What is the final size of the shredded waste?
Through the tearing and shearing of the cutter shaft, all types of medical waste can be uniformly shredded to approximately 50mm, which is ideal for subsequent sterilization and treatment.
How is the "winding problem" of soft materials solved?
The machine is equipped with a special anti-winding device and a unique double-row spiral moving knife structure, designed specifically to shred tough materials like straps without blade entanglement.

Yes, the system can be equipped with a matching lifting device to realize fully automatic feeding, significantly reducing manual labor and improving safety.
How does the intelligent protection system work?
The built-in PLC control includes overload protection. It automatically reverses the shaft twice if it encounters hard objects; if shredding still fails, it triggers an alarm to prevent mechanical damage.
What is the processing capacity of these machines?
Depending on the model, the handling capacity ranges from 2-3 tons per hour for smaller models up to 15 tons per hour for large-scale industrial units.
