Main motor power ranges from 110-4410kW, with a feed opening width of 760-2600mm.

• Vertical Hammer Shredder (MSE-V Series): Primarily used in scrap metal recycling, suitable for shredding IT waste, small appliances, aluminum profiles, and other scrap metals. Main motor power is 132kW.

Key Selection Factors: Your Needs Determine Everything

When selecting a industrial scrap metal shredder, several key factors require careful consideration to ensure optimal performance and return on investment. These factors directly impact the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and suitability of the shredder for your specific application. Below are essential considerations for choosing the right ENERPAT scrap metal shredder.

• Type and Size of Materials: The type of material you intend to process is a critical determinant of the shredder type. For instance, single-shaft shredders are typically more suitable for non-metallic materials. Double and four-shaft shredders excel at processing high-hardness metal scrap. Vertical hammer mill shredders are ideal for rigid, small-sized metal waste like circuit boards and oil filters. Horizontal hammer mill shredders and hydraulic double-shaft scrap metal shredders are well-suited for large metal waste such as car shells.

• Required Throughput: Select metal recycling equipment with an appropriate processing capacity to match your production scale. ENERPAT scrap metal shredders offer a wide range of processing capabilities, from 300 kg/hr to over 160 tons/hour, depending on the specific model and the type of material being processed.

• Output Size Requirements: Choose the appropriate screen size to control the output size based on the requirements of downstream processing. ENERAPT industrial scrap metal shredders support customized screen types, including round hole, hexagonal, and fishbone screens, allowing for precise control over the final product size.

• Budget: Balance the initial investment with long-term operating costs. While cheaper equipment might seem attractive initially, high-quality equipment typically results in lower maintenance costs and higher energy efficiency over the long run, providing better value in the long term.

• Other Factors:

1. 1). Plant Area: Select an equipment model that fits within the available space in your plant.

2. 2). Energy Efficiency: Choose energy-efficient equipment to reduce operating costs and minimize environmental impact.

3. 3). Noise Level: Select low-noise equipment to improve the working environment and comply with noise regulations.

4. 4). Automation Level: ENERPAT shredders are equipped with Siemens/Schneider PLC electrical systems, enabling visual operation and automatic control, which enhances production efficiency and reduces the need for manual intervention.
