Shredders use low speed, high torque hook shear blades
manufactured of high alloy heat treated material mounted
on hexagonal shafts. The number of hooks, reach of
hooks, and blade thickness are determined by the
material being reduced. Counter rotating shafts turn at
slightly different speeds increasing the efficiency of
the cutting action. Overloads caused by foreign material
stop the forward motion of the motor, reverse to clear
the foreign matter, and then forward motion is resumed.
Shock loads are negated by a patented ''shock absorber''
drive train. Mark-Costello offers shredders with cutting
chambers ranging in size from 17" x 14" to 60" x 28"
with motors from 10 HP to 450 HP.
This combination of reduction equipment is composed of a
low speed, mid-size shredder, and a high speed knife
hog. The shredder reduces rubber scrap into uniform
strips and the hog reduces it to a crumb or powder.
Sometimes
the amount and characteristics of
materials require a unique system.
Systems can be composed of a mid-size
shredder, starting the reduction process
by reducing the material into uniform
strips. The conveyor carries the
material to the knife hog, reducing the
material to crumb or powder with the
appropriate screen size.
