Metal shredders are essential machines in the recycling and waste management industries, designed to process various types of materials, including metals. This article will explore the specifications and features of three common types of metal shredders: single-shaft shredders, dual-shaft shredders, and hammer shredders.
Single-Shaft Shredders
Overview: Single-shaft shredders utilize a single rotating shaft equipped with sharp blades to cut materials into smaller pieces. They are ideal for fine shredding a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and wood.
Specifications of GEP's Single-Shaft Shredders:

| GSE312 | 1-5 | 30-120 | 3000×2000×3000 |
| GSE315 | 3-10 | 3600×2000×3000 | |
| GSE320 | 6-18 | 3800×2000×3000 | |
| GSE330 | 10-25 | 5600×2200×3300 |
Dual-Shaft Shredders
Overview: Dual-shaft shredders consist of two counter-rotating shafts, making them highly efficient for shredding tough materials like metal drums and heavy metal parts.
Specifications of GEP's Dual-Shaft Shredders:
| Model | Capacity (t/h) | Output size (mm) | Dimension (mm) |
| GDI8 | 5-10 | 100-300 | 5000×2650×3300 |
| GDI9 | 8-15 | 5300×2750×3400 | |
| GDI10 | 10-20 | 5500×2850×3500 | |
| GDI12 | 15-30 | 6000×3250×3600 | |
| GDI13 | 20-40 | 6400×3500×4000 | |
| GDI15 | 30-50 | 6900×3700×4500 |
Hammer Shredders
Overview: Hammer shredders use high-speed rotating hammers to crush materials into smaller pieces. They are particularly effective for softer metals and mixed materials.
Specifications of GEP's Hammer Shredders:
| Model | Power (KW) | Feeding port size (MM) | Rotor rotation diameter (MM) | Number of hammers | Dimensions (MM) | Weight (T) |
| GHC315 | 315 | 1400X420 | 1020 | 32 | 5830X6500X5515 | 40 |
| GHC450 | 450 | 1600X450 | 1200 | 36 | 7251X11257X8500 | 60 |
| GHC900 | 900 | 2200X500 | 1550 | 36 | 7670X13555X8930 | 100 |
Choosing the right metal shredder depends on the specific requirements of the application, including material type, desired output size, and processing capacity. Each shredder type offers distinct advantages, making them valuable assets in recycling and waste management operations. By understanding their specifications, businesses can make informed decisions to optimize their shredding processes.
