SSI - Low Speed Shredding Technology

Power consumption is a key factor for many material processors today. SSI machinery is designed to minimize consumption by utilizing drives configured to application-specific criteria. SSI also offers an array of reduced voltage starting options for customers who are in an area where they are assessed off of peak current draw.

Low-speed shredders do not generate enough inertia to produce impact noise or large amounts of dust like higher speed machinery can. SSI shredders produce low noise levels and low dust emissions when compared to higher speed technologies. Vibration can cause stress fractures and component damage. Due to the low-speed design of SSIs shredders, these machines produce minimal amounts of vibration when compared to high-speed technologies which allow for no special foundation requirements.

SSI shredders are designed with large amounts of surface area to wear on consumable parts. When coupled with the low operating speed of the machine, this produces a recipe for long-lasting equipment with minimal downtime. These low-speed rotary shear shredders process baled, bulky or ferrous contaminated materials without special preparation, making them ideal preprocessors for a variety of high-speed equipment. SSI’s low-speed design incorporates programmable processing controls to aid metered feeding to downstream equipment.
