Shredders for Metals Recycling

Shred through the toughest compressible materials

Two-Shaft Shredder

 

Two-shaft shredders from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) are engineered for high-torque, low-speed reduction of metals, tires, and bulky industrial waste. These machines are built to handle compressible and irregular scrap streams with consistent performance, long-term durability, and minimal maintenance.

ERS two-shaft shredders feature dual rotors that rotate slowly and independently, pulling material inward and fragmenting it through intermeshing cutter stacks. This low-speed, high-torque approach minimizes dust, reduces noise, and delivers uniform particle sizing without the need for screens or secondary grinding. The result is a clean, controlled reduction process that prepares scrap for downstream separation or compaction.

Each shredder is built with rib-reinforced housings and precision-machined components to maintain shaft alignment and gearbox stability under heavy loads. The cutter stacks are arranged for aggressive intake and efficient fragmentation, making these shredders ideal for tires, aluminum profiles, steel drums, and mixed industrial waste. ERS offers multiple rotor lengths and cutter configurations to match specific material types and throughput requirements.

Hydraulic drive options are available for facilities requiring enhanced torque and overload protection. These systems allow for variable speed control, automatic reversal, and smooth operation under fluctuating material loads. Gearbox-driven models offer consistent performance for predictable scrap streams, with reduced energy consumption and simplified maintenance.

ERS integrates two-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.

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. ERS engineers configure each system to match facility layout, material flow, and operational goals, ensuring seamless integration and maximum ROI.

Two-shaft shredders are trusted across the recycling industry for their ability to handle diverse scrap streams with consistent results. From tires and metal drums to composite waste and oversized packaging, ERS shredders deliver the power and precision needed to transform waste into valuable feedstock.

By investing in two-shaft shredders 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.
