Due to the tough high fibrous nature of the vegetation in the Pacific and in atoll nations in particular, commonly used “disk shredders” often need to be stopped regularly (approximately every 30 minutes) for the disk blades to be cleared, and to manage overheating.
Seeking safer and more efficient processing , PacWastePlus and the Republic of Marshal Islands procured a “drum shredder” to process their organic material – approximately 7 tonnes per week. This case study describes the performance of the drum shredder, with main findings include:
Power and durability – the drum shredder can handle tougher materials and is less prone to wear and tear.
Faster processing - the rotary drum design allows for continuous and more efficient shredding, which leads to faster processing speeds.
Safer processing - tough high fibrous material does not get “caught up” in blades and therefore does not require staff to reach inside and between the disks - Attachments
