2-1 Models Covered in This Manual
This manual covers the 600+ Series shredder containing models: ALS, CLS, EBS, SLS and
MLS.
The 600+ Shredder is designed for processing injection and extrusion mold startup purge.
The shredder reduces material to approximately 1 to 4 inches (25 to 100 mm) when combined
with a granulator (stacked 2-stage or in-line with conveyors), and output material sizes can
range from 1/8 to 1/2 inches (3 to 13 mm). The shredder can average 150% of its stated
throughputs without heavy power consumption loads (typically seen when using a granulator
alone).
2-2 General Description & Typical Features
Grinding Material In-feed
The grinding material can be fed into the shredder using the following methods:
• Manual in-feed of the grinding material directly into the hopper.
• Manual in-feed of the grinding material with the help of an additional in-feed
device (i.e. hydraulic feeding unit).
• Automatic in-feed of the grinding material with an additional in-feed device (i.e.
conveyor belt).
In-feed Hopper
The grinding material in-feed moves through an in-feed hopper so the material is
delivered correctly and safely.
