BloApCo - Corrugated Floor Shredders (Hoggers)

Best Uses:
BloApCo's shredders are purpose-built for handling a variety of industrial packaging and printing waste streams. Whether dealing with high-volume corrugated sheets or dense cardboard cores, these shredders efficiently break down bulky and rigid materials to reduce volume, streamline waste handling, and improve plant cleanliness.

• Core Shredding: Handles cardboard cores from 4" ID with 3/8" walls up to 12" ID with 1/2" walls. The expanded core volume models allow placement of cores anywhere on the conveyor for faster, more convenient feeding.

• Box Crushing and Shredding: Integrated box crusher models can pre-crush cartons up to 38 inches wide, eliminating the need for manual breakdown. This improves operator safety and speeds up processing.

• Corrugated Sheet Feeding: Capable of shredding sheets of any width, including multi-layer or oversized stock. SUPER-WIDE models accommodate sheets up to 120 inches without the need for folding or stacking.

Industries Served:
These shredders are trusted across multiple industries where packaging and converting waste is a challenge. Their flexibility, durability, and integration capabilities make them ideal for both production and post-production environments.

• Corrugated Plants: Remove trim, roll ends, and defective material directly from corrugators.

• Paperboard & Folding Carton Facilities: Process carton scrap, die cuts, and poly-coated waste efficiently.

• Printing Operations: Shred specialty grades like newspaper, mimeo, or cigarette/tipping paper.

• Converters & Packaging Plants: Manage multi-ply and coated materials with minimal dust and noise.

• Flexible Packaging & Paper Mills: Strip paper from cores and shred a wide range of roll and slab waste.

Materials Processed:
BloApCo shredders handle a variety of difficult and lightweight materials that other systems struggle with.

• Corrugated sheets (single-wall, double-wall, and stacked multi-ply)

• Cardboard boxes and sheet waste

• Roll slab, roll wrap, and peel wrap

• Cores with varying diameters and wall thicknesses

• Polycoated and multi-layered materials

• Fine papers and specialty grades used in printing and converting

Advanced Safety Features:
Operator safety and equipment protection are central to BloApCo's shredder design.

• Overweight Protection: A mechanical plate disengages the clutch when more than 70 pounds of material is detected at the infeed, preventing damage and injuries.

• Overload-Reverse Function: Automatically reverses the shafts to clear jams and avoid motor strain.

• Auto-Stop for Overfeed Conditions: Shuts down the unit to prevent accidents from excessive or improper material loading.

• Delayed Start Controls: Ensures safe startup after maintenance or pauses in operation.

• Low-RPM Operation: Reduces heat generation, dust, and fire risk while also lowering decibel output for a quieter facility.
