Wood shredders are essential equipment in the modern solid waste recycling industry, playing a vital role in wood recycling, biomass fuel production, and the treatment of garden green waste. Based on the types, volume, and final application requirements of the material, wood shredders are generally classified into single-shaft, double-shaft, and chipper types, with optional variants like four-shaft and mobile models, meeting the diverse needs of different industries and processing scenarios.
Single Shaft Wood Shredder
The single shaft wood shredder uses a high-speed rotor and sharp cutters to shear and reduce the size of materials. It is ideal for light and medium-density wood waste, including pallets, particle boards, plywood, offcuts, packaging boxes, and tree branches.
Key Features
- Equipped with a replaceable screen to control output size (typically 20-100mm).
- Compact design with stable operation and a small installation footprint.
- Motor power ranges from 22kW to 2×200kW, adaptable to different throughput needs.
- Ideal for precision processing with strict requirements for particle size and energy efficiency.
Commonly used in sheet processing plants, furniture factories, and recycling centers, this shredder is especially suited for the early-stage size reduction in biomass fuel production lines.
Double Shaft Wood Shredder
The double shaft wood shredder utilizes a low-speed, high-torque dual motor design. The dual rotors perform coordinated shearing to effectively break down hard and bulky materials such as logs, roots, discarded furniture, construction templates, and large wood blocks.
Key Features
- Handles large feed sizes with powerful shredding capacity.
- Anti-winding fixed blade design minimizes blockages and simplifies maintenance.
- Suitable for coarse shredding with output sizes of approximately 80-300mm.
- High throughput with power options from 30kW to 2×200kW.
Widely used in furniture dismantling sites, wood pretreatment facilities, and bulky waste centers, this shredder is ideal for the primary and secondary reduction of large-scale wood waste.
Wood Chipper (Multifunctional Integrated Crusher)
The wood chipper integrates feeding, shredding, screening, and discharging in one compact unit. It’s designed for processing fluffy, lightweight, or irregular materials like branches, straw, bamboo chips, garden waste, and thin boards.
Key Features
- Built-in automatic feeding and conveying system for simplified operation.
- High output capacity, up to 20–30 tons per hour.
- Adjustable discharge size (30–150mm) to match biomass fuel preparation standards.
- Hydraulic maintenance system for easy servicing and reduced downtime.
Perfect for large agricultural bases, landscaping waste processing, and biomass power plants, this machine is essential for quickly converting green waste into usable resources.
