UNIQUE AND ADVANTAGES OF THE CASTOR CONCEPT – Part 1/2

The crushing chamber can be opened and cleaned from two sides – from the bottom by manually tilting the sieve bed and from the top by tilting the hopper. This solution is unique on the market.

The sieve that defines the grain size of the grit has the simple shape of a cranked perforated plate. The sieve bed with reinforcements on which the sieve rests is a separate part of the mechanism and remains in the machine when the sieve is replaced. This exceptional solution adds considerable additional value to the machine.

The high-mounted crushing chamber allows the crushed material to be collected in a box or by belt conveyor, screw conveyor and transport fan without the need to equip the machine with an additional stand.

The large diameter of the rotor (400 mm) allows the efficient capture of objects with relatively large outline dimensions into the tooling footprint of the crusher. The large rotor diameter also means a large screen throughput area and high crushing performance.

Single drive (22 or 30kW) or dual drive (2x22kW) versions are available. There are also designs with a rotor length of 600 mm and 12 or 24 rotor blades and with a rotor length of 1000 mm and 21 or 42 rotor blades.

UNIQUE AND ADVANTAGES OF THE CASTOR CONCEPT – Part 2/2

The CASTOR single rotor shredder has a unique stator blade arrangement of two, equivalent rotor blades in the shredding chamber so that each rotor blade makes two cuts in one rotor revolution. The radially adjustable position of the stator blades and the perfect geometry of the stator and rotor blades have a positive effect on the performance of the crusher and the overall efficiency of the crushing process. In addition, thanks to this design CASTOR can also crush without a sieve.

Each rotor blade has the shape of a double-sided ridge. This original solution gives the user additional added value, as he has four stator knife blades at his disposal instead of the usual two.

The rotor plates can be rotated around two axes. The user thus has 4 rotor knife blades at his disposal.
