Rotorshredder (RS)
The do-it-all shredder
Our patented BHS Rotorshredder (type RS) crushes, untangles and disaggregates materials. The crushing tools place intense stress on the feed material through a combination of impact, punching and shear forces. Highly efficient, selective crushing is the result:
- Composite materials are disaggregated
- Hard and brittle materials undergo intense size reduction
- Metals are stripped
- Tangled materials are separated and singled out
- Particle sizes are reduced in a targeted manner
The crushing tools consist of several rugged impellers that are flexibly attached to a high-speed vertical shaft. They do not require any adjustment or sharpening. As a result, wear-related costs are low. The machine operates in continuous mode and is designed to withstand intensive loads. After reaching the desired size, the material leaves the machine immediately. This eliminates unnecessary consumption of energy. The Rotorshredder can optionally be equipped with a flywheel for energy storage. Rotorshredders are primarily used in the recycling industry for processing all kinds of materials that contain metals, but they can also selectively crush waste paper, wood, commercial waste and other types of waste.
Example of the crushing process with a washing machine in the RS Rotorshredder
- 1. RS Rotorshredder at rest
- 2. During operation, the hammers are positioned horizontally and stabilized by centrifugal force.
- 3. The feed is crushed intensively when it reaches the impact chamber.
- 4. In just a few seconds the selectively processed material leaves the chamber through the slotted grid.
The crushing ratio and the intensity of stress on the material can be adjusted. The shredder comes in three different sizes that can be configured according to your needs. In this way, we can meet nearly any requirement with regard to throughput capacity, crushing ratio, disaggregation results and maximum feed size. The Rotorshredder can optionally be configured with a flywheel in order to avoid mechanical and electrical peak loads.
At our BHS technical center in Sonthofen, we can perform industrial tests on customer-specific materials using the RS Rotorshredder. In this way, we can find solutions to even the most challenging problems.
