Hydraulic double shaft shredder is a low-speed, high-torque industrial shredding machine designed for processing heavy, tough, and irregular solid waste. Unlike electric drive shredders, the hydraulic system provides stronger torque output, automatic overload protection, and stable performance. It is especially suitable for materials that easily cause jamming in conventional shredders. The system automatically adapts to load changes and reverses when encountering unbreakable objects, protecting key components and ensuring continuous operation. It effectively downsizes car shells, metal scraps, tires, pallets, and mixed bulky waste into manageable pieces for downstream sorting or crushing, making it an essential front-end machine for modern recycling plants seeking reliability, safety, and high throughput.

The hydraulic shredder operates with two counter-rotating shafts driven by powerful hydraulic motors that deliver high torque at low speed. Materials are fed into the shredding chamber, where alloy steel blades grab, shear, and tear bulky waste into smaller pieces. The hydraulic drive system automatically adjusts to load changes and can reverse rotation when encountering unbreakable objects, preventing jamming and protecting the blades. This stable, high-torque shredding process makes the machine especially suitable for heavy, tough, and irregular materials in demanding recycling applications. Please watch the shredder working video below:
Powered by hydraulic motors, the shredder delivers strong torque at low speed, making it ideal for tearing heavy, tough, and irregular waste materials that are difficult for conventional electric shredders to handle.
When unbreakable materials enter the shredding chamber, the hydraulic system automatically reverses to prevent jamming and protect the blades and shafts from damage.
The hydraulic drive adapts to load changes during operation, ensuring smooth and continuous shredding performance even when processing mixed or bulky waste.
Equipped with high-strength alloy blades, the shredder provides excellent wear resistance and long service life in demanding recycling environments.
Suitable for scrap metal, waste tires, wood pallets, plastic waste, furniture, and industrial solid waste, making it versatile for different recycling industries.
The shredding chamber is designed for convenient inspection and blade replacement, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
The low-speed, high-torque design combined with hydraulic control minimizes vibration and mechanical stress on key components.
The hydraulic shredder can be integrated with conveyors, magnetic separators, and other equipment as part of a complete waste recycling solution.
The following technical parameters show the main specifications of different hydraulic shredder models. Shaft diameter, shredding chamber size, and torque output determine the machine’s capacity to process heavy and bulky materials. Our engineers can recommend the most suitable model based on your material type and required capacity.

Our hydraulic shredders have been installed in recycling plants and waste processing facilities across multiple countries, handling demanding materials such as scrap metal, waste tires, wood pallets, and bulky industrial waste. These projects demonstrate the machine’s ability to operate reliably under heavy loads while delivering consistent shredding performance for downstream separation and recycling processes.
Project 1: A recycling company in Singapore installed the hydraulic shredder to process wooden board, timber, and mixed wood waste. The high-torque hydraulic system prevented jamming and ensured stable and continuous shredding opertations.
Project 2: In 2025, the hydraulic shredder was used to shred scrap metal and car shells. The machine effectively reduced material volume and improved efficiency for subsequent sorting and recycling.
A hydraulic shredder is typically installed at the front of a scrap recycling line to reduce bulky and tough materials into manageable sizes for further processing. Materials such as scrap metal, tires, wood pallets, and industrial waste are first fed into the shredder through a conveyor or grabber. After shredding, the output is transferred by conveyor to magnetic separators, sorting systems, or secondary crushing equipment depending on the recycling requirements. This setup improves material handling, enhances separation efficiency, and reduces transportation and storage costs, forming a complete and efficient recycling solution for waste processing plants.
As a professional manufacturer with years of experience, we provide integrated scrap recycling equipment tailored for customers planning to start this business. If you want to know more about equipment configuration, quotation, factory layout or technical details, please leave a message or contact us directly—our professional team will provide you with a tailor-made solution as soon as possible!
