How do you customize a shredder for different shred sizes and throughput?

There are a variety of ways a customer can customize both a dual-shaft and a single-shaft shredder to create fractions ranging from 2 inches to 24 inches. The dual-shaft shredders accomplish this task with the use of “breaker bars.”

These bars are designed in a variety of styles, from “flat bar,” which is used to create the largest fraction sizes, to “basket bar,” which is designed to create the smallest fraction sizes and pretty much everything in between. Single-shaft shredders use “sizing screens” to fractionate materials. These screens are installed around and under the shaft. Sizing screens only allow materials small enough to pass through them to eject from the working chamber which creates a very homogenous material fraction.
