The 30-Series is a high-capacity workhorse of the paper line — a 30″ (762 mm) cutting chamber at 75 or 100 HP, in strip-cut, cross-cut or particle-cut. Pick the cut and the output you need; we'll size the line around it.


| Model | Materials | Cut | Piece size | HP | Capacity | Discharge | Optional configurations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30-500C | Paper · cardboard | Strip-cut | 5/8″ (15.9 mm) | 75 / 100 HP | 3–4 tons/hr (2.7–3.6 t/hr)* | External | Output conveyor · HLS-Tipper |
| 30-500CX | Paper · cardboard | Cross-cut | 1/2″ × 2″ (12.7 × 50.8 mm), or 5/16″ × 1-1/2″ (7.9 × 38.1 mm) / 5/16″ × 2-3/4″ (7.9 × 69.9 mm) | 75 / 100 HP | 1.5–2.5 tons/hr (1.4–2.3 t/hr)* | External | Output conveyor · HLS-Tipper |
| 30-500PC | Paper · cardboard · plastic · e-scrap (HDD/SSD) | Particle-cut | 1/2″ × variable (12.7 mm × variable) | 75 / 100 HP | On request | External | Output conveyor · Infeed conveyor · HLS-Tipper |
Standard cutter sizes shown — the approximate finished piece. * With an Allegheny Shredder Auto-Feed System. Full specifications for the 30-500C and 30-500CX are below; particle-cut capacity, dimensions and weight are available on request.
Also destroys e-scrap. The 30-500PC particle-cut configuration also shreds hard drives and SSDs in bulk — see the Particle Cut line.
