Automobile Shredders

Shredders used in the metals recycling industry produce a great deal of debris, smoke, and steam during the shredding process. This can severely compromise the view of an operator, often causing shredder downtime while repairs are conducted on the shredder from damage caused by any unshreddables. The installation of a thermal camera will provide a clear view for the operator of material through steam and smoke. The clearer the thermal image the better able the operator is to control the flow of material, reduce the negative impact of unshreddables, and to ensure the highest level efficiency. Our goal at Lumistar is to reduce downtime and increase productivity by as much as 15% for your shredder.
