Wood & Pallets – Reduce bulky wood waste, shipping pallets, and crates into manageable pieces for disposal or recycling.
Steel Drums & Containers – Safely process empty or residual drums, metal containers, and bulk packaging.
Municipal & Industrial Waste – Handle bulky solid waste streams, mixed materials, and difficult refuse that traditional equipment struggles with.
E-Waste & Electronics – Shred outdated computers, printers, hard drives, and other electronics for secure destruction and recycling.
Plastics & Molded Parts – Break down sprues, rejects, and off-spec products into reprocessable material.
Tires & Rubber – Process car and truck tires (up to 22.5 size), rubber mats, and other elastomers for recycling or disposal.
Hazardous & Specialty Materials – Reduce challenging feedstocks such as construction debris, mattresses, or select hazardous materials with safe, controlled shredding.
Construction Debris – Efficiently shreds heavy and irregular materials such as concrete, brick, gypsum board, and untreated wood from demolition or renovation sites; ideal for reducing volume and simplifying downstream recycling or disposal.
Furniture – Handles bulky wooden and upholstered items—chairs, tables, couches, office cubicles—breaking them down into manageable components for reuse or disposal without needing disassembly.
Appliances – Processes domestic appliances and safely reduces metals and plastics, aiding in easier transportation and recovery of recyclable materials.

Whether for waste-to-energy facilities, recycling operations, manufacturing plants, or secure destruction services, the TM4000 delivers consistent size reduction, volume control, and dependable performance across industries.
