The formation of removal material in the form of swarf is inevitable in metalworking processes such as turning, drilling, milling or grinding. The mostly very long, spiral and sharp-edged metal swarf has to be collected outside the work areas in order to be delivered as scrap to recycling companies for recycling or to be processed in the company‘s own facilities.

Due to the large volume of the balls of swarf and the swarf itself, however, intermediate storage requires a lot of space, which can be a problem especially in smaller companies. The recycling specialists at Erdwich Zerkleinerungs-Systeme GmbH have therefore set themselves the task of designing single-shaft and twin-shaft shredders for as many space conditions and metallic challenges as possible.
