What's the difference of single shaft shredder and double shaft one?

Both single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder are commonly used in waste recycling field, but they are different in a few aspects.

1.Structure

Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with only one shaft with rotary blades, a hydraulic-driven pusher plate/arm, and a screen underneath the rotating shaft.But Double Shaft Shredder is built with two shafts of blades, there is no hydraulic-driven pusher or screen on this machine.

2.Applications

The single shaft shredder is mainly used for big and thick and hard waste , such as big plastic pipe ,pipe cover , plastic lump , wood block , bundling paper etc.The blade of double shaft shredder is In claw type . The cutting principle is like shear. It is suitable for thin waste in big size , like plastic film, jumbo bag , sheet, tray ,pallet , drum, crates ,bottle etc.

3.Shreddering System

With a single-shaft shredder, once the material is fed into the hopper, the hydraulic-driven plate/arm pushes the material towards the cutting shaft to ensure the material is efficiently shredded by the rotary cutting blades. The material will be repeatedly shredded until the shreds are small enough to pass throughput the screen mesh as output.

With a double-shaft shredder, once the material is fed into the machine, the two shafts of cutting blades hook the material and then bite it until it’s fully swallowed into the discharging chamber. The shreds are directly discharged after cutting without passing through any screen, so the size of shreds is quite random.
