Coffin shredder Republic Machine's upgraded long-compartment shredder is designed for oversized materials, including sheet and pipe. It features an Allen-Bradley controller and large color touchscreen.
What's new? Upgrades to the ram, which is hydraulically driven and runs the length of the compartment. The rollers that guide the ram are no longer inside the compartment but have been moved outside along a track. Also, the company has expanded the series' offerings. Square compartment sizes of 32 inches (shown above, with a 25-foot-long compartment), 42 inches and 54 inches now are available, along with the original shredder in the series, a 25-inch model. The company has even made a custom shredder with dimensions of 62 inches by 32 inches.Benefits With the ram chain drive's redesign, it is now more dependable and easier to maintain and clean. The hydraulic drive moves the ram at a constant velocity with closed-loop variable pressure control, allowing both long and short objects to feed into the rotor more consistently. Through this process, the output is more consistent, with less heat generated in the cutting process.
