In the previous article, we talked about the impact of shredder blades on shredder prices. Today, let’s talk about the impact of reducers on shredder prices.
The reason why shredders can shred various hard or thick materials is mainly because they have a strong bite force, which requires extremely strong torque.
The motor speed is constant and the torque is constant, so it is necessary to rely on the reducer to increase the torque of the shredder by reducing speed. There are many types of reducers on the market, and various brands are messy and good and bad. If you use a general reducer, the price may be low, but it is difficult for ordinary reducers to completely convert the power of large-sized motors and increase their torque. Some manufacturers even use small manufacturers to produce small reducers in order to reduce production costs. This kind of reducer may be okay in the general processing of low-hardness materials, but once it encounters high-hardness materials or is under high-intensity processing, it is very easy to have insufficient conversion power and grinding teeth.
If it is for high-hardness materials or high-intensity processing conditions that often occur, then Jinzuan Machinery will use a better hard-toothed reducer, because under the same model, the hard-toothed reducer has better power conversion performance and can match a larger power motor.
And because its gears are made of high-strength low-carbon alloy steel after carburizing and quenching, the tooth surface hardness is high. Even if a large piece of hard material occasionally enters the machine, it will not cause damage to the reducer.
But at the same time, the price of the hard-toothed reducer is also higher than that of the general reducer.
In summary, although it is the same model of shredder, it is normal to have a huge price difference because of the use of blades of different materials and different models of reducers.
For example, plastic shredders and metal shredders, the same 3063 model, with an output of 500KG/H, can differ in price by more than 50,000. The inferior shredder has unsatisfactory results in the later use, and it is expected to spend a lot of money to replace the reducer and blades.
Therefore, if you need to buy shredder equipment, it is recommended to investigate and understand more and select the most suitable manufacturer and equipment.
