Dual Shaft Shredder for Sale Selection Step 1
Before you pick any double shaft crusher, check your material type and volume first. This saves you from costly mistakes.
① Material type to shred – Is it soft material (rubber, fiber, paper, PET bottles)? Or hard material (wood, electronic waste, circuit boards, metal, plastic drums)? Different materials need different blade materials and knife sizes.
② Processing capacity required – How many tons per hour do you need? Capacity ranges from 0.3 T/H (YG-600) to 20 T/H (YG-2000). Match capacity to your daily processing volume.
③ Material size and shape – Large lump materials, pipes, bales, or tires need larger feed inlets and more powerful motors.
④ Output size requirement – Do you need coarse shredding for direct recycling or fine shredding for further processing? Blade size and knife configuration determine output size.

Find The Right Solution For Your Job
Common Buying Mistakes Overseas Buyers Always Make
Mistake 1: Choose the wrong blade material for your material type
Using 9CrSi on hardwood or metal causes blade chipping. Using SKD-11 on soft rubber wastes money. Correct approach: Tell your supplier your material type and let them recommend the right blade alloy.
Mistake 2: Ignore capacity vs. actual daily volume
Buying a twin shaft shredder machine with too low capacity causes backlog. Too high capacity wastes investment. Correct approach: Calculate your daily processing volume and add a 20% margin.
Mistake 3: Neglecting blade and wear parts supply
Blades wear out depending on material. Rubber tires: 3-4 years. Hard materials: much shorter. In overseas markets, replacement parts take weeks. Correct approach: Order spare blade sets with your initial purchase.
Mistake 4: Ignore machine footprint and workshop space
Machine size ranges from 2.6×1×2.1m (YG-600) to 6×2.2×3.5m (YG-2000). Correct approach: Measure your space and access routes before ordering.
Mistake 5: Forget about power source compatibility
A standard twin-shaft shredder machine uses electric motors. Some remote sites need diesel power. Correct approach: Tell your supplier if you need a diesel-powered option.
