Who this metal shredder is for
This metal shredder machine is suited to businesses that need reliable and controlled size reduction of metal materials, including:
- recycling facilities handling mixed or ferrous metals
- manufacturing sites managing metal offcuts or scrap
- waste and resource recovery centres
- product destruction operations
- industrial sites needing volume reduction before transport
If you’re dealing with high volumes, tough materials, or strict processing requirements, our team can help you find the right fit.
Metal recycling starts with breaking material down to a manageable size, and that’s exactly what a metal shredder is built for. Whether you’re processing scrap steel, aluminium offcuts, or bulky metal equipment, a properly specified shredder turns awkward, high volume waste into material that’s ready for the next stage of recycling.
At Material Recovery Solutions, we design and manufacture custom shredders in house, built around the materials and volumes our clients are actually working with, rather than a one size fits all machine.
What our metal shredders handle
Our custom shredding solutions are built to process a range of metal waste streams, including:
- Scrap steel and offcuts
- Aluminium components and packaging
- Metal from decommissioned equipment and machinery
- Mixed metal waste from industrial and manufacturing sites
Why go custom
Off the shelf shredders are built for average conditions. Ours are designed around your site, your material and your throughput needs, so you’re not paying for capacity you don’t use or running short on capacity you do. Our in-house engineers handle everything from initial design through to installation and ongoing maintenance, with a 95% first-time fix rate and same-day attendance on most breakdowns.
Metal recycling as part of a bigger system
A shredder rarely works in isolation. Pairing it with the right conveyor system keeps material moving efficiently from intake through to output, and many of our clients run shredding alongside baling equipment to compact processed material for transport and resale. If you’re not sure what setup makes sense for your site, our team can talk you through the options.
Custom built for your operation
Every site is different, which is why we build to order rather than offering a fixed model range. If you’ve got a specific metal recycling challenge, from irregular shaped scrap to high volume processing needs, our custom shredders are designed around what you actually need to process.

FAQ
Q: What is a metal shredder machine used for?
A: A metal shredder machine breaks down large or bulky metal materials into smaller pieces for recycling, waste reduction or product destruction. Common applications include processing scrap metal, aluminium, steel offcuts and industrial equipment.
Q: What is the difference between a small metal shredder and an industrial metal shredder?
A: Small metal shredders are suited to lower-volume operations or businesses processing lighter materials like thin sheet metal or electronics. Industrial metal shredders are built for high-throughput operations, tougher alloys and continuous heavy-duty use.
Q: Can a metal shredder process scrap metal and mixed metals?
A: Yes. Metal shredders can be designed to handle a wide range of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, aluminium and mixed scrap metal streams, depending on how the machine is configured.
Q: How much does a metal shredder cost in Australia?
A: Pricing varies depending on throughput requirements, material type and machine configuration. Contact Material Recovery Solutions for a quote tailored to your operation.
Q: Do you provide servicing and support for metal shredders in Australia?
A: Yes, Material Recovery Solutions provides installation, maintenance and ongoing support for our metal shredding equipment across Australia. For 90% of breakdowns we can attend site the same day, with a 95% first-time fix rate.
