WASTE GRINDER
Grinders (specifically single-shaft rotary grinders (aka advanced shredders), offer the best of all worlds. They have a screened discharge, which makes them very much like a granulator in that the final particle size can be controlled and/or altered, and yet they have a large infeed hopper which allows them to process very large pieces of scrap. They can do the job of a paper shredder, only better - the particle size is controlled, plus there is the flexibility to process more than just paper - CDs, hard drives, full computers, bowling balls, etc - they are the true “dump-and-ruin” solution for waste processing.
