How to choose the right material Shredder blade?

The blade, as the heart of the shredder, plays the most critical role in shredding materials.

So how to choose the right material for the shredder blade is not only important for shredding waste, but also plays a very important role in determining its life and cost.

Our common Shredder Blade materials are as follows:

1. 9CrSi: This alloy tool steel has high hardness and good wear resistance, but is brittle and suitable for soft waste materials such as Rubber, fiber, and paper.

2. Cr12MoV: It has strong wear resistance and impact resistance, and is suitable for shredding wood, waste furniture, plastic, metal, etc.

3. DC53: Suitable for shredding metal materials, with extremely high wear resistance and impact resistance.

4. 55SiCr: Suitable for shredding plastic film, with higher toughness, and not easy to deform during the shredding process.

5. SKD11: Suitable for shredding materials such as wood, with high hardness and corrosion resistance.

6. H13: It is more expensive, has high hardness and good wear resistance, and is suitable for shredding high-strength materials.

When choosing the material of the Shredder Blade, you need to consider several factors:

1. Consider the type of waste: Different waste materials require different blade materials. For example, to shred softer waste materials such as rubber fiber and paper, you can choose a 9CrSi blade, which has the characteristics of high hardness and good wear resistance, but is more brittle; while Cr12MoV and SKD-11 blades have strong wear resistance and impact resistance, and are suitable for shredding wood, waste furniture, hard plastics, metals and other waste materials.

2. Consider the output particle size: If a smaller output particle size is required, you can choose a blade with more teeth and dense teeth.

3. Consider the hardness and toughness of the blade: The blade needs to have enough hardness to resist wear, and also needs a certain toughness to prevent breakage. For example, the H13 blade has a higher hardness and is suitable for shredding some hard metals.

4. Consider wear resistance and impact resistance: During the operation of the shredder, the blade will be subject to greater impact and wear, so it is necessary to choose a material with good wear resistance and impact resistance.

Here are some ways to extend the life of the shredder blade:

1. Choose the right blade material: Choose a blade of the right material according to the material to be shredded, such as high-hardness, high-wear-resistant alloy steel.

Perform surface treatment: Titanium plating, surfacing and other treatments on the blade surface can increase its wear resistance and service life.

2. Regular maintenance and care: Check the wear of the blade regularly and repair or replace it in time. At the same time, keep the shredder Clean to avoid corrosion of the blade by residual materials.

3. Avoid overload operation: Operate according to the rated power of the shredder to avoid overloading to avoid damage to the blade.

4. Optimize the structure of the shredder: Rationally design the structure of the shredder to ensure that the blade is evenly stressed during operation and reduce local wear.
