Shredders and balers shipped to Mexico

Solid waste disposal equipment, including twin-shaft shredders and balers, has been shipped to Mexico to support the development of a circular economy.

Recently, after completing comprehensive quality inspection and commissioning, a twin-shaft shredder and two balers departed from a professional environmental protection equipment manufacturing base in China for Mexico, injecting a critical boost to the local solid waste disposal and resource recycling sectors. This equipment will serve waste treatment projects in Mexico City and surrounding industrial cities, helping to improve solid waste reduction and resource utilization efficiency, and promoting green and low-carbon development.

Mexico, Latin America's second-largest economy, has faced solid waste management challenges brought about by accelerated urbanization in recent years. Mexico City, the capital, generates over 13,000 tons of mixed waste daily, including a significant amount of recyclable materials such as metal scraps, discarded wooden pallets, waste paper packaging, and plastics. However, due to limited processing technology, a significant amount of this waste is landfilled or incinerated, resulting in both waste and environmental pollution. The twin-shaft shredders and balers exported this time are key equipment custom-designed for the specific characteristics of Mexican solid waste.

The twin-shaft shredder utilizes a "low-speed, high-torque + dual-shaft shearing" mechanism. The main shear shaft has a diameter of 600 mm and is equipped with a high-hardness alloy cutter set. It efficiently processes a variety of solid waste types, including metal (such as steel scraps and aluminum frames), wood (such as wooden pallets and used furniture), and paper (such as cartons and cardboard). Its unique staggered cutter shaft design evenly shreds bulky materials (such as whole bales of waste paper and large wood blocks) into 10-20 cm pieces, significantly simplifying subsequent sorting (such as magnetic separation of metals and air separation of lightweight materials) while also preventing dust generation caused by excessive crushing. Designed for Mexico's hot and humid climate, the machine features a reinforced motor cooling system and bearing seals. Its rust-resistant coated housing and moisture-resistant design ensure stable operation in temperatures above 35°C. The cutters are made of a wear-resistant alloy, extending their lifespan by 30% compared to conventional equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

The two balers are primarily used to compress shredded, low-value-added waste (such as shredded paper, wood chips, and lightweight plastics). A hydraulic system compresses the loose materials into dense, compact cubic bales (with a density of 0.8-1.2 tons/cubic meter), significantly reducing transportation and storage costs while facilitating subsequent incineration for power generation or landfill disposal. The balers utilize intelligent pressure control, adjusting the compression strength based on the material type to ensure a compact, non-loose bale.

The Mexican government is fully committed to promoting its "National Circular Economy Strategy," aiming to increase the solid waste recycling rate from the current 35% to over 60% by 2030. This creates a strong demand for efficient, low-energy pre-treatment equipment. This exported equipment combination (shredder + baler) will not only help local processing plants increase their daily processing capacity (a single system can process over 30 tons per day), but will also promote the transformation of mixed solid waste from extensive landfill to refined sorting and high-value utilization. Shredded metal can be sent directly to smelters for recycling, shredded paper and wood chips can be used for biomass energy, and plastics can be recycled into pelletizing.

From exporting equipment to empowering technology, Chinese environmental protection equipment is deeply involved in global solid waste management with adaptable solutions. This batch of twin-shaft shredders and balers shipped to Mexico is both a microcosm of China-Mexico green cooperation and a vivid example of how Chinese intelligent manufacturing is contributing to sustainable development in Latin America.
