Low Speed, High Torque Pallet Shredding

Low Speed, High Torque Pallet Shredding

The TASKMASTER XL uses counter rotating twin shaft cutter stacks operating at low speed with massive torque. This grips and shears entire pallets rather than impact cutting them, producing minimal dust, noise, and flying debris.

The design handles nails, screws, strapping, and mixed materials without damage to the cutters, eliminating the need to presort or disassemble pallets before processing.
