RECYCLING OF MARITIME WASTE

Single-shaft Shredder for Fishing Nets and Ropes

Our industrial single-shaft shredder is specially designed for the challenging task of recycling fishing nets, ropes, and other fibrous waste. Thanks to a unique anti-entanglement rotor, material is efficiently reduced without clogging, which is essential for continuous and reliable processing. Transform problematic waste into a valuable, reusable raw material and increase your operational efficiency.

Advantages at a Glance

Maximized Uptime

Avoid costly production stops thanks to the anti-entanglement design that eliminates material clogging.

High Efficiency

Process large volumes of fishing nets and ropes quickly and effectively, leading to higher throughput capacity.

Lower Maintenance Costs

The robust construction and smart design reduce wear and tear and the need for frequent maintenance.

Key Features of the Fishing Net Shredder

Anti-Entanglement Rotor

The core of this machine. The special V-shaped rotor and the unique placement of the knives prevent long, fibrous materials such as nets and ropes from wrapping around the shaft, minimizing downtime.

High-Torque Drive

The powerful, slow-rotating drive delivers a constant high torque, allowing the shredder to easily cut through dense bundles of nylon, PP/PE nets, and thick ropes.

Intelligent PLC Control

The PLC system detects overloads and automatically activates a reverse function to reposition the material. This protects the machine and ensures smooth, uninterrupted operation.

Robust Construction

Built for the toughest conditions. The robust frame and high-quality components guarantee a long service life and minimal wear, even when processing abrasive materials such as sand-contaminated nets.

Energy Efficiency

The advanced drive technology not only provides high torque but also optimal energy consumption, resulting in lower operational costs.

Safety & Maintenance

Designed with the user in mind. Easy access to the cutting chamber and replaceable knives make maintenance fast and safe. Equipped with emergency stops and safety sensors compliant with CE regulations.

The Process: From Net to Raw Material

Our shredder is the heart of an efficient recycling process. Reducing fishing nets and ropes is the critical first step to make them suitable for further processing.

1. Feed

Large, compressed bales of fishing nets or loose ropes are loaded into the shredder's spacious hopper via a conveyor belt or grapple.

2. Reduction

The hydraulic pusher presses the material against the slowly rotating, torque-capable rotor. The specially designed knives grip the material and cut it effectively without entanglement.

3. Output

The material is reduced to the desired fraction size, determined by the replaceable screen deck. The output is a uniform, loose material, perfect for the next step in the recycling process (washing, granulating).

*Capacity depends on the type of net (nylon, PP, PE), the degree of contamination, and the desired output size. Models are fully customizable to your specific requirements. Contact us for a tailored solution.

Wide Application Opportunities

This shredder is the first step in the circular economy for maritime and agricultural waste, preparing materials for granulation and reuse.

Recycling of Fishing Nets

Reduces various types of fishing nets (trawl nets, gillnets, etc.) made of materials like nylon, HDPE, and PP to a manageable size for further processing.

Processing of Rope and Ropes

Easily cuts through thick, multi-strand ropes and lines used in the maritime, fishing, and offshore industries.

Agricultural Waste

Ideal for processing agricultural nets, shade cloths, bale presses, and other fibrous agricultural plastic waste.

Textile and Carpet Recycling

Processes large rolls of fabric, carpet scraps, and other fibrous materials that conventional shredders clog.

Why Our Anti-Entanglement Shredder?

Standard shredders fail when processing fishing nets due to entanglement, leading to costly downtime and maintenance. Our machine is designed from the ground up with a specialized anti-entanglement rotor that eliminates this problem. By investing in this technology, you choose a reliable, efficient, and continuous solution specifically built to turn one of the world's most problematic waste streams into a valuable raw material.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What makes the anti-tangling rotor so effective?
The combination of a V-shaped rotor design, the specific angle and placement of the knives, and the proximity of the opposing knives ensures the material is cut rather than pulled. This prevents long fibers from wrapping around the shaft.
Can the machine handle sand, shells, and other debris in the nets?
Yes, the machine is robustly built. The knives are made of hardened D2 steel for high wear resistance. However, for maximum knife life, we recommend cleaning the nets where possible before processing.
What is the final size of the shredded material?
The output size is determined by the mesh size of the screen deck under the rotor chamber. We offer seven screens in various sizes (typically 40 mm – 100 mm) to meet your specific requirements for the next step.
