There are two main types of shredding systems to reduce waste materials. 1: Primary shredding Reduces materials down to 50mm up to 300mm. 2: Fines shredding Reduces materials to under 50mm per particle. Primary shredded waste can be further reduced by Fines shredding. Your outcome materials can then be cost effectively disposed of or sold for further use. Recycling shredder machinery is typically ...
