Quad® Q145

SSI’s Quad® Q145 is a low-speed, high-torque, four-shaft, rotary shear industrial shredder designed to process a variety of tough materials and produce a small, consistent particle size.

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.

Lower Bi-directional Cutters

Shred material when moving in either direction eliminating lost production during reversals.

Upper Pierce-Point Cutters

Effectively pull material into the center of the cutting chamber, recirculating material until it passes through the screen.

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.

Removable Screens

Easy removal and replacement allows user to quickly change output sizes and perform maintenance

Self Cleaning Design

Cutting chamber and screen are designed to clear materials from in between the cutters.

Details

Quad® Q145 shredders are known as multi-purpose shredders because they are designed to work like a two shaft shredder when the internal screen is removed, or as a sizing shredder that's able to shred, liberate and reduce a wide range of commingled materials without overly thick metals, in one pass. Four shafts in the Quad® Q145 shred and recirculate material within the machine until it is sized small enough to pass through a removable screen set immediately below the cutters.
