughput ranges from 1 TPH for compact four-shaft fine shredders up to 60 TPH for complete shredding lines. Single-shaft models handle 2-30 TPH, double-shaft models 3-40 TPH. Actual throughput depends on material type, feed size, and desired output size.

How do I get a quote for shredding equipment?

Fill out the Request Quote form on our website with your material type, desired throughput, and target output size. Our engineering team will respond within 24 hours with a custom-configured quote including equipment specs, layout, and pricing.

What warranty and after-sales support do you provide?

All equipment includes a standard 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. We stock replacement cutters, screens, bearings, and spare parts for fast shipping to North America. Extended warranty and maintenance contracts are available.

Can you design a complete recycling line for my project?

Yes. We design and supply complete turnkey shredding and recycling systems including primary shredders, secondary shredders, conveyors, magnetic separators, screening equipment, balers, and dust collection. Each line is engineered to your specific material, throughput, and output requirements.
