Pre-Shredder

Before material can be processed, it needs to be reduced. Hassell’s supplies pre-shredders built to handle bulky, awkward and mixed materials, breaking them down into manageable sizes ready for the next stage of processing. Robust enough for continuous heavy-duty use, our machines are a practical first step in any recycling or waste processing operation where throughput and reliability are what matter most. Browse our full range below.

Servicing and Support

The nature of pre-shredder work means components face significant and constant stress. Shredding blades degrade, hydraulic systems need attention and wear parts require replacing on a regular basis to maintain the throughput a busy operation depends on. Leaving any of these unchecked can slow a machine down gradually, often without an obvious single point of failure until the problem becomes harder to ignore. Hassell’s offers servicing and genuine parts support for the pre-shredders we supply, with engineers available nationwide for both planned maintenance visits and urgent breakdown assistance.

FAQs – Pre Shredders

Bulky, awkward and mixed material rarely suits the next stage of a processing line as it arrives. A pre shredder machine reduces it to manageable sizes first, so everything downstream runs more smoothly. That makes it the practical starting point for recycling and waste processing, where throughput and reliability decide how much you get through in a shift.

Pre-shredders are built for recycling and waste operations that need bulky or mixed material broken down before further processing, and that includes many scrap yards. Tell us what comes through your gates and we’ll confirm which model can take it on.

Four Guidetti models: the PMG 400, the PMG 600, the PMG 900 Hydraulic and the PMG 1200 Hydraulic. Contact us with your material and volumes and we’ll explain how they differ.

The PMG range is available through Hassell’s, and a demonstration day lets you get hands-on with our latest equipment before you commit.

If you’d rather spread the cost, our finance options include hire purchase and finance lease, subject to status and affordability checks.

They’re robust enough for continuous heavy-duty use, but the work still puts constant stress on components. Blades degrade and hydraulic systems need attention, and wear parts need replacing regularly if throughput is to hold up. Left unchecked, a machine can slow down gradually without any obvious single failure. Our engineers carry out servicing for the pre-shredders we supply, with nationwide cover for planned visits and urgent breakdowns.
