TASKMASTER® Twin-shaft metal shredders are the industry standard for any scrap metal recycling operation. Our metal shredding equipment is built with the attention to detail, quality and longevity that has made Franklin Miller an industry leader since 1918.
These high-torque, low-speed shredders feature a unique cutter configuration that enables efficient operation. The TASKMASTER® Industrial Shredder design provides efficient operation with low noise, sparking, dust or heat rise.
The TASKMASTER® metal shredders are adept at handling a diverse range of applications. They can efficiently shred steel drums, whether they are empty or contain residual materials. Additionally, these shredders are capable of processing sheet metal, making them suitable for recycling or disposal operations. Metal scrap, a common byproduct in various industrial processes, is also within their capability. They can effectively deal with aluminum scrap as well, ensuring a comprehensive solution for metal recycling needs.
Furthermore, the TASKMASTER® shredders are robust enough to manage construction waste, which often contains a mix of heavy and bulky materials. Lastly, they are equipped to handle discarded electronic parts, such as hard drives and motherboards, making them a versatile tool in the disposal and recycling of electronic waste.
Many large industries are tasked with dealing how to best dispose of accumulated scrap metal waste. Companies most often choose to recycle their waste for further handling. Waste is often sorted and then shredded to the desired size. This can be done either at a recycling center, or in-house and then sent to a recycling center. Using heavy duty scrap metal shredders such as Franklin Miller TASKMASTER® Shredders allows the material to be transformed into small pieces, making the disposal process easier.
There are many benefits to shredding scrap metal such as recycling, increased ease in handling by saving space and requiring less manpower, increased efficiency for remelting, elimination of contaminates in the metals to increase the quality and value of the metal.
A wood pallet shredder is a specialized machine that breaks down wooden pallets into smaller pieces. It uses powerful blades and rotors to shred the wood quickly and effectively, making disposal or recycling of the pallets easier.
Wood pallet shredders assist businesses in managing waste more efficiently by reducing the size and volume of discarded pallets and lowering the cost of waste removal. The shredded wood can be repurposed as mulch, bedding, or even fuel, contributing to both waste management and sustainability.
Franklin Miller offers two models of wood pallet shredders, the TASKMASTER® XL and the TASKMASTER® TM3000. These machines are built to be durable and efficient, handling large volumes with ease, so businesses can choose a model that meets their specific needs.
Choosing the right shredder depends on how many pallets you need to process, the desired output size, and what you intend to do with the shredded material. Franklin Miller offers guidance to help businesses select a shredder that aligns with their needs and goals.
Routine maintenance for a wood pallet shredder typically involves inspecting the blades for wear, lubricating moving parts, and checking the machine for any signs of damage. Regular care keeps the shredder running smoothly and extends its lifespan. Franklin Miller’s service personnel are available to make field visits to assess the operation of your equipment. Equipment can also be sent back to our factory for a full evaluation and rebuild.
