Textile shredder

Businesses and governments are looking for better alternatives for the recycling of unwanted fabric and textile scrap. Here at Wanrooetech, we propose fabric shredding instead of pyrolysis or burial. The final particles from shredding are a great material for carbonation.

All of these varieties of fabric waste can be shredded consistently and easily with our range of Wanrooetech shredding equipment and textile shredders. The resulting materials can further add value by making RDF(refuse-derived fuel) fuel pallets.

Textile shredder machine is a single shaft shredding machine, textile shredder machine adopts the close row of small blade knife roller, with a hydraulic pushing box, forced plate and other institutions, with low speed, low noise, large torque, high efficiency and energy saving advantages.

Why recycling textile

After recycling, valuable fibers and materials can be extracted from waste textiles, reducing the demand for raw materials and the occupation of land and water resources.
Recycling textiles can reduce environmental pollution. Untreated waste textiles may release harmful substances, contaminate soil and water quality. Recycling can concentrate the treatment of these harmful substances and reduce environmental risks.
Textile recycling also has economic value. Recycled textiles can be transformed into new products through processing, creating profits and employment opportunities, and promoting the development of related industries.

Working principle of textile shredder

Firstly, the waste textiles to be processed are fed into the feeding port of the shredder through conveyor belts or manual input. The shredder is equipped with a rotating cutterhead and a fixed cutterhead, on which multiple blades are installed. These blades are optimized for different types of textiles to ensure effective cutting of various materials such as cotton, linen, nylon, and polyester.

Next, when the waste textiles enter the shredder, the rotating cutterhead begins to work, and the blades come into contact with the textiles and cut them into small pieces or fibers. During this process, the speed and force of the shredder are precisely controlled to ensure that it can effectively shred textiles without damaging any valuable parts.

After shredding, the larger impurities, hardware, etc. in the shredded fabric are separated from the fabric through a sieve or airflow separation system. This step helps to ensure the quality of recycled textiles and also helps to protect the normal operation of subsequent processing equipment.

How to recycling textile

Collected waste textiles are first sorted and graded. Wearable textiles like clothes and shoes are usually baled and resold to mainly African countries, providing affordable clothes in decent condition for people we have such demand. Un-wearable textiles can be cut into usable cleaning rags, or shredded into small pieces of cloth which can be compressed for mattress production; these shredded textiles can also be mixed up with other selected fibers which can be further processed into new textile material through spinning, weaving or knitting. Shredded textiles can also be recycled into paper or developed into fuel. Textiles sent to the flocking industry are shredded to make filling material for car insulation, roofing felts, loudspeaker cones, panel linings and furniture padding.
Besides recycling and re-use purposes, textiles are also shredded for security reasons. Counterfeit Items, faulty merchandise, out-of-date stock, prototypes, overruns, etc. can be destroyed by textile shredders to protect intellectual property.

Textile Shredder Machine Components:

Pusher System Reinforced baseplate can reduce the impact caused by material entering the cutting chamber. A dust collection device is equipped at the bottom of the pusher system to guarantee the long-term stable performance of internal components.	Heat treated rotor knives Special DC53 steel (hardened) four edges use before the replacement
V-cutting rotor design with staggered cutter positioning	Wear Resistant Tungsten surface coating for abrasive applications
Electronic Control Simply press the buttons on the control panel to control every movement, and “auto mode” can be selected on the control panel for fully automatic operation	Screen Unit Wide range of screens with a variety of configurations and mesh sizes are replaceable based on customers’ production requirements. The paper shredder will automatically stop while opening the screen unit to ensure operator safety. The screen is produced and mounted in sections, allow for easy maintenance.
PLC control Making it easier for fault diagnosis and maintenance	Hydraulic Station The pressure and rate of flow can be adjusted according to different materials.
