The Saturn shredder features twin counter-rotating shafts operating at slow speed and very high torque to reduce material by means of shearing and tearing. Slight shaft speed differential contributes to the cutting action while reducing particle sizing. The Saturn shredder is driven by a high displacement hydraulic motor, which in turn is powered by Saturn’s proprietary open loop hydraulic drive system. Automatic overload detection initiates cutter shaft reversal to eliminate damage to the shredder components.
