Livingston, New Jersey-based Franklin Miller has released the Taskmaster TM1600, a twin-shaft shredder designed to reduce a wide variety of tough solids, including containers, plastics, packaging, wood, paper, documents, electronic components, concession waste, rejects and returns, sewage screenings, in-channel raw sewage,and more. Bulk volume is reduced by up to 80 percent, significantly eliminating storage or disposal costs and aiding in the safe disposal of sensitive and substandard material, the company says.
The TM16000 employs two counter-rotating banks of cutters that intermesh at close clearance to aggressively chop and shear solids down to small particles. The unit’s low-speed, high-torque mechanism operates with little noise or vibration, according to Franklin Miller.
Franklin Miller says the TM1600 can be installed horizontally with a stand, hopper or flange adapter or vertically for pipeline and liquid channel installation. A space-saving right angle gear drive can be provided. The shredder can be supplied as a standalone unit or as part of a complete shredding and conveying system.
