Waste paper

Crushing without cutting tools

In the past, cutting tools were the primary technology used for the first stage of waste paper recycling. The problem is that waste paper often has multiple layers, making crushing a costly process in which parts are highly susceptible to wear. This complicates optimal disaggregation for subsequent recycling steps.

In the BHS Rotorshredder (type RS), which uses intense impact forces and shear forces, the input material is completely shredded and separated with relatively low energy input. Foreign objects in the input material do not cause significant wear and can be easily removed later. The final material after shredding is perfectly homogeneous.
