The presence of residues with highly variable consistencies, high moisture content, and possible foreign elements makes the process particularly delicate.<\/p>\n
For this reason, it is necessary to design the shredding not only based on cutting capacity, but also on feeding regularity, operational reliability, and integration with the overall treatment system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
