C&D Processing
It doesn't matter if the job is small or huge, residential, industrial, or commercial - there is a place for a HAMMEL Primary Shredder on your demolition site!
Why bring a shredder on-site?
| Feature | Benefit | What's in it for me? |
| Volume Reduction | Typical C&D material will be reduced in volume 2:1 to 4:1 | Your boxes and trucks will be loaded more efficiently. You will take 3-4 times fewer trips hauling material off your site - saving you gas, time, and labor. |
| More Fines | Run shredded material over a screen to create more fines | Material will screen more efficiently and yield more 2-3" minus that can be dumped as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) for much less! |
| Better Rates at the Landfill | Landfills love shredded material | Negotiate a better rate for all your dumping after the landfill sees how much better and easier your material compacts and is metal-free. |
| Over-Belt Magnet | Separates out over 95% of ferrous metals | 1- Steel does not end up in your truck to the landfill, and does not weigh down your truck, costing you dumping fees 2- You can instead sell this valuable scrap metal and make money rather than spend it! |
| Slow-Speed, High-Torque | No projectiles | Our shredders are safe to use on almost any site. The safety-radius/ danger zone is only 50 feet. |
| Low noise levels | You will be surprised how little noise our shredders put out considering their power and throughput capabilities. | |
| No damage when feeding "unshreddables" | Even when you accidentally feed the machine a solid I-Beam, the hydraulic monitoring keeps the machine from harming itself. Worst case scenario is that you notice reduced production rates and have to pull out the unprocessable material. | |
Which shredder is right for me?
VB 450 | VB 750 | VB 850 | VB 950 | |
Throughput of C&D in tons per hour | 8-10 | 35-40 | 80-90 | 150+ |
Available mobility options
| WA or T | WA or T | T only | T only |
Fuel consumption in gal/hr | 3 | 6 | 10-12 | 16-18 |
The machine size greatly depends on the required throughput volume. Mobility comes into play when taking machine to each job site, therefore a track mounted machine would be best recommended!
