Slow-speed Two-shaft shredding

Our shredding shafts form the basis for all areas of pre-shredding applications. They are made of highly wear-resistant steel with excellent surface hardening and are as versatile as the requirements of the industry demand. In the event of wear, the ARJES quick-change system ensures an easy replacement of the pair of shafts.
The different arrangement of the shaft discs and blades on the shaft body is decisive for the respective areas of application. Each shredding shaft consists of the following three main components:

Shaft body

The base body of each shaft is made of solid material in the COMPAKTOR and EKOMAXX product classes, and of tubular material in the TITAN product class.

Shaft discs

The shape and arrangement of the discs play a key role in determining which material can be shredded.

Shaft blades

Worn blades can be refurbished easily and cost-effectively in the event of wear.
