SHREDDING OF PALLETS

Specific characteristics and challenges

Pallets and other packaging products like wooden crates have a limited lifespan because of the demands of transporting products from place to place. The metal fasteners used vary, depending on the weight of the goods being transported, and present a unique challenge when processing them at the end of their useful life. 

UNTHA Shredders are capable of safely liberating this steel during the shredding process and allow you to effectively separate them after they leave the shredding chamber with overband and head pulley magnets.  This allows you to use this ferrous separated clean material for premium aftermarket uses like low moisture fuel and agricultural or landscape markets.
