M&J Recycling Raises the Bar for Secondary Waste Shredding Performance

M&J Recycling Raises the Bar for Secondary Waste Shredding Performance
19 Nov 2025  |
M&J Recycling has long been recognised as a market leader in pre-shredders for primary waste processing. Now, the company is ready to redefine standards in secondary shredding with its advanced fine-shredder technology - designed specifically for applications such as RDF and SRF production.

Specialising in the design and manufacture of industrial waste shredders, M&J Recycling is today one of the world’s foremost suppliers in the field. Its robust and reliable solutions are trusted across a wide range of waste management sectors, including energy-from-waste (EfW), hazardous waste, incineration, recycling, landfill, cement production, biomass, and composting. The company’s shredders are also widely used in processing municipal solid waste (MSW), commercial and industrial (C&I) waste, construction and demolition (C&D) waste, WEEE, metals, paper, plastics, bulky waste, and wood.

“We have more than 1,300 installations worldwide – primarily pre-shredders, which have become our hallmark,” says Dan Fairest, Area Sales Manager at M&J Recycling. “However, we are now gaining significant traction in the secondary shredding market with our fine-shredders, which feature cutting-edge technology and our proprietary eDrive system – offering performance levels not previously seen in the industry.”

Secondary shredding driving new levels of operational excellence

The fine-shredders are engineered to deliver the highest quality output at the lowest operational expenditure.

“We’ve dedicated countless development hours to perfecting our fine-shredders, especially making them durable while keeping them service-friendly, cost-effective, and performing at the highest level. When it comes to operational costs, we are confident our fine-shredders are the best in the industry,” says Dan.

This is achieved through a combination of advanced cutting technology and intelligent energy management. The cutting system integrates a friction-optimised shaft, advanced pusher and level control, ensuring consistent material feed and efficient shredding – without heat generation. This allows the machines to operate at full production speed without the risk of thermal buildup or downtime due to melted plastic.

In terms of energy efficiency, the eDrive system is designed to consume only the power required for the task at hand, eliminating energy loss from heat and reducing the need for additional cooling systems. This can result in energy savings of up to 40%, while also minimising daily maintenance. Once the rotor and static knives are set during initial setup or after knife holder replacement, no routine adjustments are necessary—streamlining operations and reducing maintenance costs.

Created to adapt to a world in continuous change

As a global leader in waste shredding technology, M&J Recycling’s mission is clear: to help transform waste into a valuable resource and protect our planet’s finite materials. This philosophy is embedded in the design of our shredders. All fine-shredders are built for flexibility and can be easily adapted to meet evolving operational needs. We believe a perfectly good shredder should never be discarded simply because your business evolves—as it should.

Should your requirements change over time, our fine-shredders offer exceptional retrofit capabilities. Knives and screens can be quickly and easily replaced, ensuring minimal downtime and cost, keeping your operations agile and future-proof.

With these innovations, M&J Recycling is not only expanding its footprint in the secondary shredding market but also setting a new industry standard for performance, efficiency, and reliability.
