Double-Shaft Shredder for Expired Food Packaging & Tetra Pak Recycling
.
The Challenge: Effective Destruction of Liquid-Filled Composite Packaging
Recycling expired food products (milk, juices, sauces) presents a unique challenge: the machinery must shred the durable composite layers of Tetra Pak (paper, plastic, and aluminum) while simultaneously handling high volumes of liquid. For brand protection, complete destruction is required to ensure expired products never return to the market, all while preparing the materials for secondary recycling streams.

Our Solution: High-Torque Double-Shaft Shredding System
BritSOLIDS engineered a robust double-shaft shredder specifically designed for the aggressive destruction of organic waste and composite packaging:
BritSOLIDS engineered a robust double-shaft shredder specifically designed for the aggressive destruction of organic waste and composite packaging:
- Counter-Rotating Blade Technology: The system features two shafts with interlocking, high-strength blades. This design “grabs” bulky items like milk cartons and juice boxes, pulling them through the cutters for a guaranteed first-pass destruction.
- High-Torque, Low-Speed Operation: Unlike high-speed grinders, our double-shaft technology operates at lower speeds with massive torque. This prevents splashing, reduces noise, and allows the machine to process liquid-heavy loads without stalling.
- Corrosion-Resistant Engineering: Given the acidic nature of food products (tomato sauce, citrus juices), the shredding chamber and blades are designed to withstand corrosive environments for long-term operational life.
- Efficient Volume Reduction: By shredding the packaging, the unit reduces waste volume significantly, allowing for easier liquid drainage and more efficient transport of the remaining solids to recovery facilities.
