How to Make a Shredder Machine | DIY Shredder Machine

In this video, I will show you how to make a shredder machine. You could call it a homemade shredder machine.
Some time ago my brother needed a shredder machine. But unfortunately in our country the shredder machines are not made.
So we decided to find a machine in a scrap yard. And then we searched in many scrape yards but no machine was found. When there was no machine after much effort, my brother asked me to make a machine.
At first I found it very difficult because, I had no experience in making such machines. So, I refused to build the machine. This type of machine is also difficult to make because of the high level of accuracy. One small mistake can ruin your whole design and all your money can be wasted. But my brother insisted and encouraged me that if you try you can make this machine. After so much encouragement, I decided that I would make this machine anyway. Then, I started working on this project and built a machine.
There may be many flaws in the design of this machine. If there is a flaw in the design of this machine, it could be that I did not have any other machine or diagram in front of me that, I was coping. I was just thinking and designing in my mind. Lack of experience has also cost me a lot to make this machine. The cost of making this machine is close to fifteen hundred dollars even though, I bought an electric gear motor from scrape at a cheaper rate for this machine. But after making this machine, I have been able to make a professional level shredder machine.
I made this machine completely in my workshop Only laser cutting is done from outside. Because laser cutting is necessary to make the shredder machine blades, accuracy is impossible without it. We can't do this in our workshop with the help of Plasma Cutter.
I hope you guys like my effort and you will encourage me too. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the design of this machine, please leave a comment in the comments section.

You have done an amazing job. I'm from Sri Lanka and our former presidents robbed the tax money and ruined our economy and banned fertilizer resulting in a food crisis. I hope to make such a machine to help make fertilizer from food waste. Thank you for your contribution of knowledge to society. With more talented good people like you this world will be a better place. Keep up the good work. I wish you all the best.

Can you send me the dimensions of this machine please

[@eddietowers5595]

The title of this video states, "How to make a shredder machine DIY shredder machine", yet it doesn't us how to make a shredder machine it shows how YOU made a shredder machine that would be mostly impossible for your viewers to make a DIY shredder machine as the viewers may not have access to a cnc laser cutter and enough stock to make such.

[@Spozinbro]

I dream about having a CNC machine.....

[@woodsplitter]

Not sure I get your point, people have access to different things and have different abilities.

[@prm414]

@@woodsplitter I think his point is that the laser head alone costs £4000, and not many DIYers have one in their 8ft x 16ft shed.

[@xyengineeringandtechnology8497]

Depending on the audience... For an Engineer like myself, I was able to get very vital information to make this. Almost done making mine

[@Mriya6]

What RPM and HP is the motor, and what is the ratio of the gearbox?

[@xyengineeringandtechnology8497]

I keep making reference to your video. I have successfully replicated this; I didn't use a Plasma cutter but a Burning touch set, though it's quite technical.

[@markkawecki9848]

Hi William, Please made a video and send us the link here. Thanks, Mark

[@xyengineeringandtechnology8497]

Alright Mark. I am 90% done. Once I give it the finishing touch, I'll do that. Actual fabrication isn't as easy as KZbin videos make it look :-), but I was able to crack it. From making adjustments to the Series orientation of the Blades shown in this video to a Spiral orientation (the output sizes were not shown here for a purpose 😀), to the reduction in speed to achieve great torque.

[@Adoantotnghiep]

So meaningful vid. I know you said you designed in your head and so there are no CAD plans but would there be any way to provide some basic measurements? I am wanting to build a Shredder myself. Can you give me size of diameter of cutter blades, thickness, hex shaft length and dia of Hex. Overall length and width and height, all would help.

Excellent work, very good video Thank you very much for sharing

[@IronManRestoration]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@billsherenow]

I'm not saying anything is wrong with your machine or not because I haven't tried to build mine yet. But there are a few areas that may make a great deal of difference, 1.) It uses two drive motors for even torch on both sets of cutters and less shearing force on the drive teeth that it is doing now because it looks as if you were cutting heavy metal pcs. it would shear the teeth of your drive gear if you had a long thick pc. that caught across several cutting teeth at the same time unless you change the shape of your cutting wheels so they would not always line up for a cut every time on every tooth. instead of making all your cutting wheels with 6 teeth. Just make them with 2 or 3 teeth and one of them on each wheel being an extra long tooth then mount them so that they are all staggered so that you will not have no more than a few in the cut position at a time on each set of rollers. And last I see that the block bearings that you used only had two bolt patterns and I think it may be a lot better if you had used the 4 bolt pattern because I felt that you were putting an awful lot of shear force on those two bolts that hold the forces of them cutters now. But you have been running this machine now and maybe you can tell me what problem you might have had since that if you had done differently would have been better. And or make another video showing us the differences that you are talking about thanks.

[@Ropeman302]

you raise some good points there i agree with the teeth needing to be spaced lest often so to reduce the amount cutting at one time also driving both units at same time would be good. you can see the strain in the motor when its trying to take the aeroplane and the wood. But this is a very good build and should be proud.

[@mrmissdestiny5953]

Did you foresee a reversible movement (counter-rotation of the rotor) in case it gets stuck, and do you have a frequency regulation of the motor rotation for its protection?

[@minersug2171]
