YG offers a heavy-duty metal shredding machine for sale to help you process waste materials efficiently. This machine can cut, crush, and reduce the size of various scrap metals, making them much easier to transport and reuse.
Our equipment uses strong twin shafts with durable alloy blades. It can handle tough materials like old cars, steel drums, aluminum sheets, and metal cans. With our advanced design, you can save labor costs and improve your recycling efficiency.
Why Choose An Industrial Scrap Metal Shredder
An industrial scrap metal shredder is the core equipment for modern metal recycling plants. It handles heavy workloads that small machines cannot cope with.
- High Performance blades: The blades use special alloy steel. They are very hard, wear-resistant, and can cut through thick metal sheets without breaking.
- Smart Control System: The machine comes with a PLC control cabinet. If the metal is too thick or gets stuck, the machine will automatically reverse to protect the motor and blades.
- Low Noise and Less Dust: It runs at a low speed with high torque. This design means less noise and less dust during operation, creating a safer working environment.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: The main frame is welded with thick steel plates. It stays stable even when crushing the hardest materials.

What Factors Affect The Metal Shredding Machine Price
When you look for a metal shredding machine price, you will find that different models have different costs. Understanding these factors can help you make a smart choice.
The first factor is the motor power and machine capacity. A larger model like YG-2600 has a high capacity of up to 60 tons per hour, which requires more powerful motors and more materials to build, so its price is higher than the smaller YG-600 model. The second factor is the quality of the raw materials, especially the blades. High-grade alloy blades cost more but last much longer. Finally, custom configurations, such as adding a conveyor belt or a magnetic separator, will also change the final cost.
Working Principle Of Scrap Metal Crusher Machine
The scrap metal crusher machine works by tearing and squeezing materials using two parallel shafts. Let us look at how this process works step by step.
- Feeding Stage: The scrap metal is thrown into the large hopper. You can use a forklift or a conveyor belt to feed the materials safely.
- Gripping Stage: The multi-claw blades on the two shafts turn towards each other. They grab the waste metal firmly and pull it down into the crushing chamber.
- Shredding Stage: As the shafts turn, the blades hook, cut, and tear the metal pieces into small strips.
- Discharging Stage: The crushed metal pieces fall through the bottom of the machine. The broken size is usually between 3cm and 10cm, which is perfect for melting or transporting.

What Materials Can Our Equipment Process
Our twin-shaft recycling equipment is highly versatile. It can process a very wide range of materials, not just metal.
- Waste Light Metals: This includes iron cans, aluminum beer cans, paint buckets, bicycle frames, and scrap steel sheets.
- Large Metal Structures: Old car bodies, large steel drums, and metal doors can be crushed easily by our larger models.
- Non-Metal Materials: It can also shred car tires, plastic pallets, wood blocks, old furniture, and electronic waste like computer circuit boards.
Key Maintenance Tips For Daily Operation
To keep your machine running smoothly for many years, daily maintenance is necessary. Good habits can prevent sudden breakdowns and save repair costs.
First, check the blades every day before starting the machine. Look for any loose bolts or excessive wear on the cutting teeth. Second, lubricate the bearings and gears regularly to reduce friction and heat. Third, clean the crushing chamber after work to make sure no metal pieces are stuck inside. Finally, monitor the PLC control screen to check for any unusual error messages.

Frequently Asked Questions From Buyers
How long do the shredder blades last?
The lifetime of the blades depends on the materials you shred. If you mostly crush soft aluminum cans, the blades will last a long time. If you crush thick steel plates, the blades will wear out faster. Our alloy steel blades can usually work for hundreds of hours before needing maintenance or sharpening.
Can I customize the hopper size?
Yes. We understand that different customers use different feeding methods. We can customize the size and shape of the hopper to match your conveyor belt or forklift.
What should I do if the machine gets jammed?
You do not need to worry about jams. Our machine has an automatic reverse function controlled by the PLC. When the chamber is overloaded, the shafts will automatically turn backwards for a few seconds to loosen the material, and then try again.
