Cardboard recycling is a vital process in the circular economy. It usually involves sorting, shredding, and compressing waste cardboard into high-density bales. This significantly reduces volume for efficient storage and transportation. The compacted material is then recycled into new paper products or used as alternative fuel. This process cuts operational costs, conserves resources, and supports sustainable waste management by giving cardboard a valuable second life.
With the rapid growth of e-commerce and logistics, cardboard packaging usage has surged, making cardboard recycling a crucial part of resource recovery. However, untreated cardboard takes up excessive space, increasing transportation costs. Direct landfilling or incineration not only wastes resources but also harms the environment. Many paper and packaging manufacturers face challenges in managing waste such as trimmings and defective products, which occupy storage space and raise disposal costs. Therefore, shredding for volume reduction and compression pressing are key steps in efficient cardboard recycling.Why Shredding is Necessary?Loose cardboard stacks are inefficient to transport. Shredding reduces volume by 50%-70%, making subsequent sorting or pressing easier;GEP ECOTECH's Double-Shaft Shredder is the ideal solution:Powerful Shredding: Low-speed, high-torque design easily processes corrugated cardboard and rigid cartons without jamming.Smart & Safe: Equipped with overload protection and auto-reverse
In Singapore, the efficient management of waste materials plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability and resource utilization. One key aspect of this effort involves the use of industrial cardboard shredders, which are pivotal in recycling and repurposing cardboard waste effectively.Application and BenefitsSimilar to their wood shredder counterparts, industrial cardboard shredders are designed to process large volumes of cardboard waste efficiently. These shredders can handle various types of cardboard materials, including boxes from shipping, packaging, and manufacturing industries. By shredding cardboard waste into smaller pieces, these machines facilitate easier handling, transportation, and subsequent recycling processes.Types of Industrial Cardboard ShreddersSingle-shaft Shredder: Known for high-speed shredding, ideal for producing finer output suitable for applications like paper-making and packaging materials.Double-shaft Shredder: Offers robust processing capabilities for mixed cardboard
The efficient processing of cardboard and wood materials is crucial in various industries. This paper aims to optimize the performance of a single-shaft shredder for handling both cardboard and wood through a combination of parameter adjustments and material preparation techniques. By identifying the key factors that affect shredding efficiency and implementing appropriate solutions, this study seeks to improve overall productivity and reduce operational costs. 1.IntroductionThe recycling and reprocessing of cardboard and wood materials play a significant role in waste management and resource conservation. Single-shaft shredders are commonly used in these operations due to their versatility and cost-effectiveness. However, achieving optimal performance requires careful consideration of several factors, including shredder parameter adjustments and material characteristics. 2.Shredder Parameter Optimization2.1. Knife Configuration: Selecting the appropriate knife configuration is crucial for efficient
Recycling of old corrugated cardboard has been a long-standing problem. Many of the materials currently on the market are still collected and packaged directly for sale, but in fact further processing of this material - into recycled paper , will have greater added value. Our complete disposal process is approximately: double-shaft shredder (as pre-shredding, discharge size about 15-20cm) + single shaft shredder (used as fine shredding, discharge size about 3cm) + magnetic separator + wet dust removal + pulse dust removal.The low-speed, high-torque double-shaft shredder allows for better capacity reduction of the material, and with the single-shaft fine shredder, the material can be processed to the desired discharge size of the customer.The magnetic separator can pick out the adulterated metal inside the material, after removing most of the metal, one way can sell it directly to increase the added value, and the other can protect the shredder cutters.Both wet and impulse dust removal ensure a high degree of
Recently, we have received a growing number of inquiries about shredders for old corrugated containers (OCC) waste. Efficient OCC recycling plays a crucial role in resource conservation and production cost optimization. By selectively recycling OCC waste generated during manufacturing, companies can turn discarded materials into valuable raw resources for producing new products. A high-performance corrugated cardboard shredder is essential for this process, enabling the efficient, economical shredding of OCC waste and helping businesses achieve both sustainability and profitability goals.
OCC Waste means old corrugated cardboard waste. It is of high value and can be recycled to make new corrugated board, kraft paper, recycled paper or other products. In order to facilitate recycling and management, people have established different grades for different OCC waste, such as OCC 11 refers to Corrugated Containers, DS OCC 12 refers to Double Sorted Corrugated. Over the past few years, China has banned the import of OCC Waste, which means more OCC Waste will be processed locally. AIShred provides optimized industrial shredding systems for paper mills, corrugate mills, and recycling centers, etc., which can efficiently shred various OCC sheets and OCC scrap to size for easy subsequent disposal. It(shredding system) can also process other industrial waste like twisted rope, light slag and so on for recycling or to produce alternative fuels.
