Komptech GmbH has introduced its new single-shaft shredder, the Terminator. The shredder is available as both a mobile and stationary version to handle a wide range of material.
• Applications with drum/opposing comb system variants range from coarse pre-crushing to defined shredding. The continuous cutting gap adjustment allows tailoring of the produced particle size to subsequent treatment stage.
• A hydraulic drive with load-dependent speed control ensures maximum motor performance on mobile machines. An electro-mechanical drive for highest efficiency is offered on stationary models as an additional option.
• The Terminator has four shredding units and is designed with a sturdy, contrary-insensitive pre-shredder.
• The Terminator has variable particle size by adjusting cutting gap, a continuously variable speed regulation, optimum utilization of power with hydraulic drive and a broad range of mechanization and configuration options.
• The Terminator can shred bulk refuse, scrap wood, building material, household, residual and commercial scrap material.
