Standard Single-Shaft Shredder
A ram-fed single-shaft shredder designed for rigid plastics, pallets, wood waste, and industrial scrap with controlled output size for downstream recycling.
- Hydraulic pusher improves feeding on bulky and irregular materials.
- Single rotor and screen-controlled output support more uniform discharge size.
- Suitable for primary shredding or secondary size reduction before granulation.
Key Components
Hydraulic Pusher
Feeds bulky materials into the rotor with more consistent pressure and less operator input.
Single Rotor
Low-speed, high-torque cutting action helps reduce vibration and improve throughput on tough materials.
Rotor and Counter-Knives
Knife geometry is designed for stable cutting and easier routine maintenance.
Sizing Screen
Controls discharge size so output matches your next process stage more closely.
How It Works
1. Material Feeding
Material enters the hopper and is advanced by the hydraulic ram toward the rotor.
2. Rotor Cutting
Rotor knives cut against fixed counter-knives for stable size reduction of bulky materials.
3. Screen-Controlled Discharge
Material circulates in the chamber until it passes through the selected screen size.
Applications
Rigid Plastics
Suitable for crates, pipes, purges, and bulky rigid plastic scrap.
Wood and Pallets
Handles pallet waste, timber offcuts, and other wood materials that require controlled size reduction.
Industrial Scrap
Used for production rejects, packaging waste, and dense industrial offcuts.
Secondary Shredding
Can work after a pre-shredder when a more uniform screened output is required.
Equipment Overview
Standard Ram-Fed Configuration
RTMS series shredders follow the standard single-shaft layout with a rotor, counter-knives, hydraulic pusher, and sizing screen to produce a more controlled output.
- Hydraulic ram improves feeding on bulky materials
- Rotor and counter-knives support controlled cutting
- Screen selection defines final output size
Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a standard single-shaft shredder?
A standard single-shaft shredder is a ram-fed, single-rotor machine that cuts material against fixed counter-knives. A screen controls the output size for downstream recycling.
How do I choose the screen size?
Screen size depends on your downstream process. Smaller screens produce a more uniform output for granulation, while larger screens increase throughput for pre-shredding.
Can a single-shaft shredder handle bulky rigid plastics and wood?
Yes. The hydraulic pusher presses bulky materials into the rotor, improving bite and throughput on rigid plastics, pallets, wood waste, and industrial scrap.
Is it used as a primary shredder or secondary shredder?
Both. Single-shaft shredders can work as a primary shredder for rigid plastics and wood, or as a secondary shredder after pre-shredding when more uniform output is needed.
