The Moss ECO 2 is a hopper fed low speed - high torque rotor shredder that shreds paper to a size required by the hospital. The large hopper gives the hospital the ability to eliminate manpower and labor costs by allowing batch feeding via cart dumper, forklift or conveyor. The slow turning rotor eliminates the high noise and therefore enables the location of the machinery in areas convenient for waste disposal rather than locations that must protect for noise. Our shredder design utilizes a hydraulic ram to provide a controlled feed into the rotor. The ram’s feed rate and positioning are timed and controlled by sophisticated electronic controls that ‘read’ the amp load on the main motor and optimize the pressure applied to the cutting rotor. This optimization acts to keep material in constant contact with the rotor while not exerting excessive pressures that cause premature bearing failure. Additionally, our unique universal joint mounting of the hydraulic cylinders eliminates potential damaging lateral forces that occur during the feeding of a mixture of size and types of paper materials.

The rotor design is so unique that it is patented. Years of development have enabled our experienced supplier to develop the most efficient and effective rotor possible. The “V” Rotor (so called because of the V-grooves cut into the rotor) provides extremely tight tolerances on every inch of the rotor. Our 4-way indexable cutters are recessed into the crest of the “V’s”, limiting the protrusion of the cutter from the rotor and therefore minimizing the sudden ‘jolting’ impact of the material contacting the cutters. This type of impact causes wear to the system and fatigues the machine over a period of time.

A screen on the output side of the rotor controls shredded material size. Screens vary in size from ½” to 2”. The larger the screen size the less time involved in shredding the material and the greater the output.
