EZ Shred 8 Industrial Wood Waste Shredder
The EZ Shred 8 Industrial Wood Waste Shredder is designed for businesses generating regular volumes of timber offcuts and wood waste that need to be processed efficiently at the source.
Sitting between the EZ Shred 6 and EZ Shred 10, the EZ 8 combines an 18.5 kW drive with a larger 0.9 m³ hopper and 800 mm rotor. It provides an approximate throughput of 2–4 m³/hr or 8–10 m³/day of loose wood offcuts.
This makes it well suited to joineries, cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers and other wood processing operations requiring greater capacity than the compact EZ 6.
Reduce Wood Waste Volume
Loose timber offcuts can quickly take up valuable workshop space and increase the volume of material requiring storage, handling and disposal.
The EZ Shred 8 processes bulky wood offcuts into smaller, more manageable material, helping reduce waste volume and simplify downstream handling.
Across the EZ Series, shredding can reduce waste volume by up to 70%, depending on the material and application.
V-Rotor Shredding Technology
The EZ Series uses an aggressive V-rotor design developed to provide effective material intake, high throughput and reduced knife wear.
Large, slow-moving rotors work with hardened, replaceable cutting knives to process wood waste reliably in demanding industrial environments.
The EZ Shred 8 features a 250 mm diameter rotor with an 800 mm rotor length, providing additional processing capacity compared with the smaller EZ Shred 6.
Designed for Wood Processing Operations
The EZ Shred 8 provides a practical middle ground for businesses that have outgrown a smaller shredder but don’t require the capacity of the larger EZ Shred 10 or heavy-duty EZ Shred 13.
The shredded material can be easier to store, transport and handle as part of the facility’s wider waste management or resource recovery process.
Airtight Solutions can also integrate shredders with dust extraction, material handling, briquetting and other waste reduction equipment to create a broader system around the requirements of the site.
