When shredding hot, 200oF (93oC)+, waste, odors are immediately released when the waste load is broken into. High torque, low speed shredders are generally quiet to operate, around 60 decibels. However, high speed hammermills and granulators are very loud, around 100 decibels, and can be piercing to the ears.
