Shredder Hammers

Shengao shredder hammers are crafted from premium wear-resistant materials to ensure maximum durability and performance in heavy-duty metal recycling and size reduction applications:

• High Manganese Steel (Mn13Cr2, Mn18Cr2, Mn22Cr2): Ideal for high-impact applications with excellent work-hardening properties (up to 550 HB after impact), providing superior impact resistance and toughness for processing scrap metal, automobile bodies, and industrial waste.
• Tungsten Carbide-Tipped Options: Superior wear resistance for processing highly abrasive materials like e-waste, tires, and composite materials, offering 2.5-3 times longer service life compared to standard manganese hammers.
• Alloy Steels (30CrNiMo, 45CrNiMo): Provide exceptional hardness (HRC 52-62) and wear resistance with good impact toughness, ideal for various metal shredding applications including ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Specialized Coatings (TiN, TiCN, TiAlN): Reduce friction, prevent material adhesion, resist corrosion, and extend operational life in abrasive environments and high-temperature shredding operations.

Each material undergoes specialized vacuum heat treatment, triple tempering, and cryogenic processing to achieve optimal hardness while maintaining exceptional toughness and impact resistance.

Selecting the appropriate shredder hammer depends on several critical factors specific to your shredding operations:

1. Material Type: Different materials (ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, e-waste, tires, wood) require specific hammer compositions and designs for optimal performance and longevity.
2. Shredder Type & Size: Consider your shredder model (single-shaft, double-shaft, hammer mill) and rotor specifications to ensure proper hammer fitment and balanced operation.
3. Production Capacity: High-volume operations require hammers with enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability to maintain efficiency and reduce downtime.
4. Hardness Requirements: Select appropriate hardness levels (HRC 35-62) based on material abrasiveness and impact demands, balancing wear resistance with toughness to prevent breakage.
5. Cost Efficiency: Evaluate total cost of ownership, including initial price, expected service life, and maintenance requirements, to determine the most economical solution for your operation.

Our technical team provides customized recommendations based on your specific material characteristics, machine specifications, and production requirements to ensure optimal shredding performance.

Proper maintenance extends shredder hammer life and ensures optimal performance in heavy-duty shredding applications:

• Regular Cleaning: Remove residual material after each shift to prevent buildup and corrosion that can compromise hammer performance and rotor balance.
• Periodic Sharpening & Rebuilding: Maintain cutting edges and profiles through professional sharpening services; some hammer designs can be rebuilt multiple times to extend service life.
• Proper Storage: Store hammers in dry environment with protective coating to prevent rust and damage when not in use.
• Rotation Strategy: Rotate hammers in multi-hammer systems to ensure even wear and consistent performance across the rotor assembly.
• Damage Inspection: Regularly check for chips, cracks, or excessive wear that requires replacement to prevent damage to other shredder components.
• Balancing: Ensure proper rotor balance when replacing hammers to prevent vibration and premature wear on bearings and other drive components.

Shengao offers professional hammer maintenance services and provides detailed maintenance protocols with every purchase to maximize your operational efficiency.
