Single Shaft Shredder

Single Shaft Shredder: Superior Shredding Power

The most challenging and critical stage of the production process in recycling facilities is reducing bulky, thick, and high-resistance waste to a size suitable for the next processing step (crushing or granulation). Oğuz Makina Single Shaft Shredder systems are heavy-duty machines designed to shred thick, hard, or flexible waste with high torque. These systems directly increase the capacity of your recycling line by perfectly sizing large-mass materials that traditional crushers struggle with or cannot process.

How Does a Single Shaft Shredder Work?

At the heart of the machine is a single rotating rotor (shaft) equipped with special alloy and wear-resistant cutting blades. When the tough material to be shredded is fed into the hopper, an intelligent hydraulic pusher (ram) unit pushes the material continuously and regularly toward the rotating rotor. The material is shredded by the powerful shearing (cutting) action between the moving blades on the rotating shaft and the stationary blades on the machine body.

The screen system located at the lower outlet section of the machine keeps the output particle size under control. Material can only exit the chamber when it reaches the desired size (the diameter of the screen). These screens, which have different hole diameters, feature an ergonomic design that allows operators to change them quickly and easily.

Oğuz Makina Technology and Engineering Advantages

Oğuz Makina shredder systems are supported by intelligent automation to operate in heavy industrial conditions without failure. The machine is equipped with an advanced PLC control unit and hydraulic pressure sensors that protect the system against variable physical structures of the material being processed, such as thickness and hardness. This automation prevents the blades from being overstressed or jammed, protecting the shaft, preventing machine damage (downtime), and allowing for high-capacity, 24/7 continuous operation.

We offer solutions in different sizes according to your production capacity and the volume of the material you will process:

• Standard Series: Manufactured in rotor lengths between 65 cm and 200 cm.

• PROPLUS (Heavy-Duty) Series: Manufactured in rotor lengths between 100 cm and 300 cm for much larger-scale and demanding industrial tasks.

• V-Shaped Architecture: The special "V" shaped architecture of the rotor blades provides a more stable grip of the material, offering a flawless and powerful cutting process.

• Drive Motors: Drive motor powers range from 22 kW to 132 kW depending on the size of the model, and system-specific hydraulic power units are integrated.

Where Does It Provide Maximum Performance?

Oğuz Makina Single Shaft Shredder machines work with high efficiency across a wide spectrum, from flexible plastic to hard materials. Primary application areas include:

• Bulky plastic purges and injection production waste

• Waste nylon bales, agricultural and industrial films

• PP (Polypropylene) bulk big bags and flexible packaging waste

• End-of-life automobile, truck, and construction vehicle tires

• Thick-walled plastic pipes, barrels, and rigid transport crates
