Innovative drive solutions for shredders
The most important criteria for recycling machines (shredders) are high machine availability and high throughput with the lowest possible energy consumption. Baumüller has already implemented various drive solutions of single shaft and twin shaft shredders with or without feeding. As a specialist for electric drives with high performance, Baumüller offers high-torque electric drives that enable a reduction in the energy consumption of the shredders by up to 30 percent.
Consisting of both control and drive technology, the Baumüller system solution gives you our know-how in the area of recycling applications while at the same time providing an instantly usable and flexible solution for your machine. We support you with the engineering and will implement the drive, machine control and software for you, completely and entirely according to your wishes. Baumüller also offers optional long-term life cycle management for the shredder’s drive that is individually tailored to your needs and those of your customers. On request, we will also support you with the installation and commissioning of your system anywhere in the world.

With its components and services, Baumüller offers the largest scope of systems for shredder drives. As a drive and automation manufacturer, we have many years of experience in equipping shredders and, as a full-range supplier, we are at your side from the planning through to commissioning and service.
Advantages of high-torque motors and servo drive technology over conventional hydraulic and electric solutions
By eliminating the hydraulic drive, shredders with high-torque motors offer many advantages: The number of wearing parts is reduced, since susceptible components such as hydraulic hoses and the hydraulic motor are no longer necessary. The biggest advantage is the energy efficiency of the motor, which is very easy to regulate and control. In addition, the high-torque motor’s motor-based characteristics make it a very good match for the shredding process. In addition to the enormous amount of energy saved, the noise level is also reduced, which benefits all employees.

In order to provide the high power required for shredding processes, depending on the gear ratio, motors with very high maximum torques are needed. The Baumüller DST2 series high-torque motors are therefore predestined for this application. The motors can be perfectly adapted to the shredder’s requirements thanks to different shaft and flange options. Depending on the power requirements, the shredder shafts are each driven by one or two motors.
With the b maXX 5000 converter family, Baumüller offers suitable servo drives for high power classes. The servo drives impress with their compact installation dimensions and offer a broad and scalable selection of optional safety functions.
On the control level, Baumüller offers the b maXX PLC mc, a combination of industrial PC and classic PLC control unit.
Overall systems consisting of high-torque motors, servo drives, control unit and special visualization enable efficient and productive shredders for different areas of application
Everything from a single source: A complete package, tailored to your needs
Baumüller can also supply the right drive system for large shredding systems, such as car shredders. Thanks to the modular b maXX 5500 drive electronics, with the help of multiple-winding systems, even the large motors of the DST2 series can be used and combined to form multi-motor solutions.
Due to the modular use of components, this drive system kit enables us to realize a very wide range of shredders with minimum variance in the drive system. This very much simplifies the order process as well as warehousing/replacement part stocks for the customer.
The circular economy meets energy efficiency: 30 percent lower energy costs thanks to direct drive technology
Standard control cabinets through to completely wired special control cabinet
For many years, we have been implementing custom solutions for renowned machine and plant manufacturers - from the standard control cabinet through to the completely wired special control cabinet. You receive everything from us, a single source that can therefore deal optimally with your needs and wishes:
