Dual-Shear® M55

SSI’s Dual-Shear® M55 is a low-speed, high-torque, two-shaft, rotary shear industrial shredder designed to efficiently process a variety of difficult materials.

Hoppers

Application specific feed
hoppers configured to maximize efficiency and thruput.

Drive Configurations

Electric, hydraulic, and SmartDrive™ options available to
meet requirements of the application.

Patented SSP

Severe Shock Protection [SSP] protects drive system in the event that the shaft stop.

Direct Drive

Simple and efficient drive with no belts to maintain.

Cleaning Fingers

Keeps shredded material from building between cutters.

Pierce-Point Cutters

Effectively pull material into the center of the cutting chamber and cut it into trips approximately the same width as the cutter.

Patented ACLS™

Advanced Cutter Locking System (ACLS) efficiently maintains a tight cutter stack, minimizes maintenance, and prolongs cutter life.

Seal & BEaring Protection

Advanced Cutter Locking System (ACLS) efficiently maintains a tight cutter stack, minimizes maintenance, and prolongs cutter life.

Details

Dual-Shear® M55 industrial shredders are versatile machines commonly employed in bulky item reduction, product destruction or pre-conditioning (primary shredding) where particle size variation is acceptable. Output consists of “strips” the width of the cutters - usually 25 - 76 mm (1 - 3 in). Dual-Shear® M55 industrial shredders are engineered with drive and cutter configurations specific to your production requirements.
