Compact Metal Shredder with 30 × 30 mm Output for Small Recycling Lines

Product Overview

The Q43P-600A Metal Shredder is developed for recycling businesses that need a compact and cost-effective way to convert loose metal waste into uniform, manageable pieces. Instead of focusing only on high production volume, this model provides a balanced combination of controlled output, low power consumption and flexible installation.

Powered by a 7.5 kW motor, the shredder processes approximately 1–2 m³ of material per hour. Its 20 blades rotate at 16 rpm to grip and shear scrap gradually, producing pieces of approximately 30 × 30 mm. The shredded material takes up less space and is easier to sort, transport, melt or feed into other recycling equipment.

With a machine weight of approximately 2,000 kg and compact dimensions of 2160 × 840 × 1600 mm, the Q43P-600A can be integrated into small recycling workshops, metal fabrication plants and customized scrap-processing lines.

Cause

Many small and medium-sized recycling facilities do not need an oversized shredder with high energy consumption. Their main challenge is finding a machine that can process daily metal waste reliably without requiring excessive factory space, electrical capacity or investment.

Loose metal scrap often creates several operational problems:

• Scrap occupies excessive storage space
• Irregular pieces are difficult to sort and transport
• Manual cutting requires considerable labor
• Loose waste cannot be fed evenly into downstream machines
• High-capacity equipment may exceed the actual production requirement
• Powerful motors increase electricity and operating costs

Solution

The Q43P-600A offers a practical pre-processing solution for moderate scrap volumes. Its 610 × 550 mm shredding chamber provides sufficient working space for small metal components and light industrial scrap, while the 510 × 720 mm feeding mouth supports convenient material loading.

The 300 mm diameter blades provide a strong grip on irregular scrap. Their 30 mm thickness balances cutting performance and output control. By operating at 16 rpm, the machine applies steady shredding force without relying on excessive rotational speed.

This configuration provides several commercial advantages:

• Appropriate capacity for small and medium recycling operations
• 7.5 kW motor helps control electricity costs
• Compact design simplifies workshop installation
• Uniform output improves downstream processing
• Low-speed shredding reduces noise, dust and heat
• Smaller scrap pieces increase container utilization
• Modular production lines can be expanded as the business grows

Specifications

Application

The Q43P-600A compact scrap shredder can be used as an independent machine or as the first stage of a complete recycling line. It is suitable for:

• Metal fabrication offcuts
• Light aluminum scrap
• Thin steel pieces
• Metal cans and containers
• Small defective metal products
• Workshop production waste
• Recyclable mixed metal components

After shredding, the material can be transferred to a sorting system, conveyor, metal baler or melting process.

How It Works

Scrap is loaded into the feeding hopper and guided into the shredding chamber. The rotating blades catch the material and pull it into the cutting area. Continuous tearing, squeezing and shearing reduce the scrap into smaller pieces.

The low-speed design helps maintain stable torque when the machine handles irregular materials. The processed pieces are discharged below the chamber and can be collected directly or transported by a discharge conveyor.

How To Choose

The Q43P-600A is a suitable choice when the required capacity is approximately 1–2 m³/h and the buyer prioritizes compact installation and economical operation.

Before ordering, consider:

• Material type and hardness
• Maximum scrap thickness
• Largest feeding dimensions
• Daily operating hours
• Required output size
• Available workshop space
• Local electrical supply
• Downstream sorting or recycling process

If the material is thick, highly hardened or continuously supplied in large volumes, a higher-power model may provide better efficiency and longer service life.

FAQ

Is this shredder suitable for a small recycling business?

Yes. Its compact structure, moderate capacity and 7.5 kW motor make it suitable for small and medium-sized recycling operations.

How does shredding reduce operating costs?

Shredding reduces scrap volume, improves storage utilization and allows more material to be loaded into each transport container. It can also reduce manual cutting requirements.

Can it be connected to a conveyor?

Yes. Feeding and discharge conveyors can be supplied to create a more continuous and efficient recycling line.

What determines the actual processing capacity?

Capacity depends on the material’s thickness, hardness, density, shape and feeding frequency. The stated 1–2 m³/h is a reference capacity.

How can I confirm whether my material is suitable?

Send us photos, videos, dimensions and thickness information for your scrap. Our engineers will evaluate the material and recommend the appropriate shredder configuration.
