Industrial Drum Shredder for Fabric Recycling and Furniture Stuffing
.
The Challenge: Transforming Textile Scraps into High-Value Stuffing
A manufacturer in the bedding and furniture industry required a reliable way to repurpose textile offcuts from mattress and sofa production. Raw fabric scraps are difficult to process due to their fibrous nature; they require precision cutting into uniform small pieces to be used effectively as high-quality stuffing for pillows, cushions, and mattresses.

The Solution: Rotary Drum Grinder with Integrated Chain Feeding
We engineered a specialized Industrial Drum Shredder designed for high-volume textile reclamation:
We engineered a specialized Industrial Drum Shredder designed for high-volume textile reclamation:
- Automated Dosed Feeding: To prevent the cutting chamber from choking on bulk fabric, we integrated a Horizontal Chain Conveyor within the inlet hopper. This ensures a constant, metered feed of scraps into the rotor.
- Precision Rotary Grinding: The high-speed drum utilizes a rotary cutting action against a fixed screen. This setup ensures that fabric is shredded until it reaches the exact particle size required for soft-furniture filling.
- Multi-Material Versatility: The system is built to handle a variety of recycled materials, including synthetic blends, cotton, and foam-backed textiles, providing a versatile solution for circular manufacturing.

The Result: Sustainable, Low-Cost Stuffing Production
By converting production waste into usable filler, the plant significantly reduced disposal costs and raw material expenses. The automated feeding system allows for continuous operation, delivering a consistent, high-volume supply of shredded fabric for the mattress and sofa assembly lines.
