Guidetti PMG 400 pre-shredder from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is a compact, high-efficiency solution for primary reduction of electric cables, non-ferrous metals, composite materials, and industrial waste. Designed and manufactured in Italy by Guidetti, and integrated by ERS into complete recycling systems, this unit delivers robust performance, CE-compliant safety, and seamless compatibility with downstream processing.

The PMG 400 is part of Guidetti’s renowned PMG Series—versatile, compact-sized machines engineered for high cutting efficiency and easy integration. With a footprint of just 1560 mm in length and a total weight of 1,420 kg, the PMG 400 fits easily into tight production environments while maintaining industrial-grade durability. Its 12.5 kW motor delivers the torque needed to process a wide range of materials, including copper and aluminum cables, rubber, plastics, wood, paper, and composites.

The shredding process begins with manual or automatic feeding into the dual-shaft cutting chamber. The intermeshing blades fragment the material at low speed, minimizing dust and noise while ensuring consistent particle sizing. The PMG 400 is often 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 longevity.

ERS integrates the Guidetti PMG 400 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 400 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 400 is CE-certified and built to meet strict European safety regulations. Its compact design includes sealed bearings, reinforced housings, and a user-friendly control interface, making it ideal for continuous operation with minimal oversight.

Production capacity ranges from 300 to 3,000 kg/h depending on material type and configuration. The PMG 400 is especially effective in cable recycling applications, where it delivers clean, pre-sized output that enhances the efficiency of downstream granulators and separators. Its ability to handle both flexible and rigid materials makes it a versatile tool for processors seeking compact power and precision.

Each installation begins with a detailed assessment of material flow, facility layout, and production goals. ERS engineers configure the PMG 400 and supporting systems to match your operational needs, ensuring smooth integration and long-term ROI. The shredder’s modular design allows for future upgrades, including screen changes, magnetic separation enhancements, and automated feeding systems.

By investing in the Guidetti PMG 400 pre-shredder from ERS, manufacturers gain a compact yet 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.
