RECYCLING OF MARITIME WASTE
Single-shaft Shredder for Fishing Nets and Ropes
Our industrial single-shaft shredder is specifically designed for the challenging task of recycling fishing nets, ropes, and other fibrous waste. Thanks to a unique anti-tangling rotor, material is efficiently reduced in size without getting stuck, which is essential for continuous and reliable processing. Convert problematic waste into a valuable, reusable raw material and increase your operational efficiency.

Advantages at a Glance
Prevent costly production stops with the anti-tangling design that eliminates material jams.
Process large volumes of fishing nets and ropes quickly and effectively, leading to higher throughput capacity.
The robust construction and smart design reduce wear and the need for frequent maintenance.
Key Features of the Fishing Net Shredder
The heart of this machine. The special V-shaped rotor and the unique positioning of the blades prevent long, fibrous materials such as nets and ropes from wrapping around the shaft, minimizing downtime.
The powerful, slow-running drive delivers a constant high torque, allowing the shredder to effortlessly cut through dense bundles of nylon, PP/PE nets, and thick ropes.
The PLC system detects overloading and automatically activates a reverse function to reposition the material. This protects the machine and ensures smooth, uninterrupted operation.
Built for the toughest conditions. The robust frame and high-quality components ensure a long service life and minimal wear, even when processing abrasive materials such as sand-contaminated nets.
Advanced drive technology not only provides high torque but also optimizes energy consumption, resulting in lower operating costs.
Designed with the user in mind. Easy access to the cutting chamber and replaceable blades make maintenance quick and safe. Equipped with emergency stops and safety sensors in compliance 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 to a suitable size for further processing is the crucial first step.
Large, compacted bales of fishing nets or loose ropes are loaded into the spacious feed hopper of the shredder via a conveyor belt or gripper.
The hydraulic ram presses the material against the slowly rotating, high-torque rotor. The specially designed blades grip the material and cut it effectively, without tangling.
The material is reduced to the desired particle size, determined by the replaceable sieve deck. The output is a uniform, loose material, perfect for the next step in the recycling process (washing, granulating).

Wide Application Opportunities
This shredder is the first step in the circular economy for marine and agricultural waste, and prepares materials for granulation and reuse.
Recycling of Fishing Nets
Reduces various types of fishing nets (trawl nets, gillnets, etc.) made from materials such as nylon, HDPE, and PP to a manageable size for further processing.
Processing of Rope and Ropes
Slices effortlessly through thick, multi-strand ropes and ropes used in shipping, fishing, and offshore industries.
Agricultural Waste
Ideal for processing agricultural nets, shade cloths, baling presses, and other fibrous agricultural plastic waste.
Textile and Carpet Recycling
Processes large rolls of textile, carpet remnants, and other fibrous materials that conventional shredders can 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 convert one of the world's most problematic waste streams into a valuable raw material.
