Shredder vs. Crusher: What Is the Difference?

Understanding the distinction is key to choosing the right size reduction equipment.

Shredders primarily use shearing and tearing forces to rip materials into large, irregular chunks, ideal for bulky or tough items like plastics, metals, and tires in recycling pre-processing.

Crushers, however, rely on impact, compression, or grinding to break brittle materials like ores, glass, and concrete into finer, more uniform granules. This makes them perfect for producing specific aggregate sizes for industrial use. Choose a shredder for coarse reduction and a crusher for fine, controlled results.
