What is Komptech’s Solution?

Shredding wood waste, whether it begins as C&D debris or pallets, brings the input materials to a uniform size to prepare for further downstream processing. Post-shred screening enables separation of the useful sized fractions from oversized materials, which can return to the shredder for further sizing.
