XTR Dual-Torque Heavy Duty Industrial Shredders

The next generation of Brentwood shredders

For more than 45 years, Brentwood AZ series shredders have been used in recycling plants throughout Australia, New Zealand and internationally.  The new Brentwood XTR shredder series builds on that proven platform with a new generation of machines designed for even greater strength, reliability and serviceability in demanding meat processing applications.

Designed and manufactured in Australia, XTR Shredders use Brentwood’s proven slow-speed, high-torque cutting principle to efficiently reduce hard and difficult materials. The positive cutting action produces a controlled, consistent product suitable for efficient downstream processing.

The XTR range represents a significant evolution of the Brentwood Shredder. The machines retain the heavy-duty shaft, cutter and drive principles that have made Brentwood Shredders a standard in the Australian recycling industry, while incorporating an upgraded mechanical platform designed around modern production requirements.

Particular attention has been given to machine strength, protection of critical components, maintainability and ease of servicing, helping reduce downtime and extend operating life in the harsh conditions found in recycling plants.

Available in a range of machine sizes and cutting configurations, the XTR Series can be matched to applications ranging from smaller processing facilities through to high-throughput plants and large recycling operations.
