Some Suggestions on How to Choose a Suitable Shredder for Processing Solid Waste
A good choice of
solid waste shredder can help users solve problems. But how to choose a suitable
one from a various types of shredders in the market is a skill. Now here we
would like to give your some ideas from 2 aspects.
What size of solid
waste shredder we should choose?
Firstly, size
choice is based on the material characteristics and the requirement of discharge
size.
Secondly, we suggest
choosing a larger power shredder than the one that current crushing work
needed. Because as the operation time increases, the cutter will become blunt,
then more energy consumption is needed to shred the material. If the shredder
has sufficient surplus power, the shredder can continue operation for a longer
period of time without maintenance before tool replacement.
Besides, cutting chamber should be big enough, so the material should be grabbed as much as possible.
Finally, in addition
to the model and power, it is also necessary to consider factors such as the
size of the knife hook and distance between shafts, the feeding chamber, and the material
characteristics.
What kind of feeding method we should choose?
Batch feeding refers
to grabbing a large amount of material into the shredder hopper. Batch feeding
is generally used to deal with household garbage, hazardous waste, or bale
materials. However, the size of cutting chamber should be considered. If the size is
not appropriate, it will cause material blockage or affect crushing capacity.
Metered feeding
refers to feeding materials into the hopper at a stable control through a
conveyor. It is common to deal with bulky waste, light residue from paper mills
or fruits and vegetables, and kitchen waste.
If the material can
be metered and fed, the crusher can monitor its feed volume and adjust the
speed of the conveyed material. Then
feeding will be more effective, with fewer reversals or shutdowns.
