Materials

Typical Application Areas

All applications are different, but the goal is the same: to make sure your shredder adds value to your operation.

Ideal for processing flexible, semi-rigid and selected rigid plastics — as a stand-alone machine or in line with a repelletizing system.
Plastic film Bio-plastics Injection moulding parts Blow-moulded materials Fibre and non-woven fabrics
Engineering

Built for Real Production

Robust, built to last

Strong frame construction for stability under daily production use.

Rugged rotor bearings

Protected with dust protection flanges for a longer service life.

Flexible discharge options

Configurable material discharge to fit your production line.

Long-lasting knives

Stator knives can be turned and used four times before re-sharpening. Rotor knives can be rotated and used four times before replacement, and are bolted for easy replacement.

Durable electrical components

Schneider Electric HMI and PLC, with an intuitive touch interface for the operator.

Easy cleaning

Easy access to the cutting chamber lets operators clean thoroughly between materials, preventing contamination on the next job.

Sustainability

Built to Extend the Life of Your Materials

Green Extrusion Technology’s shredder solutions enable customers to recycle plastic materials into new products, rather than sending residual material to waste. This is a win on many levels: customers extract greater value from their plastic raw materials, and the environment is not impacted by unnecessary plastic waste.

Our machines are built with sustainable, reusable and durable materials. Electrical components come from Schneider Electric’s Green Premium series, known for their sustainability and longevity.

Designed and manufactured in Denmark.

Built with durable, serviceable European components and delivered with a two-year guarantee.
