Difference between double shaft shredder and crusher

In the industrial field, dual-shaft shredder and crusher both belong to the common crushing equipment, but they have some differences in the principle, scope of application and working methods. In this article, we will compare the twin-shaft shredder and crusher from several key aspects to help you understand the similarities and differences between them.

1, the principle and working mode

Twin-shaft shredder: Twin-shaft shredder through the two rotating knife shaft will tear and cut the material. There are many blades distributed on the knife shaft, when the knife shaft rotates, the material is torn into smaller pieces by the blades.

Crusher: crusher, on the other hand, crushes the material by impacting, smashing or crushing it through the high-speed rotating hammer head or the movable arm plate.

2, the scope of application

Twin-shaft shredder: Twin-shaft shredder is suitable for harder materials, such as waste household appliances, plastics, rubber, metal and so on. It can shred materials into relatively uniform small pieces, suitable for subsequent processing or recycling.

Crusher: The crusher is generally suitable for more fragile materials, such as ores, limestone, coal and so on. The crusher breaks the material into particles of different sizes by impacting, smashing or crushing for the preparation of building materials or other industrial uses.

3, crushing effect and energy consumption

Twin-shaft shredder: the crushing effect of the twin-shaft shredder is more uniform, suitable for fine crushing of materials. However, relatively speaking, double shaft shredder in energy consumption is higher, because it needs to tear and cut the material through the blade.

Crusher: The crushing effect of the crusher may be somewhat uneven, but the energy consumption is lower, because it mainly crushes the material by impact, smashing or crushing.

There are some differences between twin-shaft shredder and crusher in terms of principle, scope of application and working mode. Twin shaft shredder is suitable for harder materials, can tear the material into relatively uniform small pieces; while the crusher is suitable for more fragile materials, through the impact, smashing or crushing way to crush. In addition, the crushing effect of the twin-shaft shredder is more uniform, but the energy consumption is higher, while the crushing effect of the crusher may have a certain unevenness, but the energy consumption is lower.

By understanding the difference between twin-shaft shredder and crusher, we can choose the appropriate crushing equipment according to the specific nature of the material and processing requirements, in order to obtain better crushing effect and economy.
