EcoShred^® Compact

State-of-the-art shredder technology through combined pre- and main shredder

For many years, large-capacity shredding installations were reserved primarily to a small group of financially larger scrap processors. The advantage of the EcoShred Compact made shredder technology also available to small- and medium-sized scrap processors and automobile recyclers. With the EcoShred Compact, SICON relies on modern shredder technology integrated in a modular and economically viable system. Both the technical characteristics and the low necessary infrastructure costs are impressive.

The EcoShred Compact is equipped with an integrated pre-shredder, which is implemented as a twin-shaft shredder system with flipper. The combination of pre-shredder and main shredder entails significant advantages.

Advantages of an integrated pre-shredder

Scrap is ripped by the pre-shredder and afterwards compacted directly by the main shredder to an optimum
The risk of explosions is decreased significantly
Unshreddables do not enter the shredder, which results in an improved operational reliability
Prevention of any peak loads in the main shredder (uniform power consumption)
Bales can also be processed with a driving power of 1,000 kW

EcoShred® Compact represents a breakthrough in innovation and combination. With a system based on finely tuned components, SICON focuses on maximizing performance and energy efficiency. The combination of pre-shredder and shredder in one system results in a significant reduction in specific energy consumption per ton of shredded scrap. The finely tuned shredding stages ensure fully automatic operation, which means the system can be monitored by a single crane operator. There is no longer a need to construct separate infrastructure. The entire concept is designed with exceptional ease of operation and maintenance in mind. Additionally, the EcoShred® Compact offers numerous features that make working with and on the shredder more economical and safer than any other machines available on the market today.

EcoShred^® Compact process results in a high and consistent scrap density and thus a correspondingly good material preparation – with clear advantages for the recovery of NF metals. EcoShred® Compact forms the basis for the efficient operation of a shredder system.

The EcoShred^® Compact has many features that make working on and with the shredder more economical and safer than with any other machine available on the market today.
