Shutting Down Your Shredder? NEVER Skip These 5 Critical Steps!

A proper shutdown isn't just about turning off the machine—it's about protecting your investment and ensuring it's ready to roar back to life. Here's the only checklist you need:

1️⃣ CUT THE FEED — IMMEDIATELY
First thing first: Stop the conveyor and feeding system. No exceptions. This prevents cross-contamination between batches and keeps your entire line running smoothly.

2️⃣ EMPTY THE BELLY — COMPLETELY
Let the shredder run until the chamber is 100% clear. Any leftover material is a recipe for a jammed, hard start next time. Don't rush this step!

3️⃣ KILL THE POWER — FOR SAFETY
Turn off the main power. This eliminates any risk of accidental restart and prevents potential electrical issues caused by prolonged standby.

4️⃣ SHUT DOWN THE SUPPORT SYSTEM
Turn off dust collectors, cooling units, and other auxiliary equipment. This saves energy and prevents unnecessary wear and tear on the entire system.

5️⃣ THE FINAL CLEANSE — BE THOROUGH
Clean the entire machine, especially the feed hopper, discharge area, and conveyor. Dig out any debris stuck in gaps. This prevents corrosion and ensures a clean start for the next shift.
