Why Choose Raj Electricals for Your Plastic Shredder Machine
A shredder is a 10–20 year purchase. Before you compare quotes, compare what actually determines whether the machine is still earning for you in year ten: construction, blades, spares, and the people standing behind it. Here is our honest case.
How to judge a shredder manufacturer
Every supplier’s brochure says “robust” and “heavy-duty”. The differences show up two years in: when a blade needs re-sharpening, when a bearing fails on a Saturday, when your material changes and the mesh needs swapping. So judge a manufacturer on the things that are hard to fake — how long they have been building machines, whether they make or merely trade, whether you can watch your own material run before paying, and how quickly spares reach you. The nine points below are our answers to those tests; the comparison table further down shows how the same tests apply to a typical imported machine.
Nine reasons plant owners buy from us
Raj Electricals vs a typical imported machine
An honest comparison. Imported machines from reputable makers can be well built — the differences that matter most in India are usually spares, service and total cost over the machine’s life.
| What to compare | Raj Electricals | Typical imported machine |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | All-metal, no plastic parts; MS standard, SS grade on request | Varies by supplier; verify panel and hopper materials |
| Spares availability | Ex-factory Mumbai — blades, screens, bearings from the original maker | Shipped from overseas; weeks of lead time, freight and duty |
| Service response | Our own technicians; installation and on-site maintenance service | Local agent (if any); machine may wait idle for a visiting engineer |
| Trial before purchase | ✓ Shred your own material at our works before you commit | Rarely possible before shipment; videos only |
| Customisation | SS grade, export voltage/Hz motors, mesh size 1–30 mm+ | Fixed catalogue specifications; changes costly or unavailable |
| Duty cycle | Rated for 24-hour continuous operation | Varies; confirm continuous-duty motor rating in writing |
| Buying price | Competitive ex-works Mumbai pricing | Sticker price can be lower — add freight, duty, clearance and commissioning |
| Total cost over 10 years | Lower — local blades, re-sharpening and service keep running costs down | Often higher once spares logistics and downtime are counted |
| Accountability | One manufacturer, one address since 1985 | Importer, agent and factory may each point to the other |
If an imported machine genuinely fits your application better, we will tell you. What we ask is that you compare landed cost, spares lead time and service response — not just the quotation page.
Six questions to ask any supplier — including us
Take this list into every sales conversation. A good manufacturer answers all six in writing without hesitation:
- Can I run a trial with my own material before ordering?
- What is the continuous-duty rating of the motor — in writing?
- What do a replacement blade set and screen cost, and how fast do they ship?
- Is the construction all-metal? Which parts, if any, are plastic?
- Who installs and commissions the machine, and what does it cost?
- Who do I call when it stops at 11 pm — and where are they located?
Our answers: yes, always; 24-hour rated; spares priced on the quotation and despatched from our Mumbai works; all-metal with no plastic parts; our own technicians install on site; and you call the factory that built the machine.
