A mobile shredder is a machine capable of cutting and reducing a large quantity of materials to be disposed of thanks to a motorization system and special blades that complete the shredding process.
The peculiarity of a shredder of this type does not lie in the way it shreds the material - which takes place exactly as in the case of a fixed shredder - but in the particular movement system that allows the machine to move easily to reach the material to be loaded and shredded. The movement is ensured by the presence of:
- Tracks, which allow the machine to move autonomously
- Skidding systems, which allow the shredder to be towed or moved on wheels
Both types of movement make it possible for the shredder to approach the waste to be treated easily, and allow for many advantages:
- Increased efficiency of the plant as a whole: equipping a mobile shredder allows you to significantly reduce the time spent on waste processing within the plant, as the machine can be easily loaded and quickly positioned. In addition, a tool of this type simplifies the operator's loading activity while ensuring the highest safety standards.
- Reducing downtime: having all types of waste converge on a single point in the plant - as in the case of a fixed shredder - is a working method that is quite time-consuming, as it inevitably produces downtime, i.e. intervals during which the shredder is stationary while the waste to be processed is being brought and loaded into it. Being able to move the shredder around the plant allows you to optimize your work schedule and reduce downtime, minimizing machine downtime.
- Expanding the type of products that can be shredded: a mobile shredder can be used to process a wide range of waste and materials (including paper, wood, cardboard...), and even to shred bulky waste whose movement is particularly difficult and complex. Choosing a machine of this type allows you to shred waste of any type quickly and easily, maximizing plant performance and the offer to your customers.
- Increased reliability: a mobile shredder is easy to use and maintain, can remain perfectly efficient for long periods without requiring special maintenance, and can be equipped with emergency systems that stop the machine in case of accidental insertion of objects that cannot be shredded. In this way, the risk of seriously damaging the blades is minimized, and the machine is put in a position to operate at its best for a long time.
