Metso M&J K-series pre-shredders

Metso has expanded its waste recycling product range with the launch of its M&J K-series pre-shredders. The M&J K160 and M&J K210 models for stationary and mobile plants are based on a powerful drive system, patented knife design and an open cutting table. These features allow for continuous use at a high run rate even with hard and abrasive materials.

The pre-shredders can handle a wide range of different materials, delivering a stable and homogenous output suitable for refuse-derived fuel production. Customers can achieve a throughput of up to 28 tons/h. The multi-edged shaft is fitted with a patented knife system and smart engineering to reduce operating costs.

Features include: bidirectional shredding system (both synchronous and asynchronous) with two shafts; knife design reduces the risk of wrapping on the shafts, resulting in less bridging and fewer cleaning stops; modularity ensures that only relevant components need to be maintained; open cutting table design means operators do not need to pre-sort waste being loaded into the shredder; and robust construction with easy access for maintenance.
