Heavy-duty shredding power for the most demanding applications

  • For secure, high-volume destruction, Allegheny’s 1000-Series are more successful than any industrial shredder in the industry – from 3 tons up to 15 tons per hour!
  • For the most advanced shredding capability (up to 25 tons per hour) and highest level of security, the 1000-Series industrial shredder can be incorporated into an Allegheny Cross-Shredding System.
  • Ideal for contract paper shredding services, records storage centers, governmental archives, or retention centers requiring high-volume centralized paper shredding for several locations.

Optional Equipment

Allegheny offers optional equipment to provide easier disposal of your shredded materials and enable you to turn your waste paper into recycling dollars. We can even custom design a complete shredding system to maximize your shredder’s productivity and reduce your labor costs.

We’ll help you determine the most efficient way to collect materials for shredding, process materials through the shredder, and recycle shredded paper for a profit.

Allegheny will also help you design the physical layout of your system to make the most efficient use of available space and personnel. Using computer-aided design technology we can provide you with a detailed diagram showing the optimal layout of your shredding system within your facility.

Our technicians are available to install our complete shredding system and train your personnel to ensure safe, efficient operation and proper maintenance of your equipment.

  • Tippers
    Used with a loading cart, security container, or a Gaylord box, the Allegheny 880 or HLS Tipper offers an efficient way to load materials onto your shredder’s input conveyor. This increases the volume of throughput to be shredded and minimizes operator fatigue and strain.
  • Conveyors
    Sorting Conveyors allow the operators to separate materials by grade and type prior to shredding for maximum recycling profits. Primary Conveyors (in-floor or above-ground), Metering Conveyors (see Auto-Feed™ Systems below), and Output Conveyors allow easy transport of shredded materials into a baler, compactor, dumpster, or other receptacles.
  • Auto-Feed™ Systems
    This revolutionary system developed by Allegheny greatly increases your shredding capacity while dramatically reducing labor costs. These systems utilize a high capacity Primary Conveyor (in-floor or above-ground) coupled with a variable speed Metering Conveyor, assuring an even flow of paper into the shredder’s cutting assembly. This unique design virtually eliminates jams and minimizes operator fatigue and strain.
  • Horizontal Balers
    Allegheny manufactures a complete line of horizontal closed-end balers and auto-tie open-end balers to increase the efficiency of your shredding operations. Allegheny balers produce dense, superior quality bales that increase your recycling profits. Bale weights range from 800 lbs. up to 2000 lbs.
  • Consoles & Security Containers
    Allegheny provides a full selection of security containers and executive consoles to provide secure storage of documents prior to shredding.
