About Qiming Casting’s Shredder Hammers

1. Manganese Steel Grates & Liners: Built to Last

• Material: Mn14-18% with 2-3% chromium for enhanced hardness (550-600 HB after work-hardening).
• Key Features:
  • Impact Resistance: Absorbs shock from falling scrap, protecting shredder interiors.
  • Self-Renewing Surface: Work-hardens under use, reducing replacement frequency.
• Applications: Ideal for primary shredders processing automotive scrap, appliances, and demolition debris.

2. DHT Hammers: Doubling Down on Durability

Our DHT technology revolutionizes hammer performance through a two-phase manufacturing process:

1. Core: High-chromium alloy (58-62 HRC) for abrasion resistance against silica, glass, and e-waste.
2. Shell: Manganese steel (550 HB) that self-hardens under impact, preventing cracks.

Proven Results:

• Lifespan: 8,000–10,000 hours vs. 5,000 hours for standard hammers.
• ROI: Clients achieve payback within 12–18 months despite a 15% higher upfront cost.

Case Study:

• Overcoming War-Driven Supply Chain Crisis with DHT Alloy Hammers for Lindemann Shredders

• DHT Hammers Deliver 314% Higher Throughput for US Metal Recycler
