Endless piles of rubbish – ugly, but hard to avoid. No problem for the coarse-shredders from ERDWICH. Wherever large quantities of industrial waste as well as bulk and household refuse have to be disposed of rapidly, they unremittingly do their job – with powerful forward and reverse cutting tools. The best precondition for quick further processing or disposal. Thus, the ERDWICH coarse-shredders more than satisfy the requirements of municipalities for highly efficient treatment systems for municipal refuse. In daily use as coarse-shredder before processing in incineration plants, for disintegrating bales and for processing at waste collection sites. The core of our coarse-shredders is a patented cutting system consisting of axially coupled knives. Counter-blades located at the side panels and on the support in the middle of the cutting gear allow the shredding procedure to occur alternately at both sides of the knives, however never at the same time. In this way, the power required is considerably reduced – an optimal size reduction with high throughput up to 80t/h is reached. Therefore ERDWICH coarse-shredders are unquestionably the first choice for efficiently reprocessing large quantities of waste.
