Guidetti PMG 1600 pre-shredder from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is a CE-certified hydraulic solution for high-capacity primary reduction of electric cables, non-ferrous metals, composite materials, and industrial waste. Designed by Guidetti and integrated by ERS, this heavy-duty unit delivers aggressive intake, consistent fragmentation, and seamless compatibility with large-scale recycling systems.

The PMG 1600 belongs to Guidetti’s PMG Series of single-shaft pre-shredders, engineered for high cutting efficiency and modular integration. With a production capacity ranging from 300 to 3,000 kg/h depending on material type and configuration, the PMG 1600 is ideal for copper and aluminum cables, rubber, plastics, wood, paper, and composite scrap. Its hydraulic drive system ensures long-term performance under continuous load, supported by a dedicated hydraulic control unit rated at 132 kW.

The shredding process begins with manual or automated feeding into the cutting chamber. Intermeshing blades fragment the material at low speed, minimizing dust and noise while delivering uniform particle sizing. The PMG 1600 is typically paired with a magnetic pulley or overband separator—available in multiple sizes—to remove ferrous contaminants before further shredding or granulation. This step protects downstream equipment and improves overall system efficiency.

ERS integrates the Guidetti PMG 1600 into complete recycling lines, combining it with conveyors, granulators, air separation systems, and dust extraction units. Whether you're processing cable scrap, e-waste, or mixed industrial feedstock, the PMG 1600 serves as the first stage of reduction, preparing material for efficient separation and recovery. Its performance supports high throughput, reduced labor, and compliance with environmental and safety standards.

Maintenance is simplified through easy-access panels and a rotary valve system that ensures smooth material flow. The PMG 1600 includes sealed bearings, reinforced housings, and a user-friendly control interface. These features make it ideal for continuous operation with minimal oversight, even in demanding industrial environments.

The PMG 1600’s design includes a conveyor belt with magnetic pulley, allowing for inline ferrous separation and streamlined material handling. This configuration reduces wear on cutting components and enhances the purity of the shredded output. ERS engineers configure each installation to match facility layout, material flow, and production goals, ensuring seamless integration and long-term ROI.

The shredder’s modular architecture allows for future upgrades, including screen changes, magnetic separation enhancements, and automated feeding systems. Its ability to handle both flexible and rigid materials makes it a versatile tool for processors seeking high-capacity performance and precision.

By investing in the Guidetti PMG 1600 pre-shredder from ERS, manufacturers gain a powerful solution for metals recycling, cable processing, and composite material reduction. This machine is built to transform challenging scrap into clean, manageable feedstock—supporting sustainable operations and profitable recovery.
