A shredder is disclosed, for use with a system for removal of material such as asbestos insulation, where the material once shredded is to be conveyed to collection apparatus via a suction or vacuum hose. The shredder has a housing (3) with an upper opening (10) for receiving materials to be shredded, and an outlet (7) at the bottom of the housing (3) near one side thereof. The outlet (7) is connectable to a suction hose for removal of the materials once shredded. Two counterrotating shafts (4) are arranged horizontally in parallel to each other across the interior of the housing (3), each shaft (4) bearing a plurality of blades (5) projecting outwardly therefrom for impacting materials fed through the upper opening (10). Preferably, the blades (5) are pivotally mounted on the shafts (4) for pivoting about axes parallel to the axes of the shafts (4). Preferably, an auger (20) is mounted across the bottom of the housing, rotatable to deliver shredded material to the area of the outlet (17). |
