Nomen Omen: The Zeus shredder

June 21st, 2010

Nomen Omen, meaning it’s all in the name. At WRS, we like everything to have its own special meaning and to have a specific purpose, starting with the products we construct, the very names of which must tell us something about them.

For instance, the ZEUS shredder

The ZEUS shredder is a particularly sturdy single shaft machine. It features a capacious cutting chamber and is driven by a powerful electric motor. Zeus can be used for grinding/shredding and volume reduction, and later processing of municipal and industrial waste, wood and plastic.

According to Greek mythology, Zeus was the god of the sky, of thunder and lightning. Zeus was the most powerful of the gods. His strength was bodied forth in his thunder and lightning. Electrical discharge fits in with what the WRS Zeus shredder is all about, since its special feature is that it’s electricity-driven − enabling processing power and reliability.

Bulky wastes: how to reduce the volume?

In large industries as in the home it has become increasingly important and necessary to reduce bulky wastes.

In fact, reducing bulky wastes is the first step towards facilitating subsequent processing operations.

The equipment that make this operation possible (reduce the volume of bulky waste), is usually mechanical and is known as “Grinders and Shredders”.
The grinders and shredders work on bulky wastes and reduce the volume (including predefined sizes),  by grinding and cutting the components of bulky waste itself.

The type of grinder or shredder to be used is usually chosen based on the following parameters:

1. hourly capacity of the wastes to be processed
2. final product size to be achieved.

An example of a two-shaft shredder is THANIT
