HSS Small Shredder
HSS Small Shredder is a two-model series for solid plastic purge. Start with HSS-600 for thick, difficult-to-process lumps, and compare HSS-400 for a suitable smaller application.
HSS machine benefits
Long Blade Life
- 4 Usable Cutting Edges
- Rotate
- Reinstall
Lower Electricity Use
- Energy-Efficient Operation
Machine Protection
- Automatic Reverse
- Retry Protection
- Longer Service Life
Material testing confirms the setup for exceptionally hard blocks.

- Shredding on its own or before an HPC High Speed Crusher
Choose the HSS model
Assess HSS-600 for thick or difficult purge lumps. HSS-400 remains an option for suitable smaller lumps. Material behaviour, dimensions and production needs determine the choice.

| Model | Starting point | Preparation trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| HSS-600 | Thick or difficult-to-process purge lumps; assess the material, dimensions and production needs together. | Larger inlet and higher power than HSS-400; assess whether the material can be fed without pre-cutting. |
| HSS-400 | Suitable smaller purge lumps; low waste volume alone does not determine the model. | Larger pieces may need pre-cutting when the labour trade-off is economical. |
Application thickness examples: approximately 50–60 mm for HSS-600 and 20–30 mm for HSS-400. These are not feed-size limits; material behaviour and production needs also determine the model.
Specifications

|---|---|---|
| Feed inlet | 580 × 560 mm | 402 × 402 mm |
| Rotor width | 580 mm | 402 mm |
| Rotor diameter | 310 mm | 232 mm |
| Rotor speed | 60 r/min | 60 r/min |
| Motor power | 15 kW | 7.5 kW |
| Reference capacity | 250–400 kg/h | 200–300 kg/h |
| Rotary blades | 26 pieces | 26 pieces |
| Fixed blades | 2 pieces | 2 pieces |
| Machine weight | 1080 kg | 760 kg |
Reference capacity uses ordinary-strength, non-reinforced plastic from typical injection-molding applications. Reinforced or abrasive materials are outside this reference.
Inlet size describes the machine opening. Acceptable feed also depends on object shape and feeding conditions.

Dimensions show the machine body, not the feed inlet. Allow additional space for operation, maintenance, collection and connected equipment.
HSS cutting system and protection
Moving blades work against fixed blades to take repeated cuts through the purge lumps.


Four usable cutting edges
The photographed HSS moving blade is made from SKD11. Rotate and reinstall the blade to bring another cutting edge into service.
Optional screen
HSS comes without a screen as standard. We recommend whether to add one and which hole size to use based on your material, required output size and processing needs.
Three-Retry Protection
Automatic reverse, retry and stop protection helps limit damage when a hard block cannot be processed. Material suitability still needs assessment.
