Komptech has introduced its Terminator single-shaft shredder. The shredder can be designed as both a mobile and stationary version to handle a wide range of waste material.
Applications with drum/opposing comb system variants range from coarse pre-crushing to defined shredding. The continuous cutting gap adjustment allows tailoring of the produced particle size to subsequent treatment stage. A hydraulic drive with load-dependent speed control ensures maximum motor performance on mobile machines. An electro-mechanical drive for highest efficiency is offered on stationary variants as an additional option.
The Terminator is able to shred the most difficult materials; has four shredding units for perfect configuring for the job required; and is designed with a sturdy, contrary-insensitive pre-shredder.
The Terminator has variable particle size by adjusting cutting gap, a continuously variable speed regulation, optimum utilization of power with hydraulic drive, and a broad range of mechanization and configuration options
Due to these attributes nearly every material can be shredded:
• Bulky refuse, waste wood, building material waste
• Household waste, residual waste
• Commercial waste
• Materials such as tires, paper rolls, residual textiles, fridges etc.
The "UF" shredding unit makes the Terminator a perfect waste shredder. When this unit is integrated into a Terminator, the result is a machine that is virtually unbeatable in terms of cost-effectiveness. "UF" stands for "Universal- Fine", and the name is not accidental. With it, virtually all municipal and commercial waste can be shredded, from household waste to special tires with thick wire cable reinforcement.
This is possible with the combination of drum form and hydraulic drive. On encountering resistance, the hydraulic unit responds with an increase in torque and, at the same time, the entire tooth force is concentrated only on the engaging tooth thanks to the distribution of the teeth. Hardly anything stand up to this. But if it does, the hydraulic overload protection mechanism prevents damage to the tools and the drive.
Attachment with central bolts ensures the solid teeth do not become loose. The drum tooth can be used three times, plating prolongs service life, and easily exchangeable wear rings protect the body of the drum – all factors which minimize costs due to wear. The Terminator, type 5000, has ample power – the rating of 328 kW on the mobile machine (200 kW on the electric variant) is sufficient for a throughput of up to 60 metric tons per hour.
Benefits of the "Terminator UF" include the following:
• Wide range of applications in the waste sector
• High shredding force
• Variable degree of shredding by adjusting the cutting gap
• Contrary-resistant shredding unit
• High cost-effectiveness
• Cost-optimized overall package
