Difference between metal shredders and ordinary shredders

Many customers ask what is the difference between metal shredders and ordinary shredders? How to choose when purchasing. There are significant differences in design and application between metal shredders and ordinary shredders to adapt to the shredding needs of different types of materials. Below we will distinguish the differences between heavy-duty metal shredders and ordinary shredders in several aspects:

1. Structure and design:

Metal Shredder: Designed for processing high-strength and high-hardness metal materials, usually with a more solid and wear-resistant structure. Their blades are made of special alloy steel or hard materials to cope with the hard and highly abrasive nature of metals.

Ordinary shredder: Its structure is relatively simple, and the blade material is mostly ordinary steel, which is suitable for shredding lower-strength materials.

2. Power and torque:

Metal shredder: requires stronger power and greater torque to shred metal. It is usually equipped with a high-power motor and a powerful transmission system to provide enough power to handle metal scrap.

Ordinary shredder: It requires low power and is suitable for shredding low-density and low-hardness materials. The motor power and transmission system are relatively small.

3. Maintenance and durability:

Metal shredder: Because it deals with high-strength metal materials, the equipment wears out more, requiring more frequent maintenance and blade replacement. At the same time, its components are designed to be stronger to extend the service life of the equipment.

Ordinary shredders: Due to the processing of softer materials, there is relatively less wear and tear, less frequent maintenance and blade replacement, and a longer overall service life of the equipment.

4.Blade design:

Metal Shredder: The blade design is more complex, usually with multiple blades, thick blades and high wear resistance to ensure durability and efficiency when shredding metal.

Ordinary shredder: The blade is relatively thin and the edge design is simple. The main consideration is the cutting effect and speed when shredding soft materials.

5. Application scope:

Metal shredder: widely used in metal recycling, car dismantling, scrap household appliances processing, metal processing waste processing and other occasions that require high-strength shredding.

Ordinary shredder: commonly used in garbage disposal, plastic recycling, paper recycling, wood processing and other fields, suitable for processing low-strength and large-volume non-metallic materials.

When purchasing metal shredder equipment, you can analyze the above points and select a more suitable shredder equipment based on the shredding needs of different materials and material characteristics.
