Recyclers and scrap processors live on throughput and recovery. Allegheny Shredders builds the high-throughput industrial shredders and recycling lines that break down end-of-life material all shift — and keep running — so more feedstock moves through and more clean material comes out the other side.
On a recovery line, every stoppage is lost tonnage. The economics come down to three things: how much you can push through, how clean and separable the output is, and what it costs to keep running. We build for all three.
High-throughput paper and Particle Cut lines for bulk material, core shredders for cores and plastics, and hard-drive lines for drives at volume.
Many of our recyclers work to R2v3 or e-Stewards. Those certify your facility, not our equipment — so we focus on what the machine controls: destroying media to a defined particle and sizing output for your downstream and documentation. We're an i-SIGMA Corporate Partner with Made-in-USA machines, and we build to recognized destruction standards on request.
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.
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.
The international standard that grades shred size into security levels, separately for each type of material.
On a recovery line, downtime is the cost that matters. Wear parts, service and support come direct from the manufacturer — so you can keep material moving and cost per ton down.
Service & parts →Paper, cardboard and plastics at volume, cores and bottles on the core shredders, and e-scrap (e-waste), including hard drives and SSDs, on the Particle Cut line, which also takes mixed bulk material.
Yes — the paper and Particle Cut lines shred cardboard and packaging at volume, and the core shredders take cardboard cores and tubes; we size the output for baling or recycling.
Yes — cutter and screen choices set the finished particle so it suits your separation and resale. Tell us the downstream and we'll configure to it.
Yes — continuous-duty machines up to 200 HP on the 36-Series, built heavy, with wear parts and service direct from the plant.
Yes — infeed and output conveyors, 880/HLS tippers, auto-feed and balers are engineered to match the line. See the "Pairs with" options on each machine page.
Tell us your material, volume and downstream and we'll size the line — or see how we handle high-throughput destruction.
