Overview
A 75kW dual shaft shredder built for bulky and demanding primary shredding. The AZ100/2 is a 75kW (2 × 37.5kW) dual shaft shredder built around 130mm hex shafts and planetary reduction gearboxes for high-torque, low-speed size reduction. With 305mm shaft centres, it has an exceptional ability to grab bulky materials—making it a strong option for MSW, RDF, paper, timber, tyres, MDF boards and other tough applications.
It can be configured with 31 / 47 / 70 / 94mm cutters, optional seal protection plates, and DOL or VSD control with auto reverse and overload protection to suit the stream, feed method and site electrical constraints.

FAQ
What is the AZ100/2 best suited for?
The AZ100/2 is a heavy-duty 75kW dual shaft shredder designed for tough, bulky waste streams where strong “grab” and torque matter. It’s commonly used for MSW, RDF, paper, timber, tyres, MDF boards and other demanding primary shredding duties.
Why does the AZ100/2 “grab bulky materials” so well?
Two key reasons:
-
305mm shaft centres (wide spacing) helps bulky items be engaged and drawn into the cutters.
-
Large 130mm hexagonal shafts and a heavy-duty driveline support high torque delivery at low speed.
What materials is the AZ100/2 commonly used for?
Typical applications include MSW, RDF preparation, paper, timber, tyres, MDF boards, and other tough industrial streams. Final suitability depends on the exact stream (size, contamination, density), feed method, and cutter configuration.
What is the AZ100/2 not ideal for?
As a primary shredder, the AZ100/2 is not intended to produce tightly controlled fine particle sizing on its own. If you need a consistent final size, this is typically achieved with secondary shredding/sizing downstream or a screened quadshaft shredder.
What cutter widths are available, and how do I choose?
The AZ100/2 can be supplied with 31 / 47 / 70 / 94mm cutters.
Cutter choice is typically driven by:
-
material type (bulky vs dense, rigid vs mixed)
-
the level of reduction required (volume reduction vs higher reduction)
-
downstream handling (conveying, storage, secondary processing)
If you describe your stream (or provide a sample), we can recommend a configuration that suits your outcome.
What power supply does the AZ100/2 require?
The AZ100/2 is specified for 3-phase 415V / 50Hz supply and uses a 75kW drive (2 × 37.5kW).
Your electrician should confirm site protection, cabling, and installation requirements.
What current draw should I allow for starting and running?
As a guide, the AZ100/2 specification lists:
-
Full load current (FLC): 134A
-
DOL starting current: 1072A
If starting current is a constraint on your site, ask us about suitable control/starting options.
Do I need DOL or VSD control for the AZ100/2?
The AZ100/2 can be supplied with VSD or DOL control with auto reverse and overload protection. The best option depends on your stream, feed method, duty cycle, and site electrical constraints. VSD control is often considered where you want softer starts, more control over speed/torque, or to better manage starting current.
What are the cutting chamber dimensions?
The AZ100/2 cutting chamber is specified as:
-
Length over cutters: 1498mm
-
Cutting chamber width: 813mm
This large chamber is a major reason it suits bulky, awkward materials.
What are the overall dimensions and weight?
Overall dimensions are approximately:
-
3900mm (L) × 1500mm (W) × 765mm (H)
-
Weight: ~8000kg
Always confirm final footprint plus service access clearances during layout planning.
What drivetrain and shaft design does the AZ100/2 use?
Key features include:
-
130mm hexagonal shafts
-
Planetary reduction gearboxes
-
High torque / low speed operation
This combination is designed for robust torque transfer and heavy-duty service.
What does “hot dip galvanised casing” mean for durability?
A hot dip galvanised casing provides a durable protective coating that helps resist corrosion in industrial environments, particularly where moisture or corrosive contamination may be present.
What are seal protection plates and when should I consider them?
Optional seal protection plates help protect seals in harsher environments—for example where fines, contamination, wet material, or abrasive content may be present. If your stream is dusty, abrasive, wet, or contaminated, ask whether seal protection plates are recommended for your duty cycle.
How do I choose the right configuration for my application?
We typically confirm:
-
material type + piece size
-
contamination and moisture
-
required shredding outcome
-
feed method (loader, conveyor, hopper, etc.)
-
downstream handling/secondary processing goals
If you can describe your stream (or provide a sample), we can recommend cutter width, controls, and integration options that suit your duty cycle and site constraints.
Can Brentwood integrate the AZ100/2 into a complete shredding system?
Yes. The AZ100/2 can be supplied as a standalone shredder or integrated with feeders, hoppers, conveyors and discharge arrangements to suit your process and site layout.
