MPS Series Pipe Shredder

Large pipes or bundles of pipes of smaller diameter are loaded into the horizontal feeding trough; the doors are closed automatically, and the hydraulic pusher forces the pipes towards the rotor.

The MPS Pipe Shredder reduces material to approximately 1" (25mm) to 4" (100mm) when combined with a Colortronic granulator (stacked 2-stage or in-line with conveyors); output material sizes can range from 1/8" (3.175mm) to 1/2" (12.7mm), and the granulator can average 150% of its stated throughputs without heavy power consumption (loads typically seen when using a granulator alone). The MPS Pipe Shredder has many features and benefits to help ensure efficient granulation and are listed below.

• Low speed rotor (43 rpm on the 1000 model and 28 rpm on the 1500 model) transmits high cutting torque for processing solid, thick wall, or corrugated pipe.
• The low speed cutting action provides smooth operation when processing the heavy wall or solid pipe and reduces noise levels that typically occur when processing long lengths of heavy material.
• The 3-stage telescoping 15hp hydraulic ram pushes the pipe into the shredder, maintaining pressure to maximize throughput. The laser measurement device onn the ram records the exact position of the ram at each step of the process.
• Feed trough that processes up to 25 foot long full-length pipe horizontally. This feed style allows the heavy pipe to be fed at a comfortable height by forklift or crane without the need of complex tilting mechanisms to feed the shredder.
