Manufacturer Lefort has announced the latest addition to its product family, a horizontal multi product 800 shredder.

The shredder is designed to mill scrap metal before sorting and recycling, and this type of machine has become an indispensable tool in the scrap metal recycling chain.

Lefort has built machines in Belgium for almost 70 years, and signed a marketing agreement with Caterpillar for hydraulic shears and balers at the end of 2015.

Its shredders come with a rotor equipped with hammers for crushing various products. The extensively tested configuration of the motor, directly connected to the rotor shaft via a hydraulic coupler, and the interchangeable hammer system in high-strength steel ensure exceptional output capacity standards and vastly reduced maintenance time.

The low motor rotation speed ensures high torque to handle the toughest materials.

The dust extraction units, vibrating tables and the waste sorting selection system are also tailored to customer needs.
