Shredder upgrades accommodate higher throughput

Pipe shredder This shredder upgrade provides enough space to grind pipes up to 48 inches wide and 20 feet long. It can handle a variety of materials, including pressure pipe, corrugated pipe, PP and PVC.

What's new? Faster and smoother ram cycle times, meaning increased capacity for thin-walled, corrugated pipes while maintaining high capacity on pressure pipe recycling. Compared to the previous model, this version can handle almost twice as much material.

Benefits Capacity of more than 6,000 pounds per hour, with minimal increase in power consumption. Also, the shredder's design, described as "coffin-style," can accommodate longer pipes with various diameters, as well as poorly formed or heavily damaged pipes.
