DGD dual-shaft shredder Hosokawa Polymer Systems' new series of shredders offers low-speed, high-torque, high-capacity size reduction. The units can shred a wide range of materials and products, including plastics and electronics. The models include the DGD1000, 1500 and 2000. The largest, the DGD2000, has twin 32-inch-diameter cutter discs and a 60-inch-by-78-inch chamber. The motor sizes are designed according to the user's particular application and have up to 200 horsepower.
What's new? The product, which Hosokawa introduced at the Plastics Recycling Conference in February in New Orleans.
Benefits Easy maintenance, less downtime and longer machine life. In addition to the large-diameter cutting discs—which allow for the high-throughput processing of large parts and bales— the machine's other components, including cutter tips, stator plates and sidewall wear plates, are easily replaced.
