How to specify an industrial metal shredder for mixed scrap: chamber size, drive power, cutter design and throughput matching for continuous two-shift operation.

Yards processing mixed ferrous and non-ferrous scrap report the same three cost drivers: unpremeditated stoppages when bulky items bridge the hopper, uneven output that overloads downstream sorting, and cutter wear that is priced per ton without being tracked. Each stoppage idles loaders and staff; each uneven fraction lowers the value of sorted output.
Tian Gong twin-shaft industrial metal shredders use counter-rotating shafts with bolt-on alloy cutting discs, sized chambers (800 x 600 mm up to 1,400 x 1,100 mm) and PLC auto-reverse. The low-speed, high-torque shear action grips bulky feed instead of depending on gravity drop, and auto-reverse clears jams without operator intervention. Interchangeable screens set the discharge fraction so downstream sorting sees a consistent particle size.
Continuous two-shift feeding with fewer manual interventions, a discharge fraction your sorting line was actually designed for, and wear parts replaced in the yard instead of in a workshop. Every machine ships with a spare-parts kit and a 12-month warranty.
Select your feed material and capacity target - matching is based on the published ratings of the equipment below, not estimates.

A regional scrap dealer running two shifts per day installed a TG-MegaShred 1600 to replace an ageing mill that stalled on whole white goods. Before commissioning the yard pre-cut large appliances by hand; after the changeover, whole appliances feed directly into the 1,400 x 1,100 mm chamber at 30-40 t/h rated throughput. The comparison comes from the site's commissioning protocol and first-month shift logs supplied at handover.
A mid-size yard added a TG-TwinShred 300 (800 x 600 mm chamber, 3-6 t/h) ahead of its sorting line to even out sheet steel, aluminium profiles and small appliance casings. Previously, uneven feedstock forced frequent manual sorting stops; the yard now runs steadier conveyor loading recorded in its weekly output reports. Figures are taken from the buyer's own production reports after the first quarter.
A recycling company compressing aluminium and light-metal bales commissioned a TG-BaleShred 1000 with hydraulic bale guide rollers. Compressed bales that previously required opening by excavator now feed flat into the cut at 12-20 t/h on aluminium and light-metal bales. The yard verified throughput during the documented acceptance run included in its delivery file.
★★★★★
Purchased through a European dealer network for a two-shift mixed scrap yard.
"The auto-reverse has cleared every jam on its own since commissioning; I stopped planning operator time around blockages."
Verified result: shift-log records show zero manual unjamming stops in the first 90 days after handover.
Source: commissioning protocol and 90-day shift logs, documented at delivery acceptance.
★★★★
Second purchase for a cable and light-metal processing yard in Poland.
"Output size finally matches what our sorting line was built for; I would still like a larger standard screen range in stock locally."
Verified result: repeat order placed for a second unit within 14 months of the first delivery.
Source: order records for the repeat purchase, reference on file with the sales team.
★★★★
Bale processing line upgrade for an Ontario recycling company, supplied for North American power supply.
"Hydraulic bale guide rollers feed compressed bales flat without an excavator opening them first; response on the one warranty call we made was within the agreed window."
Verified result: acceptance-run throughput of 12-20 t/h on aluminium and light-metal bales recorded in the delivery file.
Source: documented acceptance run and warranty service record.

View product detailsTwin-shaft models such as the TG-TwinShred 300 and TG-MegaShred 1600 are configured for mixed ferrous and non-ferrous feed; cutter discs and screen settings are selected against your material mix during quotation.
Chamber opening must clear your largest regular feed item. Whole white goods need the 1,400 x 1,100 mm class; baled light metal suits the 1,200 x 1,000 mm bale-shredding chamber with guide rollers.
Bolt-on alloy cutting discs are field-replaceable; shafts do not need to leave the frame. Spare-part kits ship with every machine.
Yes. Drive systems are configurable for 50 Hz and 60 Hz plant electrical systems; confirm your supply at inquiry stage.
Standard models are built to hold lead times under 45 days. Every machine ships with a spare-parts kit, and installation supervision plus operator training are provided.
