Industrial plastic shredders

Reduce plastic product, packaging, containers and production purgings to a consistent particle — sized for recycling, resale or secure product destruction. The Particle Cut line takes mixed plastic in bulk; core shredders handle bottles and hollow containers.

Built for plastic in bulk


Particle Cut for mixed plastic at volume, core shredders for bottles and containers, and the paper lines for film and sheet.

Tell us the plastic type, form and volume and we'll set the cutter and screen for the output you need.

Destruction standards


We build to recognized standards including NIST SP 800-88 and DIN 66399. Tell us the standard and level you work to and we'll confirm the configuration.

NIST SP 800-88

The US guidelines for media sanitization. They set out three methods: Clear, Purge and Destroy. Shredding is a Destroy method, the highest of the three.

DIN 66399

The international standard that grades shred size into security levels, separately for each type of material.

  • P · paper, film and printing forms
  • O · optical media — CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray
  • T · magnetic media — data tape, floppy disks, ID cards
  • H · hard drives
  • E · electronic media — SSDs, USB sticks, memory cards

Common questions


What plastics can you shred?

Product, packaging, bottles, containers, film, sheet and production purgings. Tell us the resin and form and we'll confirm the configuration.
