Collection: Hammel and Wolf Shredders

Aluminum is commonly baled in order to efficiently haul from a location where it is to a place it needs to be so that it may be recycled into new material. This presents a problem though, nobody melts baled aluminum. That bale must be broken open and shredded to an appropriate size to be melted into new material. This is where the Wolf 9500 shines. 

The Wolf 9500 & Hammel 950 are the ideal machines to deploy in aluminum rim shredding applications. They create the appropriately sized product for the smelters and handles the material exceptionally well with production levels of up to 40 tons per hour.
