Can PROSINO Wood Pallet Shredder Handle Nails?
Yes. The PROSINO wood pallet shredder is specifically designed to process used wooden pallets containing nails, screws, and metal fasteners commonly found in logistics and recycling applications.
Why PROSINO Wood Pallet Shredder Can Handle Nails?
1. Built for Contaminated Pallets
Wood pallets almost always contain steel nails. Industrial pallet shredders are engineered to shred nailed pallets directly, unlike standard wood chippers that are easily damaged by metal.
Heavy-duty pallet shredders use strong cutting systems and high torque to tear through pallet structures while tolerating embedded metal parts.
2. Robust Cutting Rotor & Blades
The PROSINO pallet shredder features:
- Heavy-duty rotating cutting blades
- Stationary counter knives for shearing action
- Reversible rotor design to protect the machine if overload occurs
These features allow the shredder to cut wood while surviving contact with nails during operation.
3. Nail Separation After Shredding
In pallet recycling lines, nails are normally removed after shredding, not before.
Industrial pallet shredders commonly:
- shred pallets together with nails
- automatically separate iron nails from wood chips using magnetic or metal separation systems
This improves efficiency and avoids manual pallet dismantling.
✔ Typical Materials Processed
PROSINO wood pallet shredder can handle:
- Wooden pallets with nails
- Broken logistics pallets
- Construction formwork
- Waste furniture wood
- Mixed wood scrap with metal fasteners
⚠ Important Operating Notes
Even though nails are acceptable:
- Large metal pieces (steel plates, tools, bolts) should be avoided
- Periodic blade inspection is recommended
- Magnetic separator is recommended for clean output material
✅ Conclusion
Yes — PROSINO wood pallet shredders are designed to shred nailed pallets directly, making them ideal for pallet recycling plants, waste wood recovery centers, and biomass preparation systems.
