Metal Chip Crushers and Shredders
Why Crush Your Turnings?
Bushy, stringy metal turnings such as those shown above must be crushed or shredded into smaller chips to satisfy three needs:
- Effective extraction and reclamation of cutting fluids from such material. The use of a chip wringer (centrifuge) requires feed particle size be no larger than about 3" (75mm)
- Briquetting of such material requires that feed particle size be no larger than about 3" (75mm).
- If metal turnings are being processed these should be crushed or shredded for ease of handling and bulk transport. Moreover, the price received for such scrap will be enhanced by offering a shoveling grade (sized) chip product to a scrap reclaimer.

Rolling Ring Type Metal Chip Crusher
The rolling ring high speed impact crusher (hammermill) is an excellent machine for medium and fine crushing of metal chips & turnings.
Multiple hammer rings held by rotating arms fixed to high speed rotor shaft crush (by impact) incoming metal turnings & metal chips against a manganese breaker plate and grate bars located in the bottom of the crushing chamber.
Product size is controlled by the selection of the grate bar opening The crusher has anti-jamming features rejecting solid objects.
