Paper converting and printing facilities generate significant volumes of pre-consumer waste during cutting, trimming, binding, and packaging processes. This waste includes edge trim, roll ends, misprints, matrix waste, and other offcuts—materials that are typically clean but bulky, and difficult to handle efficiently without the right processing equipment. To ensure cost-effective recycling or downstream reuse, these materials must be reduced in size, volume, and variability.
To handle the diverse characteristics of pre-consumer paper waste, GEP ECOTECH offers a range of shredding and compaction solutions. Dual-shaft shredders are ideal for bulk reduction of oversized rolls, bundled trim waste, and heavy-duty board stock. Their slow-speed, high-torque design ensures consistent performance, minimal dust, and high resistance to jamming—even when processing dense or tangled materials. For finer and more uniform output, single-shaft shredders are employed to size-reduce pre-shredded or free-flowing materials such as paper matrix and edge trim. These machines feature precision cutting rotors and adjustable screens to meet downstream requirements, such as pulping or reprocessing. In addition, baling systems can be integrated downstream to compress shredded paper into high-density bales, optimizing storage, transport, and resale value.
Double-Shaft Shredder
GEP ECOTECH shredding systems are highly configurable to meet the specific needs of different facilities—whether integrated into a fully automated production line or operated as a standalone unit. Systems can be customized with infeed conveyors, metal separation units, dust collection systems, and bale wrappers to create a seamless material handling flow from waste intake to finished bale. The result is a compact, low-maintenance solution that reduces labor, cuts storage costs, and maximizes material recovery. By reducing paper waste to uniform, manageable formats, clients can enhance plant efficiency, lower disposal expenses, and tap into new revenue streams from recycled fiber sales.
