Three-shaft shredders from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) are engineered for high-precision reduction of metals, plastics, and bulky industrial waste. These machines feature a triple-rotor configuration that delivers fine fragmentation, controlled output sizing, and consistent performance in demanding recycling environments.

The shredding process begins with aggressive intake through three intermeshing shafts, each rotating independently to pull material inward and fragment it with precision. This multi-shaft design allows for tighter particle control, reduced dust, and improved throughput compared to traditional dual-shaft systems. The result is a clean, uniform output that supports downstream separation, refining, or compaction.

ERS three-shaft shredders are built with rib-reinforced housings and CNC-machined components to maintain shaft alignment and gearbox stability under heavy loads. The cutter stacks are arranged for maximum contact and efficient fragmentation, making these shredders ideal for aluminum profiles, plastic drums, composite waste, and oversized packaging materials. Multiple rotor lengths and cutter configurations are available to match specific material types and production goals.

Hydraulic drive options provide enhanced torque and overload protection, allowing for variable speed control and automatic reversal during peak loads. Gearbox-driven models offer consistent performance for predictable scrap streams, with reduced energy consumption and simplified maintenance. ERS engineers configure each system to match facility layout, material flow, and operational requirements.

Maintenance access is streamlined through hinged covers and service panels, allowing operators to inspect and clean the shredder without extended downtime. Shaft couplings and bearing assemblies are designed for longevity, with protective seals that resist contamination and wear. These features ensure smooth operation, reduced wear, and minimal downtime in high-volume industrial settings.

ERS integrates three-shaft shredders into complete processing lines, pairing them with conveyors, mills, separators, and dust collection systems. Whether you're handling automotive scrap, e-waste, or bulky packaging waste, these shredders serve as the primary reduction stage, preparing material for final sizing and commodity recovery. Their performance supports high recovery rates, reduced labor costs, and compliance with environmental standards.

Each installation begins with a detailed assessment of material types, volume, and facility layout. ERS engineers design the shredder and supporting systems to match operational goals, ensuring seamless integration and maximum ROI. Three-shaft shredders are trusted across the recycling industry for their reliability, throughput, and ability to handle diverse scrap streams.

By investing in a three-shaft shredder from ERS, manufacturers gain a robust solution for metals recycling, waste reduction, and sustainable operations. These machines are built to support cleaner workflows, profitable recovery, and long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.
