There are three main configurations:
Medium
Duty
Models 3CAX-2548/2558
Capacity & Capability
BloApCo medium-duty
pallet shredders are designed to shred from 30 to 60 disposable one-way
or light-duty returnable pallets per hour. Unit can accommodate sizes
up to 50" wide by 60" long and can readily digest 2" x 4" dry lumber,
planks up to 2" thick and 3/4" plyscore. Resultant shreds are irregular
in shape and size, averaging 50 square inches in area.
Bolts, nuts, nails, wire and strapping pass through the shredder without
interference. However, extremely flexible material or non-splintering,
narrow greed wood strips may pass through the machine without being completely
shredded.
The shredder also is ideal for the destruction and/or destruction recovery
of canned and bottled liquids and free-flowing solids. Plastics, light
metal assemblies and parts which must be rendered inoperable or useless
before discard also can be successfully processed by the shredder.
Ripper Wheels
Standard cast-ductile iron, 180 degree in circumference and 5 1/4" wide.
Half sections are paired and bolted around shafts. Teeth do not require
sharpening. Entire sections can be easily replaced. Teeth are double-edged
so wheels can be reversed on shafts, doubling their useful life.
Drive
Equipped with standard 25 HP TEFC motors. Motor drives a shaft-mounted
reducer through a V-belt drive. Drive to the other shafts is by means
of a heavy-duty roller chain. Shafts run in 2 15/16" heavy-duty, self-aligning,
spherical roller bearings. Bearings are set in machined housings and protected
by seals. Bearings are grease lubricated through central lubrication blocks.
Heavy Duty
Models 3GFS-4066
Capacity
This BloApCo pallet
shredder can handle in excess of 200 board feet of pallet material per
minute, or 12,000 pounds of corrugated, paperboard packing material per
hour. It will readily digest 39" wide heavy-duty wood pallets, crates,
skids and timbers up to 6" x 6" by any length.
For best results and maximum capacity, material should be fed at a uniform
rate. Conveyors used to feed material to the shredder inlet should be
operated at approximately 15 FPM, so that the 30 FPM pull-in speed of
the shredder will tend to pull material into the unit faster than it is
delivered by the conveyor.
Ripper Wheels
The 32 3/4" diameter steel ripper wheels are furnished in 180 degree sections
and welded together on the shaft. Wheels are removable and replaceable
through the use of burnout sections. There are no snag points for wire
or steel strapping to hang on. The teeth are flame-hardened for maximum
life and do not ordinarily require sharpening. For special applications,
the ripper wheel spacing can be arranged to obtain a desired degree of
shredding. Flexible and thin materials may require more ripper wheels
than standard and the machine is built for flexibility of wheel arrangements.
Teeth are double-edged so wheels can be reversed on shafts, doubling their
useful life.
Drive
A 40 HP TEFC motor is standard. The motor drives a rugged, concentric
shaft reducer through a V-belt drive. The drive to the ripper shafts from
the reducer is through heavy-duty roller chains. Ripper shaft journals
run in 5 3/16" heavy-duty, self-aligning, spherical roller bearings. These
bearings are set in a machined housing and are protected by seals. Central
lubrication blocks are used to facilitate grease lubrication of the bearings.
Super-Duty
Models 3GFS-6066/3GFS-6080
The super-duty model is
intended, as its name implies, for use where large skids with up to 4"
x 12" timbers or 8" x 8" blocks are to be shredded. The unit will accommodate
crates or skids of 4 x 5 x 10 feet or longer. It is available in either
66" or 80" wide inlet versions.
For best results, the unit should be fed at an even rate. When fed in
this manner, it will destruct and shred approximately 300 pallets per
hour with an average weight of 50 lbs. each.
Shredder can be used for the destruction of cartons and containers of
glass, metal or cardboard for recovery of product or to prevent usage
after disposal. It also can be used for the destruction of some plastic
and metal parts assemblies.
Ripper Wheels
Due to the designed heavy-duty requirements, ripper wheels on the super-duty
model are manufactured of flame-cut steel and welded together on the 22"
diameter shafts for easy replacement or repair.
Drive
A 60 HP TEFC motor is standard. The motor drives a rugged, concentric
shaft reducer through a V-belt drive and the drive to the ripper shafts
from the reducer is through heavy-duty roller chains. Ripper shaft journals
run in 5 3/16" heavy-duty, self-aligning spherical roller bearings. These
bearings are set in a machined housing and are protected by seals. Central
lubrication blocks are used to facilitate grease lubrication of the bearings.
