Hex Shafts
At the very heart of the STQ-50 Industrial Shredder is our highly durable and effective hex shafts and robust drive system. The hex shaft ensures years of reliable service, providing constant strength throughout its lifespan. Manufactured for durability, the hex shaft can withstand the challenges of the industry. Our team of dedicated engineers have built the industrial shredder with a focus on easy maintenance, allowing for quick and easy change of components, such as swapping out knives to better suit the application.
Rollout Screen
For superior ease and efficiency for the STQ-50 Industrial Shredder, the shredder machine is equipped with easy-to-use rollout screens. These screens are designed to be easily removable from the end of the shredder for quicker maintenance. It also allows for fast and simple screen cleaning while also giving you the ability to efficiently swap out the screens for alternate sizes when dealing with different applications. This can save your workers plenty of time that can be spent operating the machine and generating revenue.
Optional Accessories for the STQ-50
A wide range of optional accessories are also available for the STQ-50 Industrial Shredder in order to fully customize this versatile machine to suit your ideal specifications. Each component is designed to enhance the overall performance of the shredder machine so that it provides you with optimized serviceability. We offer a range of accessories to improve support and convenience for the entire shredding system, including tough hoppers, durable stands, and highly efficient and easy-to-use in-feed and out-feed conveyors, among others. For more information on how Shred-Tech® can help you customize the ideal shredder machine that fits your requirements, you can contact our team today!
Hopper and Stand
A customized hopper can be easily added right onto the STQ-50 Industrial Shredder. It is designed to facilitate consistent in-feeding of material to the shredder without the risk of buildup or blockage. Built with durability in mind, the hopper endures heavier loads with ease. For additional support, we offer a reliable custom stand as an optional accessory for the STQ-50 Industrial Shredder. This heavy-duty stand has the right amount of strength needed to maintain a secure hold on the shredder machine, offering optimal support that increases the stability for applications that require the shredder to be off the ground. Stands also allow shredded material to fall via gravity onto downstream equipment such as an out-feed conveyor for easy unloading. Speak to your local sales rep about your specific needs, including dust extraction, safety curtains, and infeed locations.
In-Feed and Out-Feed Conveyors
For maximized efficiency, we recommend that you choose to include an in-feed conveyor, out-feed conveyor, or both. These conveyors are designed to automate the loading and unloading process to offer you a higher level of efficiency for much smoother operation. While the in-feed conveyor safely transports the products to the shredder, keeping your workers away from the blades, the out-feed conveyor transfers the shredded material away from the machine, which can then be dumped into a bin or other collection container. With the help of these conveyors, you can experience an increase in productivity and workflow.
