How Does A Metal Shredder Work？

With the rapid expansion of the environmental protection market. Metal shredder machine is a professional equipment used to process scrap metal. After shredding the end of the scrap metal to facilitate the subsequent recycling and reuse. The scrap metal material can be shredded into small pieces by powerful mechanical force.

Metal shredder is mainly composed of: blade, disc, spindle, frame, hopper, transmission, motor, control cabinet and other key components. Hopper is responsible for the metal waste to be processed to the shredding chamber, blade and rotary shaft is the core component in the shredding process. Through the relative movement of the two blade shafts to achieve material shredding. The frame is to provide the support structure of the whole equipment.

How Does A Metal Shredder Work

Metal shredder working principle

The motor serves as the power source of the whole equipment. The main shaft is driven to rotate through the pulley and reducer. During the whole process of rotation, the relative motion between the two knife shafts is generated. The knives tear, rip and shear the material to achieve multiple crushing. It makes the metal shredder efficiently shred metal items into small pieces. The torque and power of the electric motor are key factors in the processing efficiency and crushing capacity of the metal shredder. The motor can transfer energy to the knife shaft. It drives the blades in a rotating motion. The shape, number and thickness of the shredding blades are designed according to the crushing requirements. The blades are usually made of high-strength alloy materials. This ensures that the shredding and crushing needs of metal materials are met. The main function of the speed reducer is: the motor rotates at high speed to apply the rotational speed of the shredding blades to ensure the stable operation of the blades. In the shredding process, the blade rotates at high speed to shear, tear and squeeze the metal materials. So as to achieve the purpose of crushing.
