Industrial Waste Wood Shredder | SY Series High-Torque Shear Shredder for Biomass
It widely processes wood, pallets, branches, yard waste, plastic drums, paint buckets, appliance shells (plastic/metal), and other bulky waste.
1. Product Overview & Industry Value
Wood recycling plays a vital role in the circular economy. Waste wood materials—such as pallets, construction offcuts, branches, and wooden packaging—can be converted into valuable resources including biomass fuel, panel board feedstock, and organic mulch after proper shredding. These end products are widely used in biomass thermal power plants and pellet fuel processing centers.
The SY Series Shear-Type Shredder is engineered for high-capacity, continuous-duty operations, making it the ideal core equipment for large-scale waste wood processing facilities.
2. Technical Features & Structural Advantages
2.1 Working Principle
The SY Series operates on the shear-cutting principle. Through the combined actions of cutting, tearing, and pressing generated by two counter-rotating knife shafts, materials are efficiently reduced to target sizes. The high-torque, low-speed design ensures superior performance when processing hard, tough, or contaminated materials, while maintaining stable operation with low noise levels.
2.2 Core Structure & Design Highlights
-
Modular Design: Standardized, interchangeable components simplify maintenance and reduce spare parts inventory costs.
-
High-Strength Blade System:
-
Main Blades: Forged from special alloy steel using a proprietary process, offering exceptional wear resistance and impact strength.
-
Auxiliary Blades: Manufactured through die-forging for precise cutting edges and extended service life.
-
-
Drive & Screening System:
-
The drive unit employs a central gear transmission allowing flexible speed ratio adjustments to accommodate different material characteristics.
-
The screen/mesh is designed for quick and easy disassembly—no complex tools required—facilitating rapid cleaning or size-changeover.
-
-
Compact Design: Sturdy construction with an elegant, space-saving footprint.
2.3 Flexible Configurations for Diverse Materials
-
Interchangeable Rotor Options: Rotor configurations can be tailored based on material properties—solid wood, hollow plastic drums, or thin metal shells—to maximize shredding efficiency.
-
Hydraulic Pusher Device (Optional): When processing hollow or bulky items (e.g., plastic drums, paint buckets), an optional hydraulic pusher ensures forced feeding, significantly boosting throughput.
-
Blade Thickness Grading: Blade thickness directly determines output particle size. We offer six standard thicknesses: 15mm, 20mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm. Thinner blades produce finer output—choose according to your downstream process requirements.
2.4 Multi-Purpose Versatility
Beyond waste wood, the SY Series effectively processes:
-
Plastics (pallets, drums, pipes, films)
-
Thin metal shells (appliance housings, beverage cans)
-
Yard waste (branches, stumps, roots)
-
General industrial solid waste (waste paper bales, textiles)

4. Auxiliary Equipment & Complete Production Line
To support end-to-end processing—from primary size reduction to fine refinement—we offer the following complementary equipment:
| Equipment | Function | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Chipper | Chips logs and large-diameter branches into uniform wood chips | Pre-processing for biomass pellet plants |
| Wood Grinder | Fine-grinds coarse materials to powder-level fineness | Combustion injection systems, panel board manufacturing |
| Hydraulic Pusher | Forces loose or hollow materials into the shredding chamber | Processing plastic drums, paint buckets, foam packaging |
Recommended Process Flow:
