Piggy Back Shredding For Cost-Effective Baling

Shredding before baling or compacting can save you money in many ways.
    --Shredding can often be used to make previously unbaleable material suitable for baling.
    --Shredding affords an efficient, labor-saving means of handling waste material.
    --Shredding increases baler capacity.
    --Shredding increases baler or container weight.
    --Shredding cuts haul-away costs.
    --Shredding often reduces pilferage.

BloApCo Piggy-Back Shredding
With BloApCo's Piggy-Back concept, the BloApCo Shredder is positioned over a baler or compactor for direct gravity feed of shredded waste.

Advantages
--Piggy-Back lets you choose shredder type, size and configuration best suited to your application. --Gives you the choice of any horizontal, automatic baler (including those with automatic tying) or any compactor.

Less Noise and Dust -- Less Energy
BloApCo Shredders use low horsepower motors and V-belt driven gear reducers for high torque, low speed shredding. This concept assures longer service life, while using less energy, and producing less noise and dust. In fact, BloApCo Shredders are the quietest available with an operating noise level below 80 dB.

Safety
Automatic reverse and jog -- Virtually eliminates need for personnel to enter shredder to manually remove overload and/or jammed material. Under jam conditions, to protect motor and shredder drive, an instant-acting trip relay automatically cuts power, disengages conveyor clutch and shuts off motor. Automatic reversal will then reposition material for another shredding pass.

Safety guards -- Durable guards and doors cover drive and reduction gearing, providing protection with quick, easy access for routine maintenance.

No throw outs -- Slow speed, high torque pierce-and-tear shredding prevents material throw-out.

Minimum maintenance -- Quality design and construction, plus use of proven, readily available components, give long life with normal, routine care...easily done by in-house maintenance people. Central lube blocks make greasing the bearings a snap.
