Hydraulic shredders, based on their application scenarios and jaw design, are mainly divided into breakers and shredders. Breakers are suitable for initial demolition work in concrete; shredders are suitable for secondary demolition after the initial break, their core purpose being to separate concrete from reinforcing steel for easy recycling. Based on functional characteristics, they can be divided into stationary hydraulic shredders and hydraulic rotary shredders. Hydraulic rotary shredders can rotate 360 degrees and are suitable for high-altitude and conventional demolition operations.
Based on the tonnage of the excavator they are compatible with, they can be divided into models specifically for small excavators and universal models suitable for various tonnages. Universal hydraulic shredders can be installed on excavators of various brands and models.
