Debaling and Initial Size Reduction

After debaling, the material passes through initial size reduction units to separation and selection operations. Most size reduction tasks can be performed by the following machines shredder, cutter or guillotine, screw shredder, and granulator. 

The screw shredder mentioned earlier as a machine for debaling is also used for the initial size reduction of plastic items, and in particular when these are very voluminous and not too tough. It is suited for very large items or bundles of material and has the advantage of being fitted with a very large feed hopper that can be filled by bucket loader or similar device.
