The single shaft shredder (instead of dual shaft shredder \/ four shaft shredder) utilizes 1 rotating rotor and the hydraulic ram pusher together with the counter knives work fluidly on the basis of the screen controlled&#8212;this is the key for every recycling processes.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"ags-info-card\">\n                <span class=\"ags-card-decorator\">02<\/span>\n                <p class=\"ags-card-text\">In most plastic recycling lines, the single shaft shredder is positioned at the beginning of the process. Granular or bulky source materials such as post-consumer HDPE bottles, rigid PP crates, PVC pipe off-cuts or baled PE film are fed into the hopper. The machine first reduces the source waste to a size that can be fed through conveyors to other processing machines such as granulators or washing lines.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"ags-info-card\">\n                <span class=\"ags-card-decorator\">03<\/span>\n                <p class=\"ags-card-text\">KITECH AGS series is our general purpose single shaft shredder platform that starts from 840mm and ends at 1960mm wide cutting chamber. The AGS line was designed on the European concept: overdimensioned bearings, oil-cooled hydraulic package, bolt-in drive shafts to facilitate maintenance without reducing framework strength. All the AGS units are delivered with CE, UL and CSA certification. 5 models of 37 kW \u2013 150 kW are available, it is suitable for installations with output from few hundred Kg\/hr to multi-ton industrial throughputs.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns alignfull stk-block-columns stk-block stk-9649a23\" data-block-id=\"9649a23\"><style>.stk-9649a23 {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-9649a23-column alignfull\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-12d6b1c\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"12d6b1c\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-12d6b1c-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-12d6b1c-inner-blocks\">\n<style>\n\/* Scope Level 1: All rules prefixed with #ags-shredder-process *\/\n@import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;700;900&display=swap');\n\n#ags-shredder-process {\n    width: 100% !important;\n    padding: 40px 0 !important;

The feeding line can be hand or auto fed via a belt conveyor or via an automated tipper depending on line layout. The generous cutting chamber size (up to 1,960 mm wide) allows full bales, drums and long pipe sections to be fed without pre-cutting.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"ags-card\">\n                <span class=\"ags-step-number\">02<\/span>\n                <h4 class=\"ags-step-title\">Hydraulic Ram Push<\/h4>\n                <div class=\"ags-card-content\">\n                    <p class=\"ags-text\">Once material is in the chamber, the hydraulic ram pusher is activated. This bings the stock against the rotating rotor with constantly controlled force in proportion to the load. &#8216;The system&#8217;s intelligent hydraulics control both the ram speed and ramming pressures. The speed and pressure of the ram increase automatically&#8217; depending on the volume of film.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"ags-card\">\n                <span class=\"ags-step-number\">03<\/span>\n                <h4 class=\"ags-step-title\">Rotor Shearing<\/h4>\n                <div class=\"ags-card-content\">\n                    <p class=\"ags-text\">Spinning at 74 RPM, the rotor (a large diameter profiled solid steel cylinder) has rows of concave ground square knives. These top, cutting knives are engaged with the stator (counter) knives on the chamber walls as the rotor rotates. A scissor-like action applied to successive material pieces achieved the shearing for size reduction. The use of low rotor speed with large torque applied through the gearbox also avoided dust formation and increased frictional heat.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"ags-card\">\n                <span class=\"ags-step-number\">04<\/span>\n                <h4 class=\"ags-step-title\">Screen Sizing<\/h4>\n                <div class=\"ags-card-content\">\n                    <p class=\"ags-text\">Below the rotor sits a curved screen mesh with holes from 40mm to 100mm. Only shredder feedstock that is smaller than the aperture&#8217;s size passes through to the discharging conveyor. Larger particles stay in the cutting chamber to be shaved again by the rotor to achieve the required uniform granulometry. This closed loop ensures a constant granulometry regardless of the species or the shape of the feedstock.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"ags-process-footer\">\n            <p>From start to finish, the shearing process is controlled by a touch screen PLC control panel that follows the functions of the cutter, the waterjet, the hydraulic pressure and the rotor speed. If the system becomes jammed or if a metal is detected, the control will reverse the rotor to free the blockage, preventing damage to the machine and the operator. This precisely controlled process across all stages makes single shaft shredders especially reliable size reduction tools.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns alignfull stk-block-columns stk-block stk-4b77ffa\" data-block-id=\"4b77ffa\"><style>.stk-4b77ffa {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-4b77ffa-column alignfull\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-e30bcad\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"e30bcad\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-e30bcad-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-e30bcad-inner-blocks\">\n<section id=\"kitech-shredder-module\">\n  <style>\n    \/* 3.

The AGS series processes both post-consumer and post-industrial waste streams. Actual throughput rate depends on the density and geometry of the input stream, but the hydraulically powered ram and full range of screen sizes combined with the giant variety of waste materials the AGS series can process with the single platform.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-header\" onclick=\"toggleKitechFaq(this)\">\n          <h3 class=\"faq-question\">Is the output particle size adjustable?<\/h3>\n          <div class=\"faq-icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-content\">\n          <div class=\"faq-body\">\n            <p>Yes, all models within the series use interchangeable aperture screens for a 40mm up to 100mm aperture size. Changing screens alters the maximum size the outgoing particles, selecting a 40-60mm screen when interparticle size consistency is high is used with washing lines, granulators and pelletizers. A 80-100mm aperture screen is better for primary volume reduction and RDF energy recovery applications. Screen changes normally take less than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-header\" onclick=\"toggleKitechFaq(this)\">\n          <h3 class=\"faq-question\">Can a shredder handle thick or rigid plastics?<\/h3>\n          <div class=\"faq-icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-content\">\n          <div class=\"faq-body\">\n            <p>Yes, the AGS series is designed for thick-walled plastics and drums, great big long rectangular bales of plastics, PVC pipes with wall thickness in excess of 10mm, etc. The hydraulically powered ram providing the up to 150kW of force combined with the low RPM high torque rotor give guaranteed up to the task shearing of very dense, rigid plastics. For the most demanding rigid plastic processing streams, the AGS1600 with its OD 590mm and 110kW power is purpose-built. For truly extreme applications, consider the AGX heavy-duty series.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-header\" onclick=\"toggleKitechFaq(this)\">\n          <h3 class=\"faq-question\">What maintenance does a single shaft shredder need?<\/h3>\n          <div class=\"faq-icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-content\">\n          <div class=\"faq-body\">\n            <p>Routine maintenance includes:blade condition monitoring and orientation (4 way rotating knives provide 4 service cycles to allow 4 service cycles rather than 1; thus dramatically increasing lifespan), check screen condition for damage or wear, check hydraulic oil level and condition, check gearbox oil, and check pedestal bearings and top up as necessary. As the AGS has external knife adjustment, blade servicing and replacement takes 15 minutes without opening the cutting chamber. We advise daily visual check of blades, weekly check of hydraulic oil, and weekly check of blade condition following an appropriate schedule for your application and source material.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"faq-header\" onclick=\"toggleKitechFaq(this)\">\n          <h3 class=\"faq-question\">What certifications does KITECH hold?<\/h3>\n          <div class=\"faq-icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"faq-content\">\n          <div class=\"faq-body\">\n            <p>KITECH shredders are CE marked (EU Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC), UL approved and CSA certified.
