Designed for industrial shredder operations in Australia, this machine suits large-scale sites that need reliable performance from their primary shredder.

A key advantage of the Hammel 850 shredder is its ability to process metal, including car bodies. This sets it apart from the smaller primary shredders in the range and allows it to operate as a mobile metal shredder, steel shredder, or Hammel car shredder in scrap yards and car wreckers. It can handle light mixed metal scrap, motor blocks, white goods, and tyres with ease, making it a practical option for operators looking for a car shredder for sale here in Australia or a versatile shredder machine that covers a wide range of waste products from organics to metal scrap.

The Hammel primary shredder uses a twin shaft, slow speed system to deliver high torque and consistent material flow. This design prevents wrapping of long fibre materials and maintains strong intake behaviour across various load types. With durable tools and customisable shafts, the shredder machine can be adapted to different materials and output requirements. Features such as remote-control operation, a hydraulically tilting hopper, transport capability, and quick setup support efficient day-to-day use and make it ideal for many industrial applications.

This industrial shredder processes a wide range of materials including waste wood, demolition wood, root stems, green waste, railway sleepers, pallets, cable drums, domestic and industrial waste, bulky waste, demolition waste, tyres, aluminium, paper, and paper rolls. It works effectively as a green waste shredder, industrial wood shredder machine, while also being capable of processing scrap metal. This flexibility supports a huge range of waste and recycling operations, including organic waste plants, car wreckers, scrap yards, domestic or industrial waste management and much more!
