Heavy Duty Shredders for Corrugated, Paperboard and Related Materials

BloApCo’s patented Pierce-and-Tear shredding action pulls material into the shredder and tears it apart. The smooth shredding action outperforms the hammering, grinding, or cutting/crushing wear and tear of other shredding or scrap reduction methods. For decades, the proven BloApCo concept has kept pace with the growing volume of waste offering the industry unsurpassed performance and economy in scrap disposal.

Pierce-and-Tear shredding works for retail distribution centers, corrugated and paperboard plants, converters and others. Materials shredded include Old Corrugated Containers (OCC). corrugated sheets, roll slab, cores and carton scrap for folding carton manufacturers; poly-coated and multi-ply materials for converters; specialty papers plus many other industrial materials.

Automatic Overload Reverse

If the shredder is overfed, the relay automatically cuts power to the shredder and the feed conveyor. The shredder reverses allowing the material to reposition for another pass as the shredder and conveyor resume the shredding process. This exclusive feature reduces jamming, downtime, and machine abuse.

Heavy Duty Infeed Conveyor

The BloApCo infeed conveyor incorporates heavy gauge steel structurally reinforced to take the abuse of loading. The belt is tracked using a center guiding system to ensure proper belt alignment.

Safety Overweight Plate

An overweight plate is built into every BloApCo floor shredder beneath the infeed conveyor belt. Whenever loads over 70 lbs. reach an area near the entrance to the shredder, a clutch drive is disengaged, cutting off power to the shredder. This construction feature provides an extra measure of operator safety compared to shredders equipped with cable operated emergency stop switches.

Pre-Packaged Installation

BloApCo floor shredders are pre-piped, pre-wired, and tested prior to shipment for fast, economical on-site installation. Two men and a lift truck can complete installation in one shift.

Lower Energy Costs

The ripper wheels are bolted in halves and keyed to adjacent wheels forming a spiral pattern along the shaft. The design spreads impact over the entire shaft producing shredding action with more capacity using less horsepower. Energy costs are significantly lower than any other waste reduction method.

Disposal Expense Down Recycling Income Up

The highly effective BloApCo shredding action fragments corrugated and paperboard waste into irregular compactible pieces. Increased density in bales and containers reduces transportation costs to disposal or reprocessing locations.

Shaft Speeds of 20 to 70 rpm Reduce Noise & Dust

The shafts of the BloApCo shredder operate in a speed range of 20 to 70 rpm. Other shredders work at rpm’s in the hundreds. Pulling material apart at low speeds produces minimum dust, greatly reduces machine noise, prevents throw-outs and eliminates potential fires. BloApCo floor shredders operate at noise levels below 80 db without sound enclosures. The clean, quiet BloApCo shredder can be placed in the most convenient and economical location in the plant.
