Waste Shredders: Efficiency and Safety in Material Management

Waste shredders are industrial machines designed to reduce the volume and size of both urban and industrial waste through a mechanical fragmentation process. They are used in a variety of sectors, including recycling centers, vehicle dismantling facilities, and companies specializing in waste management and recycling.

These machines play a key role in:

• Volume reduction

• Facilitating recycling and disposal

• Optimizing industrial processes

• Improving logistical and operational efficiency

Shredding in the Biohazard Sector

In the treatment of infectious waste, shredding is a crucial step. Breaking down the material before sterilization allows for:

• Faster processing times

• More effective sterilization

• Significant reduction of the final waste volume

However, standard shredders are often not designed for biologically sensitive applications. Even minor leaks of liquids or materials—considered normal in general use — can pose serious risks when handling infectious or organic waste.

The IPES Solution: PCLB 1300 SSBH

To address these critical needs, IPES has developed the PCLB 1300 SSBH shredder—an advanced machine with exclusive features designed to ensure maximum safety and reliability in biohazard environments:

• Modular structure: for easy integration and maintenance

• Double-wall containment system: any leaks are safely redirected within the hoppers, preventing external contamination

• Active shock compensation: ensures uninterrupted operation even with very hard or resistant materials

• Integrated self-disinfection system: maintains hygiene and reduces biological risks continuously
