01Why the Shredder
The wastebecomes heat.
What otherwise costs money to get rid of becomes fuel. The Shredder makes residues burnable – and the boiler turns them into heat you don't have to buy.

01
Residues
Pallets, scrap wood and offcuts – what otherwise costs money to get rid of – become fuel for your own boiler.
Pallets · scrap wood · offcuts -
02
Your own forest
If you have your own forest, you shred wood that is not good enough for timber or pulp into your own wood chips – and burn them yourselves.

03
Slaughterhouse waste
The Shredder shreds slaughterhouse waste so it can be burned on site and become heat for the plant.

02How it runs
Load.Close.Start.
Shredding runs on a timer – while you get on with other things. The lid is opened and closed by an electric actuator, and the shredder shafts only run when it is closed.

KA1
Lid closed
Open the lid and load the hopper – pallets and recycled wood.
Runs only with the lid closed.
If the lid is opened during shredding, the shredder shafts stop and the process must be restarted.
- Safety switch
- Confirms the lid is closed before operation.
- Limit switch
- Stops the actuator when the lid is fully open.
- Remote control
- Wireless, for the lid. Available as an accessory.
- KA1 control
- Kross Automatik, with automatic and manual operating modes.
- Start code
- Before every shredding cycle. Status indication, A and B alarms.
- Protection
- Motor protection and emergency stop.
03Two widths
Standardor Wide.
The Shredder comes in two widths – with a shaft width of 1,200 or 2,400 mm. The wide version takes longer planks and longer material that could otherwise get stuck in the hopper.
The Shredder Wide
2,400×800mm
Inlet
Double the shaft width – for longer planks and longer material. The hopper has vertical short sides.

05The cycle
From residueto heat.
What would otherwise cost money to get rid of becomes fuel. The Shredder makes the residues burnable – and the boiler turns them into heat you no longer need to buy.
- 1
Residues
Wood offcuts, pallets and scrap. The Shredder also handles slaughterhouse waste.
- 2
The Shredder
Shreds the material automatically, for a set time.
- 3
Fuel
The boiler burns the shredded material.
- 4
Heat
For the farm or the property.
Money saved
Scrap becomes fuel instead of a cost – and you no longer have to buy the heat.
06Discharge
Choose where thematerial goes next.
01
Tractor bucket, 3 m³
The bin stands beneath the Shredder and collects the material for further handling.
02
Conveyor belt
A belt beneath the Shredder carries the material on automatically – for example to a wood chip store when shredding wood.
