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 installations, selecting the equipment based on the type of waste, input size, processing capacity, and required final particle size.

Husmann crushers for industrial applications

Husmann shredders are designed for the size reduction of bulky materials and waste that require pre-processing before the next stages of treatment, sorting or recovery.

The range can handle different materials and process requirements. Its main applications include:

Wood and pruning waste, to reduce bulky materials and facilitate subsequent treatment or recovery.
Biomass, as part of preparation and size-reduction processes.
Industrial waste, including mixed materials and fractions that are difficult to handle.
Municipal and bulky waste, when size reduction is required before continuing the treatment process.
Plastics and light metals, depending on the model and equipment configuration.
Construction waste, for specific applications requiring equipment designed to handle more resistant materials.

Shredder selection mainly depends on the type and size of the input waste, the required processing capacity and the desired output size.

Reverter Industries integrates Husmann equipment into complete treatment lines. If you need to compare this technology with other solutions, you can consult our range of industrial shredders for recycling.

Within the Husmann range, the HL I and HL II models offer different configurations to suit different materials and shredding requirements.

A discharge conveyor belt, which improves material handling after processing.

Husmann HL II Applications

This model is specifically designed to handle tougher materials such as rubble, construction debris, and other bulky industrial waste. Its dual-shaft design allows for greater processing capacity, making it the ideal choice for businesses handling large quantities of difficult-to-shred materials.

Comparison Husmann HL I vs HL II

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.
