The shredding

Shredders are used exclusively for the comminution of elastic and/or plastic materials which, in principle, cannot be processed in conventional crushers or grinders. They achieve this using shearing, torsion, flexion and friction.

They can be used on large-sized items (refrigerators, metal or plastic barrels, tyres, etc.) and are capable of bringing the size of elements down to a few millimetres through granulation.

CTP has the following equipment:
