The Challenges

Auto shredder residue is a common problem through the world. The material needs to be a small particle size in order to burn (typically 50mm minus). The challenge is reducing the particle size in a cost effective manner. The material is very abrasive and has metal contamination which is difficult to remove because it can be encapsulated in other materials. Processing this combination of material requires cutters that are balanced between high impact and high abrasion resistance.

The Solution

SSI's Quad with hardfaced cutters.
- Small uniform particle size for efficient burn
- Design allows contamination
- Proprietary hardfaced cutters allow high wear-resistance AND impact-resistance
