What It Is
Composite cutting blades featuring a reusable body with bolt-on cutter inserts. Unlike conventional welded-on cutters that require complete blade replacement or off-site refurbishment, our replaceable inserts are swapped in minutes using a standard impact wrench — no welding, no specialized tools, no complete disassembly required.
Key Benefits
Insert replacement in minutes with an impact wrench — any maintenance technician can perform the swap. No welding or specialist skills required.
Replace only the worn inserts, not the entire blade. The blade body remains in the machine. Lower spare parts inventory and significantly reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
Immediate return to operation — no sending blades off-site for refurbishment.
Inserts manufactured in Hardox 400–500 HBW steel with up to 3x longer service life. Superior abrasion and impact resistance for materials containing soil, silica, and contaminants.
Application-Specific Customization
Blade bodies can be manufactured in different steel grades matched to the processed material:
Carbon steel: light-duty applications (clean biomass, paper, cardboard)
Hardox: heavy-duty applications (biomass with soil, C&D waste, metals, WEEE)
This flexibility allows optimizing cost based on application severity.
Bolt-on replaceable blade inserts are standard equipment on the PR4000 and PR5000 Pre-Shredders.
