When is One Large Shredder Better than Two or Three Smaller Shredding Plants?
It is interesting that there is a renewal of the old discussion regarding the advantages of shredding with a large shredder compared with smaller shredders. At The Shredder Company, during the past year, we have taken orders for 4 smaller shredders and 7 large shredders. That might indicate a preference for large machines but the locations and the circumstances for each plant differ greatly and need to be examined for clues as to how the next individual should make this decision. Before the discussion of whether or not the new shredder should be large or small, it is probably a good idea to look at whether a new shredder is a good idea in any event. Confessing our prejudice as manufacturers of shredding equipment, we believe that, of course, the world needs lots of new efficient shredders of all sizes but it will be worthwhile to examine some facts to double check our selves.
