Robust REUSER SD600 Shredder

Robust
A single-rotor hydraulic shredder built for workshops and recyclers that need consistent, screenable output from bulky or mixed wood waste — with minimal operator intervention once running.

Typically chosen by

  • Timber processors and pallet recyclers handling large or irregular wood waste that needs reducing to a defined particle size
  • Joinery and manufacturing workshops generating significant off-cut and reject volumes who need a robust, low-supervision shredding solution
  • Waste contractors and biomass fuel producers who need repeatable output granulation across varied wood feedstocks

Key specification considerations

Throughput
Up to ~4 m³/h
Actual throughput will vary with material density, moisture content, and screen size selected — treat this as a ceiling figure for planning purposes.
Motor Power
15 kW or 18.5 kW
Both options require a three-phase supply; confirm available amperage and whether your incoming supply can support the star/delta start sequence before ordering.
Output Granulation
10 mm – ~30 mm (screen dependent)
Screen hole size determines output particle size and directly affects throughput rate — smaller screens reduce capacity, so specify this based on your intended end use.
Machine Weight
~1,250 kg
Above 500 kg — floor loading capacity should be confirmed with your structural engineer or building surveyor before installation.
SpecificationValueNotes
Motor Power
15 kW or 18.5 kW
Both options require a three-phase supply; confirm available amperage and whether your incoming supply can support the star/delta start sequence before ordering.
Drive System
Electric motor with reduction gear and belt transmission
Motor Start Method
Star/delta (star/triangle) system
Star/delta starting reduces inrush current at start-up, which can be important if your site has supply capacity or tariff constraints around peak draw.
Control System
BOVER_BASIC intelligent control system
Handles automated cycle control and overload protection — if the rotor stalls under load, the system reverses and re-attempts, reducing the need for manual intervention during a jam.
Rotor Length
~550 mm
Rotor Diameter
~222 mm
Number of Cutting Knives
14 knives
Knife Design
Hardened, four cutting edges per knife
Four-edge knives can be indexed three times before replacement, which reduces consumable cost and downtime compared to single-edge designs.
Cleaning Knives
Hardened cleaning knives included
Counter-Knives / Cutting Racks
Hardened cutting racks included
Sieve Material
HARDOX wear-resistant steel
HARDOX is a recognised wear-plate specification — relevant if you are processing abrasive or contaminated wood waste where standard sieves would wear prematurely.
Screen / Hole Size
10 mm – ~30 mm (configuration dependent)
Screen size must be specified at order — discuss your end-use requirement (e.g. biomass chip spec, bedding material, or landfill diversion) with IWM before confirming.
Throughput
Up to ~4 m³/h
Actual throughput will vary with material density, moisture content, and screen size selected — treat this as a ceiling figure for planning purposes.
Feed / Hopper Opening
939 mm × 567 mm
Hopper opening determines the maximum cross-section of material you can feed in a single pass — oversized pieces will need pre-breaking before loading.
Hydraulic Feed Unit
Hydraulic pressure / pusher unit included
The hydraulic pusher forces material into the rotor zone, reducing the need for manual feeding and allowing the machine to handle bulky or springy waste more consistently.
Machine Dimensions (H × W × L)
~1,670 × 1,120 × 1,880 mm
Allow additional clearance on all sides for extraction ducting, infeed access, and maintenance — this footprint alone is not sufficient for installation planning.
Weight
~1,250 kg
Above 500 kg — floor loading capacity should be confirmed with your structural engineer or building surveyor before installation.
Noise Level
Not published — contact IWM
A confirmed noise level figure is needed to assess whether acoustic treatment or hearing protection zoning will be required in your facility; ask IWM for the test data when specifying.
Certifications / Compliance
Contact IWM for current documentation
Confirm CE marking and any relevant machinery directive compliance with IWM at point of order, particularly if the machine is being integrated into a wider extraction or handling system.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Robust REUSER SD600 Shredder if...

  • You are processing bulky, irregular or mixed wood waste at volumes that would overwhelm a smaller single-shaft machine, and need a robust hydraulic pusher to manage infeed consistently
  • Output particle size matters to your operation — for example, you are producing biomass chip to a specification, or separating material for reuse — and you need the flexibility of interchangeable screens
  • Knife longevity and reduced downtime are a priority: the four-edge knife design and HARDOX sieve are worth specifying when you are running the machine hard across shifts
  • You need a machine that can operate with minimal supervision and handle overload situations automatically via the BOVER_BASIC control system

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your volumes are lower or your waste stream is lighter and less variable — the Robust REUSER SD450 Wood Shredder is likely a better match and will cost less to run and maintain
  • You need a higher-capacity machine for a larger operation — the Robust REUSER SD700 Shredder steps up in throughput and should be discussed if you are regularly pushing the SD600 to its ceiling
  • You are processing smaller, more uniform offcuts rather than bulky or heterogeneous wood waste — the Robust SD90 or SD90 XL may be more appropriately sized and simpler to operate
  • Space is a significant constraint — at approximately 1,880 mm long and 1,250 kg, this machine requires a considered installation; confirm your floor loading and clearance requirements before ruling out a smaller model
