DS1040 Dual Shaft Shredder, 1010 mm at 40.0 HP (2 x 20 HP)
A significant leap up in scale, with 40 HP of twin motor power, a larger frame and dramatically higher throughput for the most demanding continuous duty operations.
Where the DS1040 Fits
The DS1040 is the 1010 mm member of our dual shaft cross cut line, rated at 40.0 HP (2 x 20 HP) / 29.42 kW (2 x 14.71 kW) and 1200 to 1600 kg/hr. It sits between the DS1030 below it at 800 to 1000 kg/hr and the DS1080 above it at 2600 to 3000 kg/hr. Every machine in the range shares the same two shaft principle, so stepping up or down changes the opening and the drive rather than the way the machine works.
Two counter rotating shafts carrying interlocked hardened cutters grab whatever is fed between them and tear it apart at low speed and high torque. That is what lets a dual shaft machine take bulky, mixed and awkward material that a high speed rotor would simply bounce. Output is an uneven cross cut shred, which is what you want for destruction and volume reduction. Where a buyer needs screened, uniform regrind instead, the shred feeds an RE series grinder as a second stage, and plenty of plants run both.

What does the DS1040 cost?
Price depends on the configuration: cutter thickness and geometry for your material, the control panel, contact part grade where hygiene matters, and any conveyor or collection accessories. Tell us what you shred and your daily volume and we will send a firm written quotation. Our guide to what drives machine cost explains the variables first.
Can we trial our own material before buying?
Yes, and we encourage it. Bring a representative sample of your waste to our works at Andheri East in Mumbai and watch it run. You see the shred size and the real feed behaviour on your material rather than a datasheet figure. Outstation buyers can send material for a recorded trial.
What output does the DS1040 produce?
An uneven cross cut shred, which is the normal output of a dual shaft machine and exactly what volume reduction, destruction and onward sale to recyclers need. If your buyer wants uniform screened granules, add an RE series grinder as a second stage.
How do I choose between the DS1040 and the models either side of it?
Compare the cutting head and the output capacity. The DS1040 runs at 1200 to 1600 kg/hr. The DS1030 is the smaller step at 800 to 1000 kg/hr. The DS1080 is the larger step at 2600 to 3000 kg/hr. Work from your daily tonnage and the largest piece you need to feed whole, then size up rather than down, because a machine running inside its capacity lasts longer than one held at its limit.
Is it built for continuous running?
Yes. The build is all metal with no plastic parts and the machine is rated for continuous duty rather than short bursts with cooling pauses. Keep metal objects out of the cutting chamber, and keep to the lubrication and cutter care schedule we hand over at installation.
