Shredding Machine for Waste Cloth
This is a spiral shredder specifically designed for processing old clothing, plastic film, and flexible fibre waste. Through a continuous traction-and-shearing mechanism, it rapidly shreds tangled, loose, and lightweight materials into uniform sizes, facilitating subsequent recycling, reuse, or reprocessing.
Equipment Structure and Operating Principle
Unlike traditional knife-shaft shredders, this type of equipment employs a combination of spiral feeding and multiple sets of cutting rollers. Once the material enters the feed inlet, it is continuously ‘pulled in’ by the spiral conveyor whilst being subjected to shearing and tearing by the rotating blades, thereby achieving continuous shredding. This design is particularly suited to soft, easily entangled materials, minimising the risk of blockages or slippage.
The core advantages lie in two aspects: firstly, ‘active feeding’, which eliminates the need for manual assistance; and secondly, ‘progressive shredding’, whereby materials are gradually torn apart from a loose state, reducing the impact of a single load and thereby maintaining stable equipment operation. This structure is particularly efficient for typical lightweight waste materials such as old clothes, fabric strips, non-woven fabric scraps, and plastic film.
Model Specifications and Processing Capacity
Depending on the scale of processing, this series offers a range of models to cover everything from small-scale processing to high-volume recycling requirements:
SMC-800F: Power 7.5+1.5 kW, processing capacity approx. 100 kg/h, dimensions 3.2 × 1.0 × 1.2 m. Suitable for small-scale or primary recycling operations, with an output length of 5–150 mm.
SMC-1200F: Power 15+2.2 kW, throughput increased to 200 kg/h, dimensions 7.0 × 1.5 × 1.5 m, suitable for small to medium-sized recycling centres.
SMC-1600F: Power 18.5+3.0 kW, processing capacity 400 kg/h, dimensions 7.0 × 1.8 × 1.95 m, striking a balance between stability and efficiency.
SMC-2400F: Power 22+22+3.0 kW, output 600 kg/h, dimensions 5.8 × 2.2 × 1.95 m, suitable for continuous production lines, output length 10–150 mm.
SMC-3200F: Power 45+45+5.5 kW, processing capacity up to 1500 kg/h, dimensions 13.0 × 3.3 × 3.0 m, suitable for large-scale recycling centres, output range 10–300 mm.
As can be seen from the specifications, the equipment not only offers a range of production capacities but also allows for control of the final output size by adjusting the blade clearance and screen mesh, thereby meeting the requirements of various downstream processes (such as re-spinning, compression, and pelletisation).
Application Scenarios and Value
The core value of this type of spiral shredder lies not in ‘crushing’, but in the ‘stable processing of difficult-to-handle materials’. Traditional equipment often suffers from shaft entanglement, blockages, or even shutdowns when processing fabrics and films; however, this machine resolves this industry pain point through structural optimisation.
In practical applications, it is primarily suitable for the following scenarios:
Pre-processing of recycled clothing, shredding large textile items before they enter the opening or re-spinning process;
Processing of plastic film and woven bags, enhancing the efficiency of subsequent washing and pelletising;
Recycling of textile factory offcuts, achieving waste reduction and resource recovery.
For recycling enterprises, the significance of this equipment lies in enhancing continuous operation capabilities and reducing the frequency of manual intervention. At the same time, ensuring consistent output specifications improves the operational efficiency of downstream equipment, thereby enhancing the overall economic viability of the recycling chain.
