What is the difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder?

Both single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder are commonly used in the waste recycling field, but they differ in several aspects. To explore a comprehensive comparison between these two types of shredders in terms of machine structure, material application, and operation process, Click here to get more information.

1. Machine Structure:

The Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with one shaft with rotary blades, a hydraulic-driven pusher plate/arm, and a screen beneath the rotating shaft. In contrast, the Double Shaft Shredder incorporates two shafts of blades, referred to as dual shearing shafts, and lacks a hydraulic pusher and screen. This structural difference influences their functionality and application in waste recycling.

2. Material Application:

The Single Shaft Shredder is primarily designed for shredding thick and solid materials such as molding purgings, plastic pallets, rubber rolls, wood lumbers, tree branches, bones, and wooden pallets. Conversely, the Double Shaft Shredder excels in shredding light or hollow products ranging in size from small to large, like car/truck tires, films, plastic/steel drums, and discarded electronic devices such as TVs and computers.

3. Operation Process:

In a single-shaft shredder, material fed into the hopper is continuously pushed towards the cutting shaft by the hydraulic-driven plate/arm. The rotary cutting blades then shred the material until the pieces are small enough to pass through the screen mesh. On the other hand, a double-shaft shredder processes material by the two shafts of cutting blades hooking and biting the material until it is fully shredded and discharged directly, without any screening, resulting in a more random size of shreds.
