Shredder for mattress recycling
The environmental impact of old mattresses
Mattresses can be challenging to recycle due to their large size and complex material composition. Typically, mattresses are made from a mix of materials such as foam, fabric, metal springs and wood, which are difficult to separate and process, resulting in high recycling costs. Additionally, many areas lack specialized infrastructure to handle these mixed materials, making mattress recycling impractical. As a result, many mattresses end up in landfills or illegally dumped, causing a serious impact on the surrounding environment.
Invest in a mattress shredder
In order to achieve effective recycling of mattresses, investing in a mattress shredder has become key. Shredders break down mattresses into their component parts so the materials can be reused. For example, broken down foam can be used as filler in other products, while wood and metal can be used to make new products or melted down. By repurposing these materials, we can reduce the burden on landfills, reduce environmental pollution, and promote the development of a circular economy.

What else should you know before choosing a bulky waste shredder?
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the requirements for the comprehensive recycling rate of domestic waste, the market for using domestic waste incineration to generate electricity or make RDF alternative fuels has rapidly emerged. Domestic waste crushers have gradually entered the field of vision of industry personnel. Kowloon’s environmentally friendly improved domestic waste crushers and The designed domestic waste recycling production line scheme has been generally recognized and praised by partners.
However, the collection, transportation and processing of bulky waste such as used furniture, home appliances, tables, chairs, sofas, and mattresses in domestic waste are different from other materials. Engineering wood cubes and packaging materials in construction waste, and wind turbine blades, fiberglass reinforced plastic products, rubber products, etc. in industrial waste are also difficult to collect, transport and process due to their large size. Faced with this situation, Kowloon Intelligent Environmental Protection specially developed a large waste crusher to adapt to policy guidance and the needs of local governments to build large waste disposal centers. However, when choosing to use a specific crusher model, you should also know this information in advance to prepare for the selection. details as follows:
1. The main components of the materials to be crushed are used to determine the type and configuration of the crusher, such as whether there are mattresses in the bulky garbage, whether the metal components in the home appliances have been removed, whether it contains long bamboo wood, etc.;
2. The crusher manufacturer needs to know the approximate size of the crushed materials to determine the crusher model. For example, if the mattress to be crushed is 1.8 meters wide, the crushing width of the large crusher should be at least 1.8 meters wide;
3. The purpose of the crushed materials. This mainly determines the configuration of the production line. For example, resource utilization requires two levels of crushing, while outsourcing incineration only requires one level of crushing;
4. The processing capacity requirements for bulky waste are that crushing equipment that can process 2 tons per hour and 20 tons per hour cannot be the same model.
Kowloon Environmental Protection has developed targeted crushers based on the material characteristics of different industries. For example, the large garbage crusher has unique advantages in handling large materials, strong crushing capacity, and anti-entanglement. The same applies to other fields. The corresponding crusher equipment is tailor-made according to the characteristics of its industry and materials, which fully reflects the company’s market experience and technological accumulation in this field, and is responsible for the actual use results of each customer.
