The TM8516i shredder from Franklin Miller, Livingston, N.J., features low-speed, high-torque counter-rotating cutters that shear and shred a variety of material, from wood to plastics to documents.
According to Franklin Miller, the TM8516i can be used to re-process scrap, reduce waste and pre-condition materials for further processing.
The unit can be used in wet, dry, gravity or pressurized environments. It is equipped with a stand, hopper and control as standard.
The TM8516i is supplied with a variety of cutter configurations for fine or coarse output; a mechanical seal system; low-speed, high-torque operation; and a direct cycloidal gear drive. The shredder is available as a stand-alone unit, in dual-stage designs or as part of complete custom-engineered, size-reduction systems. The units are available in stainless steel construction. A supplied S260 Automatic Control System senses jam conditions and automatically cycles the unit rotation to clear the blockage.
Typical units employ a three horsepower to five horsepower motor with a heavy-duty gear drive.
