Efficient drive solutions for shredders

With its components and services, Baumüller offers an extensive scope of systems for shredder drives.

Scalable drive system for more flexibility

The Baumüller system solution includes the complete main drive system with high-torque motors, servo converters, including control cabinet construction, as well as the control technology with hardware and an extensive complete software package specially for shredding plants. The drive unit is configured individually depending on the required power.

Due to the modular use of components, the Baumüller drive system kit enables us to realize a very wide range of shredders with minimum variance in the drive system. This simplifies the order process and the warehousing/spare parts management of the shredder manufacturer enormously.

In addition to hardware and software, Baumüller also provides support with engineering and implements the drive, machine control system and software completely and entirely as required. Baumüller also offers optional long-term life cycle management for shredders that is individually tailored to the requirements. On request, Baumüller will also support you with the installation and commissioning of your system anywhere in the world.

Precisely tailored to our customers: Powerful hardware for more power

In order to provide the high power required for shredding processes, depending on the gear ratio, motors with very high maximum torques are needed. The Baumüller DST2 series high-torque motors are therefore predestined for this application. The motors can be perfectly adapted to the shredder’s requirements thanks to different shaft and flange options. Depending on the power requirements, the shredder shafts are each driven by one or two motors.

With the b maXX 5000 converter family, Baumüller offers suitable servo drives for high power classes. The servo drives impress with their compact installation dimensions and offer a broad and scalable selection of optional safety functions.

Baumüller can also supply the right drive system for large shredding systems, such as car shredders. Thanks to the modular b maXX 5500 drive electronics, with the help of multiple-winding systems, even the large motors of the DST2 series with up to 1,150 kW power can be used and combined to form multi-motor solutions.

At the control level, Baumüller’s b maXX PLC mc control platform combines the features of industry PCs and PLC control units, optimally covering the range between these two existing solutions. The system has convincingly handy dimensions of 110 x 90 x 35 mm and is therefore extremely compact. Baumüller offers suitable HMI panels with touch display for user-friendly machine operation.

Pre-programmed and ready for immediate integration: Machine template for industrial shredder control

Manufacturers save time and money with the complete software package that provides all of the basic functionalities of a shredder. The software contains a large number of the required machine functions as well as motion modules for actuating the servo motors, templates for the machine visualization, and functions such as EtherCAT diagnosis, commissioning mode, load balancing, and water cooling control.

Life-cycle management worldwide

In addition to the development and manufacture of electric drive and automation components, as a group of companies, Baumüller provides numerous services for plant and machinery manufacturing and for machine operators.

Baumüller is a non-group-affiliated, mid-sized company and is able to respond to customers wishes quickly and efficiently with innovative drive solutions. This makes us the perfect partner for challenging projects and future technologies.
