A recycling facility in Toronto, Canada, recently added a YG-1400 electronic waste shredder to their production line. The company processes old computers, television sets, printed circuit boards, and other e-waste materials. They needed a machine that could handle mixed materials without frequent breakdowns. Their old equipment caused too many production stoppages. After researching several options, they chose our YG-1400 model. This machine now runs 8 hours per day at their facility. It processes 8-12 tons of e-waste every hour. The output size stays between 3-10cm, which meets Canada’s new recycling standards.

Background: Why Canadian Facility Needed New E-Waste Recycling Equipment
Canada generates over 700,000 tons of electronic waste each year. Only about 20% of this gets properly recycled. In 2025, the Canadian government introduced stricter rules for e-waste processing. All recyclers must now crush materials to under 10cm before shipment. This rule aims to make material recovery easier and safer. The Toronto facility processed about 400 tons of e-waste monthly. But their old shredder could not meet the new size requirements. They also faced pressure from their buyers. Metal recovery companies wanted smaller, more uniform pieces. Larger pieces meant lower recovery rates and less profit.
The Customer’s Specific Application
The customer uses their electronic waste shredder for three main material streams:
- Desktop computers and servers – These contain plastic cases, metal frames, and circuit boards. The machine breaks them into mixed pieces for further separation.
- Television sets and monitors – Old CRT TVs have glass screens and plastic shells. The shredder handles both materials together without clogging.
- Circuit boards from various devices – These boards contain precious metals. Crushing them releases copper, gold, and silver for recovery.
Workers feed materials into the hopper using a conveyor belt. The 2000*2000mm hopper accepts large items without pre-breaking. This saves labor time and speeds up processing.
Performance Feedback After One Month
The customer tracked their machine’s performance carefully. Here is what they recorded:
Output Consistency: The machine produced uniform 3-8cm pieces throughout testing. This consistency helps their downstream sorting equipment work better.
Blade Durability: After processing 380 tons of e-waste, the blades still cut effectively. Their old machine needed blade changes after 250 tons. The blades on this electronic waste shredder last much longer, saving money on replacement parts.
Noise And Dust Control: The machine operates at acceptable noise levels for their industrial zone. The dust collection system captures most particles.
Energy Usage: The 4-45*2KW motors consume less power than their old 60KW single motor. Despite higher total power, the dual-motor design uses energy more efficiently. The facility manager estimated a 15% reduction in electricity costs.

Why The Canada Customer Selected YG Over Other Suppliers
The customer evaluated three different e waste recycling equipment manufacturers. Each supplier offered similar capacity machines. But YG won the contract for several clear reasons.
1. Better Matching Of Power and Speed
The YG-1400 runs at 14-35r/min with 4-45*2KW motors. This combination gives high torque at low speed. The customer processes mixed materials including glass, plastic, and metal. Low speed prevents the machine from overheating. It also reduces the risk of blade damage from hard objects. The customer tested samples with all three suppliers. Only the YG-1400 delivered the right balance of speed, power, and output consistency.
2. Hopper Size Fits their Existing Setup
The YG-1400 has a 2000*2000mm hopper. This size matches their conveyor system perfectly. They did not need to modify their feeding line. Other suppliers offered smaller hoppers that would require additional pre-processing. This saved time and money on installation.
3. Faster Delivery And Installation
YG promised delivery within 45 days. The other suppliers quoted 60-75 days. The customer had already delayed their upgrade for three months. Our faster timeline helped them avoid production gaps. We shipped the electronic waste shredder on schedule. The customer’s maintenance crew installed the machine with our remote support.
4. Competitive Pricing With Better Features
YG offered the most competitive price among the three finalists. But price alone did not win the deal. We also included premium blades made from high-carbon steel with special hardening, an automatic lubrication system that reduces maintenance time, thermal overload protection, and a user-friendly control panel.
The plant manager said: “YG gave us the best value. Not the cheapest price, but the best total package. We got a reliable electronic waste shredder with features that other suppliers charged extra for.”

How YG’s Electronic Waste Shredder Solves Common Industry Problems
Problem 1: Frequent Jams And Breakdowns
Many e-waste shredders jam when processing mixed materials. Plastic wraps around the blades. Metal pieces get stuck between shafts. Glass shards cause excessive wear.
YG’s Solution: The dual-shaft design with 14-35r/min speed prevents jamming. The slow rotation gives the machine time to cut through tough materials. The blades have a special shape that self-cleans as they rotate.
Problem 2: Inconsistent Output Size
Uneven output causes problems for downstream equipment. Magnetic separators work best with uniform material size. Optical sorters need consistent particle dimensions.
YG’s Solution: The YG-1400 produces output between 3-10cm. The customer sets the gap between blades to achieve their desired size. The machine maintains this setting throughout operation.
Problem 3: High Energy Costs
E-waste recycling consumes significant electricity. Many older machines waste energy through inefficient motors.
YG’s Solution: The dual-motor system runs more efficiently than single-motor designs. Each motor handles one shaft independently. This allows the machine to adjust power based on load.
Problem 4: Difficult Maintenance
Hard-to-reach components increase maintenance time. Complex disassembly procedures delay blade changes.
YG’s Solution: The electronic waste crusher has easy-access panels. Operators can reach blades, bearings, and motors without removing major parts. The automatic lubrication system further reduces maintenance needs.
