What happens if a large piece of steel is accidentally sent through the 4.9″ Primary Shredder?
One of two things will happen if a large un-shreddable object is put through the 4.9″ Primary Shredder. 1. The shear pins that protect the drive train from serious damage will shear and need to be replaced. This is not an uncommon occurrence, and only causes approximately 5 minutes of downtime. 2. Thermal overload sensors will shutdown the 50 HP motor if it tries to work too hard to prevent it from damage.
