How to Reduce Power Consumption in Industrial Shredders – A DesignWithAjay Case Study
At Ajay Industries, we design shredders that don’t just destroy—they do so with precision, efficiency, and minimal energy waste. In high-load environments, industrial shredders often consume more power than necessary due to poor blade geometry, inefficient motor pairing, or friction-heavy assemblies. This case study reveals how DesignWithAjay reduced power consumption in a twin-shaft shredder by over 30%—without compromising throughput or cutting performance. Why Power Optimization Matters Reducing power consumption leads to: DesignWithAjay’s Power Reduction Strategy 1. Blade Geometry Optimization Ajay Tip: Blade geometry was iteratively refined using SolidWorks Simulation and field feedback from mixed plastic and rubber shredding. 2. Motor and Gearbox Matching Ajay Tip: Our CAD models include embedded torque calculators linked to blade RPM and material resistance. 3. Reduced Rotational Inertia Ajay…
