The operational challenge
Metal-bearing feeds can contain hard, springy or oversized pieces that exceed the intended duty. Accurate material definition is essential before the machine is specified.
METAL-BEARING MATERIAL
Light Scrap & Metals
Reduce selected light scrap, profiles and metal-bearing materials with a metal-shaft configuration and a tightly controlled feed assessment.
How twin-shaft shredding addresses it
The metal shaft applies controlled twin-shaft reduction to suitable light scrap and selected profiles. WERT lists applications such as concrete railway sleepers, window profiles and sandwich profiles, subject to configuration.
LIKELY CONFIGURATION DISCUSSION
Start with shafts, counter tools and the screen.
Shafts
- Metal shaft
Tooling
- Metal-duty breaker bars
- Counter tools selected after drawing review
- Optional overband magnet where appropriate
These are starting points for assessment, not a final specification.
MATERIAL & PROCESS EVIDENCE
Connect the feed evidence to the cutting system and required discharge.
Official imagery and footage provide context; a representative demonstration should document the actual input condition and the output required by the next process.
OFFICIAL PLATFORM FOOTAGE
Use platform footage for context—not as a material trial.
No material-specific WERT-channel clip is presented for this feed. The general PHANTOM film shows the platform only; arrange a representative assessment for the actual input and output requirement.

NO PUBLISHED AVERAGE
We do not invent a throughput figure.
The current official technical data does not publish an average for this material. Use drawings, photographs and a representative trial.
PERFORMANCE VARIABLES
What will change the result.
- 01Alloy and section thickness
- 02Piece length
- 03Embedded concrete
- 04Contamination
- 05Feed orientation
- 06Required downstream handling
MODEL CONSIDERATIONS
Power is part of the decision, not the whole decision.
No official average throughput is published for light scrap. Material drawings, photos and a trial are more useful than a generic tonnage claim.
MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Plan around the actual wear mechanism.
Inspect cutting edges, shaft spacers, counter tools and wear plates after impact-heavy loads. Exclude unsuitable dense or solid metal pieces identified during assessment.

APPLICATION FAQ
Questions to settle before specification.
01Is the PHANTOM a general-purpose scrap shear?+
No. WERT specifies selected light-scrap and profile applications. Suitability depends on exact dimensions and material construction.
02Why is no throughput shown?+
The current official technical documents do not publish a light-scrap average, so the UK site does not invent one.
03What should I send for assessment?+
Provide material photos, section dimensions, typical piece weights, contaminants, current process and required output.
