Shredders - Import export

Reducing transportation costs, compressing material for feeding to existing pressed-waste containers or baling presses, or shredding of material for conveyor belt feeding are good reasons for deploying a cardboard shredder. With the EKZ cardboard shredder and FKZ paperboard shredder, ERDWICH’s two rugged machines offer 100% process reliability in a range of form factors. Whether you need to shred packaging or process cardboard waste for feeding into existing conveyor systems, ERDWICH can always offer you a perfect solution tailored to your requirements.

Every year, Germany produces around 10 million tonnes of cardboard and paperboard for the packaging industry. After their use, these items of cardboard packaging and boxes must then be reduced in volume before passing through the recycling process. This volume reduction step is performed by recycling companies and public recycling depots or in cardboard packaging and corrugated board factories. Reasons for volume reduction: For these requirements, ERDWICH has developed a specialised product range – the EKZ and FKZ cardboard shredders – which can be supplied in a range of sizes. The ERDWICH plant items have been designed as a perfect match for downstream transportation systems. The EKZ has two shafts with independent drives: one high-speed shredder shaft and one slow-speed feed-in shaft. The feed-in shaft feeds the packaging to the shredder shaft, which then shreds the cardboard into fragments of the desired size. The machines can also easily handle fruit crates and polystyrene...

The uniform shredding of coarse materials: that’s the speciality of the ERDWICH three-shaft shredder. ERDWICH has created the three-shaft design especially for these requirements. Entirely free of clogging and jamming – even with solid materials. Clever, huh? Absolutely: after all, the three cutter shafts and their individual sets of blades rotate at different speeds, so as to continuously pull in and precisely shred the feedstock material. If the material is too large, the sweeper shaft simply transfers the material to the lower cutter shafts for further size reduction. Again and again – until the material is the exact size as specified. Tirelessly, and with perfect reliability. Fragment size selection itself is achieved by the perforated screen substructure through which the material exits after the shredding process. Precise shredding of large and solid materials. That’s what ERDWICH does.

Continuous-process shredding of large quantities and volumes: that’s the world of the ERDWICH two-shaft shredder. The secret of its success is our ERDWICH rotor-blade cutting principle, honed to perfection over decades. Want to know more? The material is taken up by the barbed blade, pulled unceremoniously into the machine and then shredded between the blades on the two opposing shafts. Whatever the material – e.g. special waste, WEEE, metal swarf, electrical waste or bulky items – even hard to shred, large-volume materials stand no chance against these two mighty cutter shafts. Perfect results are even guaranteed from fibrous, moist, heat-sensitive, elastic and rubbery materials. And, thanks to its mode of operation as a slow-speed piece of equipment, the ERDWICH two-shaft shredder also features quiet and largely dust-free operation. You can rely on the power and the technology of the ERDWICH two-shaft shredder. Continuous-process shredding of large quantities and volumes:...

Achieving precision material breakdown in just a single operation: that’s the proven capability of the Erdwich single-shaft shredder. How does it do it? The material is taken up by the cutting rotor and shredded repeatedly against the stator blade, using the tried-and-tested rotor/stator principle. This continues until the desired size has been achieved and the material can pass through the perforated screen underneath. The result is impressive: superior efficiency and optimum reliability for predefined fragment sizes. Choose the mature and highly economical technology of the ERDWICH single-shaft shredder for your application.
