Single and Double-Shaft Shredders

The volume reduction of aluminum, magnesium, copper, brass, steel and other types of metal chips represents a significant cost savings in labor, disposal, transport and storage. Jorgensen/SFH single and double-shaft shredders efficiently reduce chip size in preparation for centrifuging or briquetting. The volume reduction resulting from implementing a shredder also lessens the frequency of bin removal from a machine, giving a shop's employees additional time to focus on other more productive work. Jorgensen/SFH offer a variety of shredder size options constructed per a customer's material and desired chip output needs.
