Robust

Robust manufactures a focused range of industrial shredders built to process timber offcuts, pallets, packaging waste, and similar bulky wood materials down to a manageable chip or fragment size. Their SD and REUSER series cover a useful spread of throughput capacities, from compact workshop shredders up to heavier-duty models capable of handling significant daily volumes. We stock Robust shredders because waste reduction is a genuine operational priority for most timber and joinery businesses, and this equipment does the job reliably.

Robust SD90 XL Shredder

  • Chosen By List:
    • List Item: Joinery and timber processing workshops that have outgrown smaller shredders and need a machine that keeps pace with production waste
    • List Item: Operations handling bulky or irregular offcuts that require a larger hopper and hydraulic feed control to process efficiently
    • List Item: Businesses looking to reduce waste haulage costs by shredding on-site to a consistent particle size for disposal or reuse
  • This Product List:
    • List Item: Your waste volume has grown beyond what the standard Robust SD90 can handle comfortably in a shift
    • List Item: You regularly feed bulky or long timber offcuts and need the larger hopper opening the XL provides
    • List Item: You want a machine with an intelligent control system that can self-manage rotor load rather than requiring constant operator attention
    • List Item: You anticipate future growth and want the option to add a pre-shredder (P150) or upgrade the control system without replacing the machine
  • Alternate List:
    • List Item: Your waste volumes are modest or intermittent — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=104&catid=30">Robust SD90</a> (standard) is the more proportionate choice and will cost less to run and maintain
    • List Item: You are processing very high volumes of mixed or large timber waste and need significantly greater throughput — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=102&catid=30">Robust REUSER SD450 or SD600</a> may be more appropriate at that scale
    • List Item: You need a machine for a research, training, or low-volume environment — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=99&catid=30">Robust Lab SD450</a> is specifically configured for lower-intensity use
    • List Item: Budget is the primary constraint and the XL specification exceeds what your current waste stream justifies — talk to us and we will help you right-size the machine
  • Key Specifications:
    • Specification Name: Throughput Capacity, Specification Value: 5–8 m³/h, Specification Notes: Output varies with material type and the sieve aperture selected — denser hardwoods or smaller sieve holes will sit toward the lower end of this range.
    • Specification Name: Motor Power, Specification Value: 18.5 / 22 / 30 kW (three options), Specification Notes: All motor options require a three-phase supply; confirm your site's available amperage with your electrician before specifying the motor size.
    • Specification Name: Hydraulic Feed System, Specification Value: Hydraulic pressure unit included, Specification Notes: The hydraulic feed unit controls material pressure against the cutting rotor, reducing jams and allowing the machine to self-regulate through denser or irregular loads.
    • Specification Name: Sieve Material, Specification Value: HARDOX wear-resistant steel, Specification Notes: HARDOX is a wear-resistant steel — a sieve made from it will outlast standard steel sieves significantly in abrasive wood waste applications.
  • Full Specifications:
    • Specification Name: Model, Specification Value: Robust SD90 XL
    • Specification Name: Control System, Specification Value: BOVER BASIC intelligent control system (BOVER PREMIUM available as upgrade), Specification Notes: The intelligent control system monitors load and can reverse or pause the rotor automatically — reducing operator intervention and protecting the drive components.
    • Specification Name: Drive System, Specification Value: Electric motor, reduction gear, and belt transmission
    • Specification Name: Motor Power, Specification Value: 18.5 / 22 / 30 kW (three options), Specification Notes: Motor size is selected at point of order; discuss your duty cycle and shift pattern with us to ensure the right motor for your application.
    • Specification Name: Electrical Supply, Specification Value: Three-phase (confirm site amperage with your electrician for the motor size specified), Specification Notes: Amperage requirement varies depending on which motor option is selected — verify your site supply is adequate before ordering.
    • Specification Name: Motor Start-Up, Specification Value: Star/triangle (star-delta) starting system, Specification Notes: Star-delta starting reduces the inrush current at start-up, which matters if your site has limited electrical capacity or you are running other machinery on the same supply.
    • Specification Name: Hydraulic Unit, Specification Value: Included
    • Specification Name: Hopper Opening, Specification Value: 2030 × 1565 mm, Specification Notes: The XL's hopper opening is approximately 585 mm wider than the standard SD90 (1445 × 1565 mm), which is the key practical difference for workshops feeding longer or bulkier timber pieces.
