TECHNOLOGY EXPERT
High performance shredding
Recycling companies today need advanced
solutions that integrate sustainability with
top-tier efficiency. Panizzolo’s Mega Series
hammermills emerge as the preferred choice
for leading firms such as EGA, Mughal, Deral
and Com.steel.
The Mega Series delivers an excep-
tional balance between productivity
and efficiency, processing up to 2.2
times more material than the industry
standard. With a production capacity
of up to 35 tonnes per hour, these
hammermills enable companies to
maximise their throughput while sig-
nificantly lowering energy costs.
Publicly accessible market data shows
the Mega Series guarantees energy
savings ranging from 57% to 76%
compared to other models with similar
motorisation.
MEETING DIVERSE NEEDS
The modular design allows for quick
adjustments to meet varying produc-
tion requirements, with configuration
changes possible in under 20 minutes.
This adaptability ensures the Mega
Series can handle a wide range of
scrap materials, from mixed metals
and aluminium to electric and car
engines. The patented cradle system
further enhances this flexibility by
reducing mechanical strain, ensuring
consistent performance and longevity.
INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING
At the core of the Mega Series’ excep-
tional performance is its meticulously
designed rotor. The rotor facilitates
efficient material entry and optimises
the grinding process for even the
heaviest scrap. Its double cast steel
pulley and high-stress absorbing
capacity ensure durability and reliabili-
ty, minimising risks of cracks or dis-
placements over time. Additionally, in-
house designed bearings with high-
temperature grease contribute to the
rotor’s longevity and performance.
HIGH-QUALITY OUTPUT
The finely tuned grinding process
ensures that the resulting metal is of
the highest quality, enhancing its value
and meeting the stringent require-
ments of downstream industries.
Whether the recycled materials are
destined for automotive, construction
or electronics manufacturing, the
Mega Series opens up new markets
and business opportunities for recy-
cling companies.
BUILT TO LAST
Designed to endure intense industrial
demands, the Mega Series utilises
reinforced high-grade steel and preci-
sion-certified welds to deliver excep-
tional strength. Its innovative cradle
system, designed by Panizzolo,
absorbs operational vibrations, reduc-
ing stress on critical components and
ensuring long-lasting performance.
Thick internal linings and sturdy exter-
nal reinforcements protect the
machine’s core, while wear is confined
to interchangeable components. This
not only minimises maintenance but
also guarantees high-quality scrap pro-
cessing over time.
SIMPLICITY IN USE AND
MAINTENANCE
The Mega Series is engineered for the
user, ensuring that operations are
straightforward while maintenance is
hassle-free with streamlined processes
to reduce downtime. Routine cleaning
and part replacements can be per-
formed without specialised tools or
highly professional skills. Furthermore,
the integrated Panizzolo software
facilitates independent management
and enables remote assistance, ensur-
ing continuous productivity.
Another standout feature of the Mega
Series is its ability to reduce up to 80%
of vibrations during grinding, achieved
through advanced vibration dampers.
This enhances the machine’s stability
and protects surrounding infrastruc-
ture from mechanical stress. Moreover,
it significantly improves workplace
safety by minimising exposure to
excessive vibration.
CHOSEN BY THE BEST
Many leading companies have chosen
the Mega Series, making it a reliable
solution in their pursuit of excellence.
They include Emirates Global
Aluminium (EGA), the world’s largest
producer of premium aluminium;
Mughal, one of Pakistan’s top steel
manufacturers; Deral, a market-leading
foundry in Italy specialising in alumini-
um billet production; and Com.steel,
an historic name in ferrous scrap
recovery.
Although operating in different sectors,
these companies share a common goal:
a relentless drive for uncompromising
quality, making the Mega Series a trust-
ed part of their success.
