The single-shaft shredder is the most versatile and widely used shredder for shredding wood, sawmill waste, pallets, briquettes as well as plastic, paper, film and other materials. The material collected can be fed directly without additional feeding systems. The rotor of the single-shaft shredder turns particularly slowly and this, combined with the vertical material feed, makes it especially quiet and dust-free. The hydraulically driven ram feeds the material to the rotor.
