Discharge Options

Customize this product for your application

The XL is available with a variety of optional discharge choices to fit your requirement.

Rear Discharge Conveyor

A cleated belt conveyor lifts the shredded pallets and discharges them into the customer’s dumpster. The unit has its own gearmotor, VFD and can be powered by a common switch from the XL main control. When full, the container can be swapped without disturbing the shredder. Casters are provided for easy removal and space saving when the unit is not in service.

Side-Discharge Conveyor

The side-discharge conveyor carries shredded material out through the side of the machine and lifts it to the discharge point. This configuration allows the TASKMASTER® XL to be positioned close to a wall. This conveyor can be easily removed for maintenance or storage. Like the rear-discharge conveyor, it features variable-speed operation and is started and stopped from the XL’s main control panel.

Metal Separation

Both XL conveyor configurations can be equipped with a magnetic separation system that automatically removes ferrous nails and other metal contaminants from the shredded wood.

Forklift Waste Hopper

With the XL’s gravity-discharge design, shredded material can be discharged directly into a special waste hopper. This hopper is designed for a standard forklift and features a latched, pivoting design for fast and convenient dumping.
