Kraken pre-shredders

The Kraken series guarantees high production standards when processing complex scrap. The shredding logic, combined with a solid mechanical structure, allows large loads to be handled without interruption. Thanks to its perfect integration with Panizzolo hammer mills – particularly the MEGA models – the Kraken series helps maximise the performance of the entire plant.

At the heart of the process and the result of advanced know-how, the in-house designed gear shafts are one of the distinguishing features of Kraken pre-shredders. Their configuration ensures precise and effective tearing, capable of reducing material in a single step, even when dealing with bulky or compact scrap.

Every construction detail is designed to successfully cope with even the most intensive applications: from the selection of certified framework to reinforced welds, and the use of components supplied by top Italian and Northern European companies. The design choices respond to a logic oriented towards the highest structural quality, which guarantees strength, durability and reliable long-term performance.

The Kraken series is designed to be operational quickly and facilitate maintenance. The quick release system of the shafts from the gearboxes allows for agile and targeted interventions, while the internally designed bearing supports protect the mechanical components from dirt and contamination, preserving the operational efficiency of the machinery.

The electrical panel and hydraulic power unit are located in dedicated containers, designed to facilitate transport, installation and start-up operations. A compact and functional solution that simplifies logistics management and optimises set-up time.
