User-friendly 22 kW Metal Shredder with Wide Feeding Hopper for High-Volume Scrap Processing

User-friendly 22 kW Metal Shredder with Wide Feeding Hopper for High-Volume Scrap Processing

Product Overview

The Q43P-1000A Metal Shredder is a wider and more powerful shredding solution developed for recycling facilities that require faster feeding and higher daily throughput. Its 1010 mm-wide shredding chamber allows operators to process broader materials with less preliminary cutting, making it suitable for production scrap, light metal components and pre-sorted recyclable waste.

The cutting system contains 33 blades, each measuring 300 mm in diameter and 30 mm in thickness. Driven by two 11 kW motors, the blades rotate at 16 rpm and reduce suitable scrap into pieces of approximately 30 × 40 mm.

With a reference capacity of 2–3 m³/h, the Q43P-1000A offers a practical upgrade for businesses that have outgrown smaller shredders but do not require a large centralized recycling plant. The machine is manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001 quality management requirements to support consistent production and inspection.

Cause

As recycling volume increases, a narrow feeding opening can become a production bottleneck. Operators may need to cut broad scrap manually, feed materials one piece at a time or stop frequently to rearrange irregular waste.

These limitations increase labor requirements and prevent the shredding system from reaching its intended output. Common problems include:

• Wide scrap cannot enter a small hopper easily
• Manual pre-cutting slows down production
• Uneven loading interrupts material flow
• Single-motor machines may lack sufficient driving power
• Increasing scrap volume exceeds the capacity of compact equipment
• Downstream equipment receives inconsistent quantities of material

Solution

The Q43P-1000A combines a 1010 × 720 mm hopper opening with a 1010 × 550 mm shredding chamber. This wide working area accommodates suitable broad and irregular materials while allowing more efficient loading.

Its two 11 kW motors provide a total installed power of 22 kW. The dual-motor configuration delivers balanced driving force to the shredding system, while the 16 rpm speed enables the blades to grip and shear material progressively.

Major product advantages include:

• Wide 1010 mm feeding and shredding area
• 33-blade cutting configuration
• Dual 11 kW motor drive
• Reference capacity of 2–3 m³/h
• Approximately 30 × 40 mm output
• Reduced need for preliminary manual cutting
• Suitable for conveyor-assisted feeding
• Configurable for different electrical standards

Specifications

Application

The Q43P-1000A industrial scrap shredder can be used in metal recycling centers, manufacturing facilities, material recovery stations and fabrication workshops.

Typical applications include:

• Aluminum production offcuts
• Light sheet steel scrap
• Metal cans and packaging
• Thin-wall metal components
• Stamping and punching leftovers
• Rejected manufacturing parts
• Suitable pre-sorted mixed metal scrap

The material’s hardness, wall thickness and maximum dimensions must be evaluated before processing. Heavy solid steel and hardened alloys may require a larger or specially configured shredder.

How It Works

Scrap enters through the wide feeding hopper and falls into the 1010 × 550 mm shredding chamber. The low-speed blades grip the material and draw it into the cutting zone.

Driven by two motors, the cutting system repeatedly tears and shears the scrap until it is reduced to approximately 30 × 40 mm pieces. The processed material is discharged underneath the machine and can be collected directly or transported to sorting, separation or baling equipment.

The wide chamber supports more consistent material distribution, especially when the machine is connected to a controlled feeding conveyor.

How To Choose

The Q43P-1000A is recommended when the required capacity is approximately 2–3 m³/h and the incoming scrap requires a wider feeding area.

Before confirming the model, buyers should consider:

• Material composition and hardness
• Maximum width, length and thickness
• Loose or bulk material density
• Required hourly and daily throughput
• Target discharge dimensions
• Manual or conveyor feeding
• Downstream processing equipment
• Local voltage, frequency and phase

For smaller production volumes, a compact model may offer lower investment and energy consumption. For continuous heavy-duty feeding, a higher-capacity shredder should be evaluated.

FAQ

What is the advantage of the 1010 mm-wide chamber?

It accepts wider materials and improves loading efficiency, reducing the amount of preliminary cutting required for suitable scrap.

Why does the machine use two 11 kW motors?

The dual-motor configuration provides the driving power required for the wide 33-blade cutting system and supports stable material shredding.

Is the output always 30 × 40 mm?

The stated size is a reference value. Actual output can vary according to material thickness, shape, hardness and cutting conditions.

Can the shredder be connected to a conveyor?

Yes. Feeding and discharge conveyors can be configured to improve material flow and reduce manual handling.

How can I confirm whether it can process my scrap?

Provide clear material photos or videos, composition, maximum dimensions, thickness and required capacity. Our engineers will evaluate the application before recommending the final configuration.
