Key advantages of this small metal shredder
- Shuliy compact metal shredder has a compact structure with overall dimensions of 1600 × 1000 × 1300 mm, which is suitable for small recycling centers, factory corners, and startup recycling projects with limited space. It doesn’t need a complex installation, significantly reducing installation costs.
- The commercial shredder is driven by an 11kW motor and a 400-type gearbox, with a shaft speed as low as 8-11 revolutions per minute, providing powerful torque while maintaining stable and continuous shredding operations.
- Our small metal shredder utilizes a dual-shaft shredding structure, providing powerful shearing, tearing, and crushing forces. Equipped with 13 rotating blades and 15 fixed blades, it can easily handle light metal profiles and mixed metal scrap.
- Due to the precise blade arrangement and controllable rotation speed, the finished material has a small and uniform particle size, making it ideal for secondary processing, metal sorting and separation, and allowing the downstream recycling to be more efficient and profitable.

Why invest in a small metal shredder?
For small recycling plants looking to enter or expand into the metal recycling market with controlled risk and cost, investing in a small metal shredder is a wise choice.
- Compared to large shredding lines, it has a lower initial investment cost.
- The compact shredder provides stable performance, low maintenance costs, and a rapid return on investment.
- Our machine is versatile and can be used with a variety of metal materials.
- It is easy to operate and maintain, making it suitable for small teams.
For small-scale recyclers, manufacturers, and scrap dealers, this machine provides an ideal balance of performance, cost, and scalability.

Wide scope applications of the compact metal shredding machine
In small and medium-sized scrap metal recycling plants, this type of small metal shredder is commonly used as primary or pre-shredding equipment. It shreds bulky scrap metal into smaller, more manageable pieces, improving sorting efficiency before magnetic separation or further crushing.
Metal processing workshops generate a large amount of scrap, trimmings, and defective parts during daily production. This shredder can help workshops shred metal waste on-site, reducing storage space and maintaining a cleaner and safer working environment.
At scrap metal collection and transfer stations, it is difficult to handle various sizes of waste. This shredder is widely used to reduce material volume before transportation, standardize scrap sizes for easier processing by downstream recycling plants, and improve loading efficiency and logistics management.
