Harris Shredders

Internal Castings

Harris exclusive keyed round head bolts provide larger contact area with the castings for a better load distribution.

• An enlarged top grate increases the material throughput.
• Large front wall castings have longer life than traditional fabrications with bolted liners, without requiring continuous maintenance. Easy top feed installation. Secured by tie rods that strengthen the midsection rigidity.
• Rear wall castings are slightly offset from the path of the material. These replaceable back walls are tie-rod held for additional strength to the midsection and create a much longer work life than fabricated back walls, without the maintenance associated with them.
• The Harris Shredder’s unique sideliner design reduces throwaway weights with its weight reducing pockets that provide extra support around the liner bolts. Harris’ exclusive keyed round head bolts efficiently distribute the load around the circumference of the bolt head.
• Self-supporting bottom grates eliminate the center support maintenance and have longer wear lives.
• Oversized Reject Door allows a faster removal of unshreddables, with Harris’ exclusive outward movement. This eliminates continuous impact of the material while in operation.

Double Feed Roller Design

• Sturdy reinforced steel plate yoke.
• Exclusive 3-tube design for enhanced rigidity to torsion.
• “Quick Release” design allows the removal of the complete roller without components disassembly.
• Continuous large diameter torque tube pivot distributes loading along a larger area. Tube sits on large steel split pillow blocks with bronze bushings.
• Large mechanical locks allow safe work conditions during maintenance. The hydraulically actuated locks allow positioning from a remote safe location.
• Harris’ patented Teflon seals allow the best sealing capability in this heavy duty environment. Teflon seals permit the re-honing of the cylinder tube to non commercial sizes for extended service life.

Rotors

Harris offers OEM and replacement rotors for existing shredders, welded and non welded disc and 4-arm spider designs. Each disc, spider arm and spacer is shrink fitted and keyed to the shaft while the complete assembly is secured by tie-rods. Harris uses high strength steel alloy plate on all rotors. The end discs have replaceable caps for better wear resistance. Replaceable heavy-duty helmet cast steel caps protect the spider arms.
