Key Equipment for Solid Waste Resource Utilization

With the promotion of “Zero Waste Cities” and the dual carbon goals, the efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly treatment of industrial solid waste, bulky waste, waste appliances, waste plastics, and other discarded materials has become an urgent need. As a critical pre-treatment device in solid waste resource utilization, the shredder plays a key role in volume reduction, homogenization, and sorting. Whether for producing RDF substitute fuel, recycling metals and plastics, or providing qualified materials for incineration and cement kiln co-processing, the shredding stage directly affects the efficiency and economic benefits of subsequent processes. In this context, shredding equipment that features high stability, strong adaptability, and intelligent control has become a valuable “assistant” for resource recycling enterprises.

1. Types and Processing Capacity of Wiscon Shredders

Wiscon shredders are mainly divided into single shaft, double shaft, and four shaft types, each designed for specific solid waste treatment applications. Below are the detailed classifications:

1. Double Shaft Shredders

• Models: DS Double Shaft Shredder, DL Double Shaft Shredder
• Applicable Materials: Bulky waste, old furniture, industrial solid waste, ton bags, plastic barrels, waste leather, biomass, kitchen waste, etc.
• Processing Capacity: 1–60 tons per hour (depending on the model).
• Output Size: 40–300mm (adjustable through knife spacing).
• Features: Low speed, high torque, anti-winding, and impact resistance. Ideal for coarse crushing, especially for large waste materials.

2. Single Shaft Shredders

• Models: P Series Single Shaft Shredder, T Series Single Shaft Shredder, M Series Single Shaft Shredder
• Applicable Materials: Pre-shredded plastics, wood, RDF raw materials, straw, metals, waste textiles, etc.
• Processing Capacity: 0.5–25 tons per hour.
• Output Size: 40–120mm (controlled by screen for uniform particle size).
• Features: High-speed cutting, ideal for secondary fine crushing, widely used for materials that require efficient fine shredding.

3. Four Shaft Shredders

• Models: Q Series Four Shaft Shredder
• Applicable Materials: Discarded metal barrels, used tires, waste plastics, car body shells, scrap electrical appliance shells, and other tough waste materials.
• Processing Capacity: 1–15 tons per hour.
• Output Size: 40–150mm (adjustable).
• Features: Dual-row blades working in coordination, adopting two-stage crushing design, optimizing crushing effect, and producing uniform particle size. Particularly suitable for handling tough and difficult-to-shred waste materials.

2. Cost of Shredders and Purchase Recommendations

The price of shredders varies depending on factors such as type, specifications, configuration, and production process. In general, small P-series shredders are more affordable, with prices starting at several tens of thousands of RMB. However, larger single shaft M-series, double shaft, and four shaft shredders, due to their higher processing capacity and configuration, can cost several hundred thousand RMB or even more. Other factors, such as materials, brand, and after-sales service, can also affect the price.

Small Shredders: Small equipment like the P-series is suitable for medium- to small-scale waste treatment, with prices usually below several hundred thousand RMB.

Large Shredders: Larger models like the M-series single shaft, DL double shaft, and Q-series four shaft shredders have higher prices, suitable for large-scale solid waste treatment projects, with costs ranging from several hundred thousand to over a million RMB.

When selecting a shredder, it is important to base the decision on the specific material characteristics, processing capacity needs, and budget. It is recommended to consider not only the efficiency and energy consumption of the equipment but also maintenance costs and post-purchase support services.
