The Science of Feed Rate Control in Shredders – A DesignWithAjay Case Study
Why Feed Rate Control Is the Hidden Hero of Shredder Performance At DesignWithAjay, we believe that feed rate control is not just a throughput metric — it’s the heartbeat of shredder efficiency. It governs: Yet most designs treat it as a reactive control loop. We treat it as a predictive design element. Ajay’s Feed Rate Control Philosophy: “Flow Before Force” Rather than overpowering material resistance, DesignWithAjay designs shredders to flow with the material, using intelligent feed rate modulation to: Case Study: Designing the DW-AJX120 Industrial Shredder Let’s walk through how DesignWithAjay engineered feed rate control for the DW-AJX120, a high-throughput industrial shredder used for mixed polymer waste.
