Shredder Design Theory
We believe that we presently tender the world’s best
Shredding equipment and operating theory, these having evolved over
nearly 50 years of Shredding experience. The design decisions are
always made to provide for equipment that will shred scrap metals for
the lowest cost per ton throughout the life of the plant. When you do
busines with The Shredder Company you receive from the experts in this
industry a solution that takes into account every environmental and
economic condition at your plant, maximizing your profit.
Choosing the right Shredder for you
In contemporary shredding there are two competing paradigms of shredder
size: big and small. Practitioners of the former school maintain that
owning several small machines near to the supply of scrap is the most
economically viable option, as it minimizes freight in a market with a
rising cost of transportation; advocates of the latter argue that the
diminished cost per ton of a large machine represents compensates for
the additional freight of moving scrap from the outskirts to the center
of your buying zone. At The Shredder Company we regularly do business
with those of
both mindsets and would be pleased to consult with you on the best
solution for your facility.
If you are interested in more analysis of the issue of centralization
versus
decentralization we invite you to read Scott Newell's

is One Large Shredding Plant Better than Two or Three Smaller Shredding
Plants?".
