BWS 400-1250

Guaranteed sized output for solid waste source materials

Are you after consistently sized output for your rigid waste source?

The BSW 400-1250 turns Timber, Hardwood, Pallets and Plastics into useful consistently sized output materials. Consistently sized material output is useful for various applications, including:

Fuel source for RDF/SRF applications
Wood chips
Recycling materials
Reducing volume to reduce transport costs

Process up to 2 tons per hour with small footprint

3670 long x 2630 wide x 2360 high – Bare machine is only
3670 long x 4340 wide x 2360 high – Machine with hopper and conveyor

Larger-than-pallet sized infeed hopper

The BWS 400-1250 single shaft shredder comes fitted with a large 1250w x 1800 long x 900 high in-feed hopper allowing whole pallet-sized loads of materials to be loaded for processing.

You can feed the machine with mobile loaders (eg Skid-steer loaders, Front end loaders) or install it in a plant fed with feed equipment (such as conveyors and apron feeders)

Grabs difficult-to-hold materials

Some materials can be notoriously difficult to effectively process (such as pallets and bottles) in other machines they can bounce and roll around in the cutting chamber.

The BWS 400-1250 has a hydraulic pusher ram designed to ensure that all materials in the hopper get processed. So all you need to do is keep feeding the material and let it get to work.

Sizing screen available in different sizes

The screen can be opened to allow un-shreddable material to be removed.

Shredded material drops onto the discharge conveyor below the screen.

Consistent sizing is suitable for use with air extraction systems.

Smooth reliable power!

The single shaft shredder comes with several features to ensure great operational experience

55KW motor so the Single Shaft can mill through material in the cutting chamber
Belt drive ensures smooth running operation with inbuilt drive protection
Cover with bolt in access doors to protect your operators safe from all drive-train moving parts

The control system features a variety of safety aspects designed to protect operators and prevent drive train damage including:

Category 3 safety rating

Ensuring machine operators are kept away from moving parts with failsafe sensors, panel design and door interlocks.

“No-load Bridge Break” function.

If the current draw on the rotor motor drops below a preset level for approx 20 seconds, the pusher platen will stop and go in the reverse direction. When this happens material in the hopper is rearranged and when the pusher platen returns in the forward direction, shredding resumes.

“Over current” function

If the current draw of the rotor is detected above a certain level then forward movement of the platen is ceased to protect the motor.

“Jam Over-time” function.

If the pusher platen has not reached it’s end position in approximately 60 secs the rotor will stop and the pusher platen will return to the home (or rear) position. Under these conditions it is assumed a large piece of material has jammed and needs removing from the infeed hopper.

Standard configuration:

900mm high Hopper
1 Sizing screen
Support stand
Electrical Control Panel with PLC operator control
Discharge conveyor – 3000mm long x 400mm wide
