Husmann shredders for waste recycling
Husmann shredders are industrial equipment designed for the reduction of bulky waste and demanding materials in recycling and waste treatment plants. Their various configurations allow them to process materials such as wood, biomass, industrial waste, and municipal solid waste.
Reverter Industries integrates Husmann shredding solutions into complete systems, selecting the equipment based on the type of waste, input size, processing capacity, and required final particle size.
The importance of crushers in waste management
Shredders are essential for companies dedicated to waste management, recycling, and other industries that need to reduce the size of materials before processing. The main advantages of shredders include:
- Volume reduction: By shredding large materials, handling and storage become easier, which reduces operational costs.
- Recycling preparation: Shredders break down large materials into smaller pieces that can be easily processed in recycling plants.
- Increased efficiency: Advanced shredding systems allow for continuous processing of materials, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
In short, having high-quality shredders not only improves process efficiency but also promotes more responsible waste management, encouraging recycling and sustainability.

Husmann HL I vs HL II comparison
The Husmann HL I and HL II models are designed for different shredding requirements. The main difference lies in their single- or double-shaft configuration and in the type of materials each machine is intended to process.
| Feature | Husmann HL I 1222 | Husmann HL II 1622 |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Single shaft | Double shaft |
| Feed opening | 1,750 × 1,560 mm | 1,750 × 1,560 mm |
| Engine | CAT C9.3 EURO V – 280 kW | CAT C13 EURO V – 370 kW |
| Approx. weight | 22,500 kg | 24,000 kg |
| Applications | Wood, industrial waste, plastics and light metals | Industrial waste, construction waste and more resistant bulky materials |
The choice between a Husmann HL I or HL II should be based on the input material, its dimensions, the required processing capacity and the desired output after shredding. Reverter Industries analyses these parameters to define the most suitable configuration for each installation.
How to choose a Husmann shredder
Choosing a Husmann shredder should start with the characteristics of the waste and the process in which the machine will be integrated. Before selecting a model, several factors should be analysed:
- Type of material: wood, biomass, industrial waste, municipal waste, plastics, metals or other materials.
- Input material size: dimensions and characteristics of the material entering the shredder.
- Processing capacity: volume of material that needs to be processed during operation.
- Required output size: level of size reduction needed for the next stages of the process.
- Shredding configuration: selection between single- and double-shaft machines depending on the material and application.
- Integration into the installation: feeding, discharge, separation and connection with the rest of the equipment in the line.
Reverter Industries analyses these parameters to select the most suitable shredder and configuration for each project, both for new installations and for existing treatment processes.
Integration of Husmann shredders into recycling plants
A shredder does not operate in isolation. Its performance also depends on how it is integrated with the feeding, conveying, separation and sorting systems within the installation.
Reverter Industries can integrate Husmann shredders into new or existing recycling plants, defining the line configuration according to the type of waste, processing capacity and the subsequent stages of the process.
The integration may include auxiliary equipment before and after shredding to ensure a continuous material flow and adapt the process to the treatment or recovery objectives of each installation.
