Why Invest in the FibreShred 800?

This machine combines robust construction, intelligent controls, and efficient performance to deliver tangible benefits to your operation.

Enhanced Durability

A solid, weld-free main shaft and premium D2 steel blades provide superior resilience against wear and heavy loads.

Improved Efficiency

Processes 200–300 kg/h, 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.

Engineered for Unmatched Reliability

From the core shaft to the control system, every component is selected for performance and longevity.

  • Solid Main Shaft Construction
    CNC-machined from a single block of steel, this weld-free shaft offers maximum durability and structural integrity.
  • High-Torque Reducer
    An H-series reducer operates at a lower speed but with higher torque, improving cutting power and stability.
  • Heat-Treated D2 Steel Blades
    High-strength alloy steel blades are exceptionally effective at cutting through tough textiles, plastics, and light metals.
  • Direct Drive with Dampening
    Directly connected to minimise power loss, with built-in shock absorbers to protect the machine from buffer forces.
  • PLC Smart Control System
    Features automatic overload protection and forward/reverse functions to prevent jams and ensure continuous operation.
  • Efficient Hydraulic Feeding
    A hydraulic-powered ram ensures a smooth, steady, and consistent feed pressure for precise and efficient shredding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions to help you evaluate the right solution.

What materials can the FibreShred 800 process?
Designed for textiles and fibres, it also handles films, soft plastics, paper/cardboard and selected light aluminium profiles. For highly abrasive materials, ask us about blade options.
What is the typical throughput?
For textiles, typical output is 200–300 kg/h depending on feed quality, moisture, and screen size. We can validate with your sample material.
How do we minimise jams and downtime?
The PLC monitors load and triggers auto reverse to clear blockages. The hydraulic ram maintains steady feed pressure to keep cutting consistent.
What about installation and training?
We provide on-site or remote commissioning support and operator training. A standard install completes within 1–2 days after site readiness.
