Engineered for High-Volume Warehouse & Distribution Centers

BloApCo® 5-Shaft Pierce & Tear Shredders

Modern warehouses, fulfillment centers, and distribution facilities generate enormous quantities of corrugated waste every day. While individual boxes may not be difficult to shred, the continuous volume can overwhelm conventional waste handling systems. BloApCo 5-Shaft Pierce & Tear Shredders were developed specifically to keep these operations moving.

Distribution centers, retail fulfillment operations, warehouse packaging systems, e-commerce facilities, large recycling operations, and automated waste handling systems.
Why Choose a 5-Shaft Shredder?

The 5-shaft design is engineered for throughput. Additional ripper shafts continuously engage, collapse, and feed bulky containers into the shredding chamber, maximizing material flow while minimizing operator involvement.

When does a 5-Shaft Shredder Makes Sense?

Choose a 5-shaft shredder when waste volume is the primary challenge, large quantities of OCC are generated daily, baler jams are creating labor issues, large gaylords are common, or automation and labor reduction are priorities.

Maximize Productivity and Profits

With thousands of shredders installed, BloApCo’s best-selling 5-shaft Pierce-and-Tear shredders are engineered for applications requiring demanding material reduction, reliable continuous-duty operation, superior throughput and performance, and unrivaled low cost of ownership.

Configured Around the Application

Integrated System Configurations

Systems may include pneumatic conveying, balers, conveyors, trim handling systems, and centralized waste collection.

Engineered for High-Volume Waste Streams

Designed exclusively for warehouse and distribution center environments, 5-shaft shredders excel at processing large volumes of old corrugated containers (OCC), gaylords, bulk shipping containers, appliance cartons, furniture cartons, and e-commerce packaging waste.

Eliminate Baler Bottlenecks

Shredding corrugated containers before baling or compacting eliminates hopper jams, prevents material backups, and keeps waste lines moving even during periods of peak volume. Operators spend less time dealing with interruptions and more time on productive tasks.

Stop Babysitting Your Baler

BloApCo 5-shaft shredders are designed to be self-feeding, self-clearing, and fully automatic. The ripper-wheel action continuously pulls material into the system while Auto Jog Reverse clears overload conditions automatically.

Increase Bale Density and Reduce Haul-Away Costs

Shredded corrugated material packs significantly more efficiently than whole boxes. Denser bales reduce baler cycling, lower transportation costs, reduce storage requirements, and improve recycling efficiency.

Built for Automation

Many BloApCo 5-shaft systems operate completely unattended. Available configurations include inline balers, compactors, pneumatic conveying systems, dual infeed systems, automated discharge systems, and complete scrap removal systems.

Maximum Throughput. Minimal Intervention.

BloApCo 5-Shaft Pierce & Tear Shredders provide the throughput, automation, and reliability required by modern distribution centers and warehouse operations. Designed specifically for high-volume corrugated waste streams, they form the foundation of complete automated waste handling systems.
