Single Shaft Shredders

Single Shaft Shredders are a special type of shredder that can destroy materials beyond the confines of paper. Also known as plastic shredders, these machines can process a variety of substances including but not limited to paper, plastics, wire, film, fibers, medical waste and even solid purgings, wood pallets, and thermoplastic rubber. The power of the single shaft shredders lies in their high torque, low cutting speed action which allows the breakdown of thick materials without straining or breaking the cutting knives or rotor. The design of a single shaft shredder is unique in that it has an exceptionally large throat width so it can take oversized materials with ease. A Whitaker Brothers single shaft shredder is the perfect waste shredder because it can handle many sizes and types of industrial waste, yet should not be considered an equivalent to a Whitaker Brothers granulator/disintegrator because it does not meet NSA standards for high security data.
