As a tough, low-speed shredder the Terminator can be used on almost all types of solid waste. The hydraulic drum drive with load-dependent speed control develops the highest shredding forces. Stepless cutting gap adjustment allows sizing of the output for its intended purpose.
The Terminator is able to shred the most difficult materials. Everything is shred to the desired particles size. Applications with drum/opposing comb system variants range from coarse pre-crushing to defined shredding.
The hydraulic drive provides the highest shredding power and prevents jamming and blockages – clearing by reversing is possible at all times. Overload protection prevents unshreddable contraries from ruining the tool elements.
The continuous cutting gap adjustment allows tailoring of the produced particle size to subsequent usage. Completely swivelling of the counter comb provides perfect accessibility for maintenance of the shredding area.
Load material into the big hopper – the machine does the rest. Hydraulic folding hopper sidewalls make the already generous shredding chamber even bigger, for a loading volume of up to seven cubic metres.
The new operating console with its big colour display makes it easy for new users to work with the machine, and gives pros many ways to optimize operation. Functions and operating status are shown with symbols and colour coding.
With an optimally designed engine compartment, all maintenance can now be performed from outside the machine. Easily opened doors give access and fold-out platforms provide safe footing.
