The Powershredder 2400 is a mobile, track-mounted, heavy-duty shredder designed for volume waste reduction tasks. The largest shredder in the company’s range, it features a number of different tools and shaft configurations for the efficient and high-volume reduction of household, industrial, building and green waste, as well as timber, plastics and logging/sawmill waste. Under measured test conditions, the Powershredder 2400 proved capable of processing up to 105 tonnes per hour of old timber and municipal solid waste; for bulkier refuse and industrial solid waste, throughput averaged 55 tonnes per hour.

According to the manufacturer, the Powershredder 2400 offers consistent and uniform material sizing with a range of tools to match the various shaft configurations. In operation, the agile machine achieves low dust and noise emission levels, and has a small ‘footprint’ in relation its high throughput.

Automatic and fixed reverse shafts allow optimum processing of the widest possible range of materials, according to the manufacturer. A low feed-in tipping hopper of 6.35m³ capacity means that the shredder can be fed by conveyor, excavator and grab, or loading shovel. The hydraulically folding 1400 mm wide discharge conveyor (with chevron belting) has a discharge height of 4 metres, loading directly into tippers or directly feeding into a secondary separating processor such as a trommel. Furthermore, the angle of the conveyor is hydraulically adjustable between 15º and 34º.

Equipped with remote control for safe-distance operation, optional extras for the Powershredder 2400 include hopper extensions, while a breaker bar can be installed below the shafts for further size-reduction of waste materials.
