Comparison of Shear Shredder with Hammermill for Size Reduction of Navy Solid Waste

Abstract

The performances of a rotary shear shredder and a vertical shaft hammermill in reducing domestic and Navy solid wastes were compared over an 8- month-period. The shear shredder processed more and a greater variety of material at higher rates, with greater availability, lower O & M cost and longer mean time between maintenance actions than the hammermill. The latter, however, had a longer mean time between failures, higher reliability, a reduced average time required to repair, and produced a finer discharge material. Keywords: Waste; Life cycle cost analysis.
