Twin shaft industrial shredder
Industrial pre-shredder and twin-shaft shredder
The Blue Devil slow-speed scrap pre shredder, crafted from high-strength steel, is one of the strongest twin-shaft shredders in the industry. With slow-rotating, high torque shafts, it delivers exceptional performance, effortlessly tackling both scrap iron, ferrous and non-ferrous materials with precision and power.
Built for safety and efficiency
When used as a pre-shredder, the Blue Devil prevents explosions from sealed containers and tanks inside hammer mills, ensuring worker safety and reducing equipment maintenance costs. This resilience ensures smoother operations and significantly extends the life of the hammer mill. It is also designed to minimize dust and noise emissions, which makes the Blue Devil community-friendly.
The Blue Devil requires a minimum 9-foot by 8-foot concrete pad and can be built and commissioned typically within one week.

Blue Devil: intelligent control system
The custom-designed advanced PLC in our control container combines innovation and reliability. The hydraulic detection system automatically adjusts shaft speed based on the resistance encountered during shredding.
When critical conditions arise, such as an overload or encountering unshreddable material, the system instantly responds by slowing or reversing the shaft rotation, safeguarding the blades and shaft from damage.
The advanced control system also monitors key performance indicators (KPIs) while tracking alarms and shutdowns triggered by overloads. By integrating efficient components with smart technology, it ensures optimal performance and minimizes operating costs.
