PERFORMANCE The cutter sequence, chamber size, shaft and knife geometry have been extensively tested and analysed to make the shredding process as efficient as possible.
AXO SHAFT DESIGN Through being more robust than the shafts of hexagonal stacked shaft machines, the AXO one-piece design addresses shaft failures and the costs of new parts, lost production and business disruption. Many traditional shredders use knives stacked on a shaft, with torque nuts providing the stack tightness critical in supporting the shaft to protect against failure. The AXO one-piece cutter-shaft eliminates the need for torque nuts to provide this support, so reduces the incidence of shaft failure.
An AXO one piece shaft is so robust that AXO provide a guarantee against shaft breakage*. AXO has proven in the field that even when shredding contaminants such as heavy steel items AXOs design ensures that impact is limited to the cutter area. The shaft itself will stay intact - this means a faster return to service than other designs.
AXO SMOOTH-SHRED All AXO Electric Shredders include “AXO SmoothShred” soft starter and current management technology. SmoothShred® was developed specifically for AXO by one of the worlds leading motor starter manufacturers to lessen shock loads incurred when bringing electric shredders on-line, and to reduce the incidence of shaft reversal.
POWER SUPPLY RESTRICTED? In addition, through reducing current spikes, AXOs SmoothShred Technology and Dual Soft Starter System reduce the likelihood of problems being caused with power authorities. This means that if you have a low power supply capacity you may not be able to install a standard shredding machine, but you may be able to install an AXO Workmate.
MORE TORQUE Using planetary gearboxes driving each shaft independently we transmit more torque per shaft than other designs. This also saves weight, brings greater throughput and eliminates shaft failure common with gear intermeshed shaft designs. |

EASE OF SERVICE MAINTENANCE AXO has incorporated access features with ease and speed of service in mind. We have focused on simplicity - we recognise that the people usually servicing the machines are Operators not Maintenance Engineers.
CE COMPLIANT All AXO equipment meets OSH requirements and are CE certified.
NO SURPRISES Some companies may accept a broken shaft - not AXO - our shafts are replaced only if the cutters are worn or suffered damage, at a time suitable to the customer and programmed into production. There are no sudden surprises! Often the main cost of replacing broken shafts is not the parts, but the labour and the time your machine is inoperable. AXO one piece shafts are quick and simple to replace compared with competitor machines.
