Textile Waste Shredder
Der Textile Waste Shredder von Repolyx Systems ist ein langsames Zerkleinerungssystem mit hohem Drehmoment, das eine spezielle „Scherschneide“-Funktion nutzt, die für „schwierige“ weiche Materialien entwickelt wurde – Stoffreste, Kleidungsstücke, Vliesstoffrollen, Garnbündel, Teppiche und Mischtextilien.
Textilien sind in der Regel elastisch, fadenziehend und neigen zum Wickeln. Unsere Rotorgeometrie verfügt über die Anti-Winding-Technologie, um zu verhindern, dass sich Streifen um die Welle verwickeln. Der V-förmige Rotor schneidet gegen ein festes Gegenmesser und sorgt so für saubere Schnitte auch bei harten synthetischen Fasern wie Nylon und Polyester (z. B. Airbags, Sicherheitsgurte). Die Ausgabegröße wird streng durch das Sieb unter der Kammer bestimmt; Das Material wird kontinuierlich umgewälzt, bis es durch die ausgewählte Öffnung (10–60 mm) gelangt, um eine gleichmäßige Weiterverarbeitung zu gewährleisten.
Anti‑Winding Design
Rotor and chamber geometry reduce wrapping from stringy textiles and yarn bundles.
Screen‑Controlled Output
Replaceable screens define particle length (typ. 10–60 mm) for consistent downstream handling.
Stable Feeding Options
Configure conveyor infeed, press roller, or hydraulic pusher depending on bulk density and material form.
Low‑Speed, High‑Torque Drive
Quiet operation with strong cutting force for dense rolls, layered garments, and thick fabric stacks.

Controlled Shredding for Soft, Tough, and Stringy Textiles
Textile waste behaves differently than rigid plastics: it stretches, folds, and can wrap around shafts. Our shredder platform focuses on stable feeding and anti‑winding cutting geometry to deliver a predictable, screen‑controlled output.
Use it as a primary size‑reduction step before fiber opening, sorting, densification, or RDF preparation. Whether you are processing post-consumer clothing (jeans, t-shirts), industrial waste (carpet offcuts, automotive airbags), or security destruction materials (uniforms), we tailor the knife configuration to your specific fabric type.
Output
Screened textile pieces (typically 10–60 mm) for fiber opening, sorting, densification, or RDF preparation.
Best For
Cutting scraps, offcuts, garments, nonwovens, yarn bundles, mixed textile waste, and blended fabrics.
Anti‑Wrapping Features
Knife layout and chamber clearances help prevent long ribbons and shaft wrapping.
Feed Flexibility
Works with loose scraps, bagged waste, or rolls when paired with the right infeed system.
Screened Discharge
Material stays in the chamber until it reaches the target size, improving process control.
System Integration
Pairs with conveyors, metal detection, dust extraction, and downstream fiber processing equipment.
Where It Fits in a Recycling Line
- Upstream: Sorting (remove metals/hard parts), optional metal detection and pre‑cutting
- This stage: Primary shredding into screened textile pieces
- Downstream: Fiber opening / separation, densification/baling, or RDF preparation (process dependent)
Rotor Speed
Approx. 40–90 rpm (material dependent)
Knife Material
SKD11 (D2) tool steel, heat‑treated and indexable
Screen Options
Typical 10–60 mm, custom apertures on request
Infeed
Conveyor + press roller, or hydraulic pusher depending on material form
Drive Power
15–110 kW across models (selection depends on textile type and density)
Anti‑Winding Hardware
Comb/stripper elements and optimized clearances (configuration dependent)
Chamber Sizes
600–2000 mm cutting width options
Throughput
Material and screen dependent; share kg/h target + feedstock for a tailored estimate

Textile Shredder Applications
Primary size reduction for soft, stringy, and layered textile waste.
Fabric Cutting Scraps
Offcuts and production waste from garment and upholstery manufacturing (Cotton, Polyester, Silk, etc.).
Garments & Mixed Textiles
Post‑consumer clothing like denim jeans, t-shirts, and mixed rags. Supports metal detection for zippers/buttons.
Carpets & Rugs
Tough backing and synthetic fibers in post-consumer or industrial carpet waste.
Nonwovens & Airbags
High-strength technical textiles, automotive airbags, and seatbelts requiring sharp shearing action.
Yarn Bundles
Yarn waste, selvage, and stringy bundles requiring anti‑winding setup.
What output size can you produce?
Output size is defined by the screen. Typical textile applications use 10–60 mm screens. Smaller output (e.g., for pelletizing) may require a secondary Granulator or Plastic Pulverizer.
How do you reduce wrapping from stringy textiles?
We use a specialized V-rotor design with minimal clearance and 'anti-winding' cover plates on the shaft. This prevents long strips (like seatbelts or stretch wrap) from wrapping around the rotor.
Can it handle garments with buttons or zippers?
Yes, the heavy-duty blades can cut through small metal/plastic buttons and zippers. However, for longevity, we recommend an upstream metal detector conveyor to remove larger metal contaminants.
What happens after shredding?
Shredded textiles can be baled, sent to a fiber opening machine (for stuffing/insulation), or processed into pellets using a Plastic Film Pelletizing Machine (for synthetic fibers).
Do you offer infeed conveyors and dust control?
Yes—we integrate belt conveyors, hydraulic bin tippers, and cyclone dust collection systems to ensure a clean and efficient operation.
