Description

This Scrap Metal Shredder (Dual Shaft) is designed for efficient first-stage shredding of light-to-medium metal scrap. The low-speed, high-torque dual-shaft system pulls material into the chamber and tears it into smaller pieces, helping you:

  • reduce scrap volume for easier handling and transportation
  • prepare scrap for magnetic separation / eddy current separation
  • improve feeding consistency for downstream recycling equipment

HX-DS1000 is our internal model number for this 1000 mm chamber class shredder.

How to Choose the Right 3–10 TPH Scrap Metal Shredder

Choosing the right 3–10 TPH scrap metal shredder depends on your material type, scrap size, production target, and recycling process. The HX-DS1000 dual shaft shredder is designed for medium-capacity metal recycling operations and can be customized to match different scrap materials and production requirements.

1. Choose Based on Your Scrap Material

The 3–10 TPH dual shaft scrap metal shredder is suitable for processing a wide range of light-to-medium metal scrap materials.
Common applications include:
  • Steel sheet offcuts
  • Stamping scrap
  • Aluminum profiles
  • Aluminum scrap
  • Copper scrap
  • Brass scrap
  • Mixed metal scrap
  • Scrap steel pipes
  • Thin steel plates
  • Workshop metal waste
For harder or thicker materials, higher power configurations such as 2×75kW or 2×90kW are recommended.

2. Choose Based on Scrap Thickness

Scrap thickness directly affects machine performance and throughput.
Scrap Type Recommended Configuration
Thin sheet metal 2×55kW
Mixed metal scrap 2×75kW
Thick steel scrap 2×90kW
Heavy industrial scrap 2×90kW
The thicker the material, the more torque is required to maintain stable shredding performance.

3. Choose Based on Required Capacity

The HX-DS1000 is designed for production capacities ranging from 3 to 10 tons per hour.
Typical recommendations:
Target Output Suitable User
3–5 TPH Small recycling yards
5–8 TPH Local scrap processing facilities
8–10 TPH Commercial metal recycling plants
Actual throughput depends on material density, feeding conditions, and desired output size.

4. Choose Based on Available Power Supply

Before selecting a shredder configuration, confirm the power available at your facility.
Available options typically include:
  • 380V 50Hz
  • 400V 50Hz
  • 415V 50Hz
  • 440V 60Hz
  • Diesel Engine
For recycling plants aiming to operate continuously, higher-power motor configurations can provide better productivity and more stable performance.

5. Choose Based on Your Recycling Line Layout

The HX-DS1000 is often used as the first-stage shredding machine in a metal recycling line.

Typical system configuration:

Scrap Metal
HX-DS1000 Shredder
Conveyor
Metal Crusher
Magnetic Separator
Eddy Current Separator
Recovered Metals
If your material will be further processed by a metal crusher or separation system, the shredder configuration should be selected according to the requirements of downstream equipment.

Need Help Choosing?

To recommend the most suitable HX-DS1000 scrap metal shredder configuration, please provide:
  • Scrap material type
  • Material thickness
  • Target capacity (3–10 TPH)
  • Desired output size
  • Available power supply
Our engineers can recommend the appropriate motor power, blade material, blade thickness and overall machine configuration for your recycling project.

Why Choose Our Dual Shaft Scrap Metal Shredder

Below are practical manufacturing advantages that help reduce operating cost and improve reliability.

1) In-house blade manufacturing (cost advantage + stable quality)

We operate our own blade processing facility, enabling better control of machining accuracy and production schedule—supporting consistent quality and competitive pricing.

2) Reinforced chamber frame (mortise-and-tenon structure)

The shredding chamber frame uses a mortise-and-tenon style structural design for higher rigidity and durability under heavy load. (Reinforcement performance depends on configuration and working conditions.)

3) Verified blade material options (no “false grade” steel)

Knife material options include real M6V, H13, and Hardox 500, selected based on your scrap mix and wear requirements to extend service life.

4) Torque-protection connection reduces drivetrain damage

unique nylon pin connection type helps protect the reducer and motors from sudden excessive torque, reducing unexpected failures and saving maintenance cost.

5) Efficient reducer choices (including planetary reducers on many builds)

For many configurations we adopt planetary gear reducers, offering better efficiency and lower energy loss compared with traditional hard-tooth-surface reducers, especially in long-duty applications.


How a Dual Shaft Scrap Metal Shredder Works

Two counter-rotating shafts equipped with knives grab and pull scrap into the chamber. The material is then torn and shreded into smaller pieces. Shredded output can be sent to:

  • Conveyor + metal crusher – for further processing to maximize profit
  • conveyor + stockpile
  • magnetic separator (ferrous recovery)
  • eddy current separator (non-ferrous recovery)
  • secondary shredding / granulation (if smaller size is required)

Motor Power Selection (Quick Guide)

  • 2×55 kW: lighter scrap, stable feeding, lower duty cycle
  • 2×75 kW: mixed scrap, balanced for continuous work
  • 2×90 kW: tougher scrap, thicker pieces, aiming for higher throughput within 3–10 TPH

Not sure which one to choose? Tell us your scrap type + thickness, and we’ll recommend the best configuration.

FAQ

Q1: What affects the 3–10 TPH capacity?
Scrap material type, thickness, feeding continuity, blade wear/clearance, and target discharge size.

Q2: Can it shred both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap?
Yes. It is used for steel scrap and also aluminum/copper/brass scrap. Blade material selection should match your scrap to optimize wear life.

Q3: What output size will I get?
Output size depends on blade design and operating settings. Share your downstream needs (baling, separation, secondary processing) and we’ll match the setup.

Q4: Can you provide a complete recycling line?
Yes. We can recommend conveyors, metal crusher, magnetic separation, and eddy current separation solutions based on your capacity target and site layout.
