EcoShred®Compact
Scrap shredding made easy
For many years, large-capacity shredding installations were reserved primarily to a small group of financially sound scrap processors. The advent of the EcoShred® Compact made shredder technology also available to small to medium-sized scrap processors and automobile recyclers. With EcoShred® Compact, SICON relies on state-of-the-art 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 prepared and homogenized for further compaction in the shredder
- 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
Shredding made simple – like never before
EcoShred® Compact represents innovation in combination. With a system based on finely tuned components, SICON focuses on better performance and energy efficiency. Pre-shredder and shredder combined in one system results in a significant reduction of the specific energy consumption per ton of shredded scrap. The finely tuned shredding stages lead to a fully automatic operation. That means, the system can be monitored by a single crane operator. It is no longer necessary to install a separate operation container. The entire concept is designed with extraordinary ease of operation and maintenance in mind. In addition to that, the EcoShred® Compact offers many features that make working on and with the shredder more economic and safe than with all other machines available nowadays on the market.
Drive concept
- Low investment costs thanks to a drive solution based on four medium-voltage motors
- Should one of the four motors fail, it is still possible to ensure 75% of the shredder’s output as a result of the ability to decouple that motor from the main gearbox using VOITH® fluid couplers.
- Decrease in energy costs due to optimizing the pre- and main shredders and implementing a comprehensive intelligent control system
Hydraulic unit
- Maximum performance and reliability with LIEBHERR®/ Bosch hydraulic components
- Stable output even when subject to extreme weather conditions thanks to the integrated water cooling system
Control panel
- Mobile control panel for incredibly easy remote control from the wheeled excavator
- No separate control cabin necessary
- Fully automatic shredder control system
Integrated pre-shredder
- Good material preparation for obtaining a higher scrap density in the main shredder
- The pre-shredder prevents that heavy components get in the main shredder and possibly damage the rotor or rotor components in the shredder chamber
- Decrease in risk of explosion
- Increase in shredder output by optimizing the pre- and main shredders
- Increase in the quality of the shredded scrap (higher density)
- Reduced emissions of noise thanks to uniform operation without any peak loads
- Energy efficient as a result of the uniform electro-hydraulic drive. Constant output, which results in low-wear operation
Rotor housing block
- Easy maintenance and accessibility while minimizing risks at the same time thanks to adapted design of the main shredder (rotor only 1,500mm over the actual main foundation, swivel-mounted)
- Rugged steel structure for a long reliable service life
Rotor
- Rotor shaft made of high-alloy steel
- Rotor disks with spacers and fastening by means of tie rods
- Disk rotor fully covered with canopy (standard version)
- Hammers distributed on six axles
- Rotor bearing with grease lubrication
- Spider rotor for special applications available as an option

Advantages at a glance
- Shredder with integrated EcoRip™ pre-shredder in a system
- High scrap density and very good material preparation by means of full box shredding
- Prevention of explosions through material preparation upstream of main shredder
- Heavy components are already identified and separated in the pre-shredder – that protects the rotor elements in the main shredder from any damage.
- Prevention of peak loads with optimum energy management system
- Significantly higher output by means of an intelligent system combination as conventional shredder with the same driving power
- Fully automatic operation reduces personnel costs
- Easy but safe access for changing wear parts with maximum operator safety
- Significant decrease in investment with regard to power supply (low voltage 400 V / 460 V vs. high voltage 6/11 kV)
- Quick and easy installation as a result of reduced requirements on infrastructure (for instance, a simple foundation slab is sufficient and no separate operations building is required)
The 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.
