Industrial Textile & Fiber Waste Shredder Benefits
This machine combines robust construction, intelligent controls, and efficient performance to deliver tangible benefits to your operation.
Enhanced Durability
Tempered 45 steel shafts paired with SKD-11 cutting knives provide superior resilience against wear and heavy loads.
Improved Efficiency
Delivers approximately 300 kg/h throughput, rapidly turning waste into assets and streamlining your recycling operations.
Advanced Operator Safety
Automated overload protection and jam-reversing functions safeguard both the equipment and the operator.
Energy-Efficient Design
The direct-drive connection and high-torque reducer minimise energy loss, making it cost-effective to operate.
Minimal Downtime
Designed for easy access and maintenance, ensuring blade replacements are quick and interruptions are kept to a minimum.
Increased Waste Density
Significantly reduces the volume of waste materials, making them far easier and cheaper to handle, store, and transport.
Textile & Fiber Shredder Features
From the core shaft to the control system, every component is selected for performance and longevity.
- High-Strength Cutting Tools
High-strength alloy steel knives deliver reliable shearing performance across textiles, nonwovens, and mixed fibre waste. - Direct Drive with Shock Absorption
The drive couples deeply to the main shaft and the reducer integrates a shock absorber to cushion buffering forces. - PLC Automation & Protection
Delta PLC control provides overload protection plus automatic reverse/forward functions for smooth, jam-free operation. - Hydraulic Feed Cart Control
A hydraulic ram governs feed speed with adjustable advance rates, keeping material delivery stable and responsive.

Textile & Fiber Shredder Applications
Optimised for textiles and fibres, the FibreShred is suitable for many soft, bulky materials. Share photos of your feedstock so we can confirm the best configuration.
- Textile Waste (fabric offcuts, garments, production scraps)
- Carpet & Rug Waste (soft carpet scraps, mixed fibres)
- Nonwoven & Industrial Fabrics
- PP Woven Bags & Raffia (bulk bag offcuts)
- Ropes, Nets & Twines (depending on thickness)
- General Soft Industrial Waste (light, bulky, compressible materials)
Application Materials
Designed for soft, bulky feedstock. The best setup depends on thickness, density, moisture, and contamination.
Best For
Fabric offcuts, garments, nonwoven rolls/scraps, fibre bales, carpet scraps, and textile production waste.
Also Works With
PP woven bags & raffia, ropes/nets/twines, and other compressible soft industrial waste (subject to thickness and cleanliness).
Not Recommended
Hard metals, glass, stones, or heavily abrasive/mineral-filled waste. Share photos/samples for confirmation.
Output Size
Final particle size is controlled by screen options and knife setup. Tell us your target size and downstream process.
