02 Oct New shredder model with overload protection damping system

We are pleased to announce that SatrindTech will be participating in Ecomondo 2024 in Rimini, from November 5th to 8th, Hall A1, Booth 407-306, where we will present our new shredder model, equipped with an innovative damping system for overload protection. This advanced mechanical device ensures the safety and reliability of your plant, designed to protect the transmission system from sudden overloads during operation.

Innovative overload protection system

The damping system effectively isolates the electric transmission components, consisting of the motor and planetary gear reducer, from the shredder’s main drive (gearbox and shafts). In the event of a blockage during the shredding phase, the dry friction discs slip, and a sensor connected to the PLC detects that the shredder’s shafts have stopped while the motor shaft is still rotating. This triggers the motor to stop within fractions of a second, protecting the drive mechanism. The system also signals any anomalies, which must be resolved before restarting the machine.

Maintenance-friendly design

The damping system is made up of two sections connected by friction discs, which transmit torque through adjustable springs. This allows the maximum transmittable torque to be set and adapted to specific operational needs. Over time, the natural wear of the discs can reduce the preload on the springs, but our technicians are ready to intervene during maintenance to adjust the compression and restore optimal performance.

The damping system is pre-adjusted by SatrindTech according to the shredder’s characteristics, ensuring optimal performance right from the first use.

We look forward to meeting you at Ecomondo 2024 to showcase all the technological innovations Satrindtech has to offer!
