Precise Output Size for Buyers Who Sell to Separator and Furnace Specs
Most shredders answer the question "how small can we get it?" loosely. But yards supplying copper granulation plants, aluminum remelters, or briquetting lines answer to a different master: their buyer's particle size specification. Oversize gets rejected or re-processed at your cost; inconsistent size destabilizes separation and melt yields. The TG-FineCut 450 is a single-shaft metal shredder built for this specification-driven work: a 90 kW drive with hydraulic forced feed, a staggered-blade rotor cutting against an interchangeable screen basket, and output sized from 15 to 40 mm by the screen you fit.
The hydraulic pusher is the heart of the design. Unlike gravity-fed machines, the ram presses material against the rotor at controlled pressure, so the rotor cuts at a steady, filled rate instead of gulping and starving. That steady cut is what keeps particle size distribution tight - and tight distribution is what your downstream buyer is actually paying for.
Cutting and Screening System
- Staggered bolt-on rotor blades: blades are offset around the rotor so each cut overlaps the last, producing clean shear rather than tearing; every blade is individually replaceable and turnable.
- Interchangeable screen basket: output size follows the screen fitted - 15 mm, 25 mm, or 40 mm apertures - and screens swap through an access door without dismantling the machine.
- Hydraulic ram with pressure control: feed pressure adjusts to material; springy cable and soft aluminum need different pushing force than dense die castings, and the ram holds each setting.
- PLC auto-reverse: rotor overload triggers an automatic reverse cycle, protecting blades from the shock of a jammed piece.
- Sealed outboard bearings: kept clear of the cutting zone and screened dust, extending service intervals on abrasive feed.

Why Size Control Changes Your Selling Price
Fine, uniform shred commands better prices wherever buyers run downstream processes. Granulation feed with less oversize recovers more conductor per hour; remelter feed of consistent size melts at steadier rates with less oxidation loss; briquetting feed that is already reduced compacts denser per stroke. The TG-FineCut 450's screen-driven sizing makes that quality a machine setting rather than a hope - and because screens are interchangeable, one machine follows your contracts as they change. The hydraulic ram also lets one operator feed dense material without overloading the rotor, because pressure, not gravity, sets the cut.
Typical Applications
- Aluminum die castings and profiles for remelter feed
- Copper and brass scrap ahead of granulation or briquetting
- Light non-ferrous shred requiring specified top size
- Pre-reduction for briquetting presses and compacting lines
Before You Order
Tell us the metal mix, contamination level, and the particle size your buyer specifies. Throughput depends on material density and target size - finer screens cut output per hour, and the figures above reflect mid-range screen settings. Our engineers confirm screen selection, ram settings, and discharge handling during quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can output size really be held to a tight specification?
The screen defines the maximum particle size, and the controlled ram feed keeps the cut consistent. Actual distribution curves depend on material and screen choice and are validated with your feed during commissioning.
How long does a screen change take?
Screens are accessed through a dedicated door and are designed for change without major dismantling. The exact procedure and time are covered in commissioning training.
What maintenance do the blades need?
Blades are turnable to fresh edges and individually replaceable. Intervals depend on feed abrasiveness; your commissioning engineer establishes the baseline with your material.
Does it handle ferrous scrap too?
The machine is rated for non-ferrous and light ferrous feed. Dense ferrous loads reduce throughput and blade life; for heavy ferrous duty, a twin-shaft model is the better fit.
