Franklin Miller introduces Taskmaster TM 1600 shredder

Franklin Miller Inc., Livingston, New Jersey, has introduced the Taskmasater TM 1600, a twin-shaft shredder suitable for a variety of applications, 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 up to 80 percent, according to the company, aiding in the safe disposal of sensitive and substandard material. 

The shredder employs two counter-rotating banks of cutters that intermesh at close clearance to chop and shear solids down to small particles, according to Franklin Miller. The unit’s low-speed, high-torque mechanism operates with little noise or vibration, the company adds.

The TM 1600 is designed for minimal maintenance, while a controller senses jam conditions and automatically reverses.

The Taskmaster 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 company notes.  The shredder can be supplied as a standalone unit or as part of a complete shredding and conveying system.
