Shredder
Why shredding is done...
Frequently metal chips are bushy and do not satisfy the short shoveling category necessary for either briquetting or centrifuging. In most instances it is necessary to shred bushy chips to increase bulk density for transport or infeed into melting equipment.
There are four types of shredders that are commonly used in metal chip processing. The four types are;

Shredder selection is based upon the type of metal chips and the process application. The method of infeed is critical in order to reliably deal with chip surges. If the selection is incorrect the shredder will be either unreliable or suffer catastrophic failure.
