A Shredder consists of a shredding chamber which contains two counter-rotating hexagonal shafts fitted with circulars blades of predetermined thickness which may have one or more hooks depending on the material to be shredded. The material is fed through a hopper placed above the shredding chamber. The rotating blades with the hooks placed on their circumference take the material towards the centre of the shredding chamber and as the material passes through the blades it is shredded and falls by gravity underneath the shredder. These machines are suitable to handle materials for reclaiming purposes or when wastes and scraps have to be destroyed.
A shredder is a machine that tears objects into smaller pieces. The most common types are paper shredders and garden waste shredders. A garbage disposal also employs such a device.
