Primary shredder EKZ series

double-shaftfor cardboardrugged

Economical solutions for the shredding and preparation of cardboard. The reduction of transport costs, the reduction of material for feeding to existing press containers or balers as well as the shredding of material for conveyor belt feeding are good reasons for the use of cardboard shredders. With the EKZ cardboard shredder and FKZ fine cardboard shredder, we have two robust and absolutely reliable machines in several sizes in our product portfolio. Whether it is the shredding of packaging or the preparation of cardboard waste for suction into existing conveying systems, we always offer you a perfect solution tailored to your needs. Ripper segments reduce size to less than one tenth The EKZ cardboard shredder consists of two shafts with independent drives, a slow-running infeed shaft and a faster ripper shaft, which shreds the cardboard boxes into the desired size. Segments of wear-resistant special steel are used for this purpose, which are arranged on the shredder rotor in such a way that they point alternately obliquely outward and inward. In this way, the rotation of the shaft produces a wobbling motion that ensures the desired shredding effect. The rotors, which are very large at 520 mm in diameter, also process large-format cardboard without any problems. In addition, the infeed and shredder rotors are equipped with a special scraper system that prevents the shaft from wrapping and ensures a stable material feed.
