Question 1

What is the difference from a knife shredder?

Accepted Answer

A metal hammer shredder shreds through impact (striking), ideal for hard and bulky materials that require breaking and deformation. A knife shredder cuts the material, better suited to materials that are easy to cut. For scrap iron, car bodies, and structural metals, the hammer principle is more efficient and more robust.

Question 2

How often are the hammers replaced?

Accepted Answer

The lifespan of the hammers depends on the type and abrasiveness of the material processed and on the volume. The hammers are inspected periodically and replaced individually when they reach the wear limit. Replacement is a planned maintenance operation, without changing the whole rotor.

Question 3

What fraction size does it produce?

Accepted Answer

The output fraction size is determined by the lower screen, which is adjustable. For finer fractions, a screen with smaller openings is fitted; for coarser fractions, a screen with larger openings. The size is chosen according to the requirements of the subsequent separation stage.

Question 4

Can it process car bodies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, after pre-treatment in accordance with ELV regulations (removal of fluids, tires, battery). A shredder of appropriate capacity processes the pre-treated bodies, breaking them through impact into fractions processable for the subsequent separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
