Innovative (Green Energy Efficient) Dual Shredding Plant
AXO Shredders Dual shredding plant is an innovative and cost effective solution for high security document shredding. Utilizing our pioneering Workmate Shredder design and advanced electric motor control the dual shredding application reduces power demand and operating costs whilst delivering high performance and reliability.
AXO has combined our ever reliable Workmate 608-16 and Workmate 408-08 Electric Shredding machines for the dual shredding plant. Both shredders are controlled by AXO's Smoothshred advanced electric motor control technology. Smoothshred only draws the amount of power that is demanded by each shaft during the shredding process. The entire system is monitored via a PLC screen mounted in the control panel which supplies direct information on power usage and includes a help diagnostic screen to track ongoing maintenance schedules and records all the relevant operating data when the system is in operation.
The Dual Shredding plant can be designed to suit different feeding and collection applications. AXO's infeed conveyors can be custom made to suit each individual plant design and are easily coupled with a pneumatic collection system or via our premium baler range. AXO can also offer our unique reel feeding application whereby two types of shredding can be processed at one time. The hopper above the shredder not only incorporates our Anti Paper Bridging application but also can include a pinch roller to automatically infeed a paper reel into the shredder.
Whatever your requirements are, AXO can provide a one stop plant package.

Are all shredding machines the same?
Industrial electric motors are used in a great variety of applications, and across these applications there is a vast difference in the way the motors come under load. An industrial fan for instance loads up slowly as the speed increases, so the current drawn is very constant and predictable. An industrial slow speed shredding machine has a very unpredictable load pattern and it sometimes loads up slowly, but other times could become suddenly loaded or could even start fully loaded. This presents a particular challenge to motor control systems.

Cleardata captures the OnSite shredding market in South Africa.
For Gianmarco Lorenzi, owner of South Africa's successful OnSite shredding company, Cleardata, buying an AXO truck-mounted shredder was one of the best purchases he's ever made.
A former Auditor with accounting giant Deloitte, Gianmarco was working in Sydney when the idea for his business came to him. "I was standing at the photocopier one day looking at the locked shredding bins, when it occurred to me that this wasn't common practice back in South Africa. People usually just chucked it in the bin or the recycling box," says Gianmarco.
