Municipal waste is solid waste from daily life — recyclable, kitchen, harmful and other fractions. TIMO builds primary shredders, two-shaft and four-shaft industrial shredders, and RDF shredders for MSW: 0.3–50 t/hr and 10–300 mm final size. Cutters and surface treatment are matched to the material for wear life and throughput.

Two-shaft shredders are valued for stable performance and low maintenance. Four-shaft machines include an integrated sizing screen that keeps material in the chamber until it reaches the target size, so flakes are uniform. Double-motor two-shaft units are available where extra torque is needed.

Process flow

  1. 1Feed municipal / domestic waste into the primary shredder
  2. 2Reduce to uniform pieces — 10–300 mm depending on the line
  3. 3Optional magnetic separation, RDF preparation or baling
