Franklin Miller introduces the Taskmaster TM3042

Franklin Miller, Livingston, New Jersey, has introduced the Taskmaster^® TM3042 shredder, which is designed for the heaviest shredding applications, according to the company.

This twin-shaft shredder is suitable for a variety of shredding applications that require high power, a large throat opening and extra heavy-duty construction.

The TM3042 reduces a wide range of bulk solids, including pallets, steel drums, electronic components, solid propellants, hard drives, plastic, hazardous waste, wood, documents en masse, tires and more, up to 80 percent. The unit cuts storage and disposal costs, reduces scrap and helps in the safe disposal of hazardous or substandard waste, Franklin Miller says.

The TM3042 has a body constructed of heavy structural steel. Hardened and ground cutter disks and spacers ride on two heavy-duty parallel hex shafts. A planetary gear drive and a 75-horsepower motor delivers high torque at low speed, according to the manufacturer. The unit operates with little vibration, noise, dust or heat rise and is typically supplied with a stand, hopper and auto-reversing control system.
