The BRAVO Pre Shredder, with horizontally counter-rotating shafts, is used upstream of hammer mills in scrap mills, to coarsely and homogeneously crush mixed scrap, bulky scrap and E.L.V.

It is ideal for ripping high density bales and E.L.V.s into uniform pieces to improve the feeding and flow into the next shear or baler.

BRAVO: is equipped with an original OVERSTROKE ‘OSD’ swinging inclined base (patented), which increases productivity, facilitates the gripping of particularly bulky materials and avoids floating scrap at the entrance to the ripping zone.

BRAVO is an indispensable technology in shredding and sorting plants for ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal because it:

• Eliminates the cause of explosions in the shredding chamber
• Reduces and optimizes the energy consumption of the grinding process
• Avoids absorption peaks by letting the mill ‘digest’ pre-crushed and homogenously sized material
• Significantly increases the service life of wear plates, grids and hammers
• Enables smaller mills to process more material efficiently with an even flow of scrap, by pre-shredding E.L.V. as they are or in bales.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the BRAVO Pre-Shredder used for?
A: The BRAVO Pre-Shredder is designed to coarsely and homogeneously crush mixed and bulky scrap materials, including end-of-life vehicles (E.L.V.). It is typically used upstream of hammer mills in scrap processing facilities to prepare materials for more efficient shredding.

Q: How does the BRAVO Pre-Shredder improve the shredding process?
A: By pre-shredding materials, the BRAVO reduces the risk of explosions in the shredding chamber, optimizes energy consumption, prevents power absorption peaks, and significantly extends the service life of wear plates, grids, and hammers in the hammer mill.

Q: What is the “OVERSTROKE ‘OSD’ swinging inclined base” feature?
A: This patented feature enhances productivity by facilitating the gripping of particularly bulky materials and preventing floating scrap at the entrance to the ripping zone.

Q: What types of materials can the BRAVO Pre-Shredder process?
A: It can handle mixed scrap, bulky scrap, and end-of-life vehicles (E.L.V.), including bales of light and collected scrap.

Q: How does the BRAVO Pre-Shredder benefit smaller mills?
A: By pre-shredding materials into a homogeneous size, smaller mills can process more material efficiently, ensuring an even flow of scrap and reducing strain on the hammer mill.
