The U.S. Shredder & Castings Group, Trussville, Ala., has introduced a new discharge grate for use in automobile shredders.
The grate, called the Double O-No Grow, is a heavy-duty, double grate with a round discharge area that remains uniform throughout its wear life, according to the company. The double grate has been proven to avoid “bowing,” especially in large shredders, U.S. Shredders says.
The circular discharge is designed to provide a larger discharge area. For example, converting a typical double grate from a standard rectangular design to a circular design increases the grate’s discharge area from 1,130 square inches to 1,526 square inches, a 35 percent increase, according to the company.
