01 / Equipment overview
Primary coarse size reduction for difficult feedstock
A standalone shredder or the first processing stage of a complete recycling system.
The BREM Double-Shaft Shredder uses two counter-rotating cutter shafts to grip, shear and tear bulky or irregular material into a manageable coarse fraction. It is suited to containers, appliances, pipes, pallets, tires, selected scrap metal, RDF and other compatible waste streams. The welded steel body, reinforced structure and low-speed high-torque drive are designed for stable industrial operation. Cutter material and geometry should be selected according to feed composition, size, abrasiveness and the required downstream result.
Model size alone does not determine suitability. Feed dimensions, material composition, steel thickness, contamination, required capacity, target output and downstream process interfaces should be evaluated together.
02 / Operating Principle
How the Double-Shaft Shredder Works
Material is pulled into the cutting chamber by two counter-rotating shafts. Intermeshing cutters apply low-speed, high-torque shearing force and reduce bulky feedstock into a controlled coarse fraction for downstream processing.
02
Gripping
Teeth on the two counter-rotating shafts catch the material and draw it into the active shredding zone.
03
Shearing & Tearing
Intermeshing cutter discs apply low-speed, high-torque force to shear, tear and open the feed into a coarse fraction.
04
Discharge
Reduced material exits the chamber for collection, conveying, secondary crushing, screening or separation.
Low-Speed Operation
High-Torque Shearing
Continuous Discharge

Actual throughput and output depend on material type, bulk density, feed size, cutter configuration, moisture, contamination and operating conditions. Final model selection should be confirmed against representative feed information.

09 / Equipment FAQ
Common selection questions
How is the correct double-shaft shredder model selected?
Selection should consider material type and composition, maximum feed dimensions, metal thickness, bulk density, required throughput, target coarse output and downstream process interfaces. A larger model number alone does not guarantee suitability.
Can the cutter configuration be adapted for different materials?
Yes. Cutter material, tooth geometry, disc arrangement and related configuration can be selected around the feedstock. The source material specifically states that different cutter materials can be used for different materials to support stable production.
What types of material can the machine process?
The supplied material list includes hollow containers, appliance housings, pipes, pallets, tires, selected scrap metal, RDF-related waste, garden or biomass waste, rubber offcuts and paper-mill rope. Final suitability must be confirmed against size, composition and contamination.
Can the shredder be integrated with a feeding conveyor?
Yes. The supplied product information states that a feeding conveyor can be configured. Conveyor sizing and control should be matched to the required feed rate, material dimensions and downstream process.
What routine maintenance should be considered?
Routine checks should cover cutter wear, fasteners, bearings, shaft supports, gearbox condition, lubrication, chamber cleanliness and abnormal vibration or noise. Maintenance intervals should follow the final machine configuration and operating duty.
Is the 30–100 mm output size guaranteed for every material?
No. The 30–100 mm figure is an indicative model-range value from the existing product data. Actual output depends on feedstock, cutter geometry, material behavior and operating conditions, so the target size should be confirmed during equipment selection.
