Watch our TASKMASTER shredders process electronic waste and scrap materials.
Low-Speed, High-Torque Shredding Technology
TASKMASTER e-waste shredders use counter-rotating twin-shaft cutter stacks that grip and shear electronics efficiently at low speed. This design minimizes dusting, sparking, and heat — critical when processing lithium-battery-containing devices and sensitive electronic components.
Solids pass straight through the cutting chamber with a once-through shredding action, maximizing throughput without recirculating screens. The result is clean, efficient size reduction that keeps your recycling operation running continuously.

Secure Physical Data Destruction
Hard drives, servers, phones, and tablets contain sensitive data that must be destroyed beyond recovery. TASKMASTER shredders reduce storage media to small particles, providing thorough physical data destruction for organizations that require verifiable media disposal.
Our shredders process high volumes of data-bearing devices quickly, enabling ITAD companies, data centers, and government agencies to meet their internal data destruction policies and chain-of-custody requirements.

TASKMASTER Shredders for E-Waste Processing
The TASKMASTER TM2300 features 4″ hardened alloy hex shafts with 1″ cam cutters — ideal for circuit boards, hard drives, phones, and small electronic components. Available with conveyor feed systems and smart controls.
For higher volumes and larger items like servers, printers, and appliances, the TM3000 and TM4000 deliver heavier shafting and larger throat openings up to 40″ x 72″. Dual-stage systems available for primary and secondary fine shredding.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1What types of electronics can your shredders process?
TASKMASTER e-waste shredders handle hard drives, solid-state drives, circuit boards, motherboards, cell phones, laptops, servers, printers, copiers, electronic components, ink cartridges, and appliances. Our engineers configure cutters for your specific material mix.
2How secure is physical shredding for data destruction?
Physical shredding is widely regarded as the most thorough method of data destruction. TASKMASTER shredders reduce storage media to small particles, making data recovery virtually impossible. Many organizations choose physical destruction as part of their internal data security policies.
3Which model is right for my e-waste operation?
The TM2300 is ideal for hard drives, circuit boards, phones, and small electronics. The TM3000 handles higher volumes with heavier construction. The TM4000 is designed for the largest operations processing servers, printers, and bulky equipment. Contact our engineers to discuss your requirements.
4Can you provide multi-stage shredding systems?
Yes. Franklin Miller offers single and dual-stage shredding systems for e-waste processing. Primary shredders handle coarse size reduction, while secondary fine shredders achieve smaller output sizes for material recovery and sampling. Complete systems include conveyors and smart controls.
5What materials can be recovered from shredded e-waste?
Shredded e-waste enables downstream recovery of gold, silver, copper, aluminum, plastic, and glass. Franklin Miller shredders reduce electronics to processable sizes that feed into separation and refining equipment for maximum material recovery.
6How much does an industrial e-waste shredder cost?
Pricing depends on model, throughput capacity, and any custom engineering required. The TASKMASTER TM2300 starts at a lower price point for small-electronics processing, while the TM3000 and TM4000 are built for higher volumes and larger items. Contact us for a budgetary quote tailored to your application.
7What throughput can I expect from a TASKMASTER e-waste shredder?
Throughput varies by model and material. The TM2300 is designed for targeted hard-drive and small-electronics destruction, while the TM3000 and TM4000 handle higher volumes of mixed e-waste including servers, printers, and appliances. Our engineers will size the right system for your hourly or daily processing targets.
