DIY Solar-Powered Shredder Makes Recycling Easier

In this video, we embark on an engineering journey inspired by the one and only MrBeast and his giant shredder, where we harness the power of the sun and feed it directly into SHREDII 5! Join us as we use the sun's energy to recycle tons of boxes and create DIY cardboard insulation. NOTE: WE DO NOT END UP USING THE CARDBOARD INSULATION DUE TO FIRE RISK. Here's a sneak peek of what to expect: 

🌞 Solar-Powered Shredding: Witness the fusion of DIY engineering and solar panels to efficiently recycle boxes using SHREDII. 

🔧 DIY Setup: Learn how to assemble the DIY shredder and create your own solar power station, an engineering feat that's both sustainable and educational. 

🧪 Testing and Innovation: Join us as we conduct a science experiment to measure the insulation's R-value and develop a DIY chemical treatment for fire resistance. 

❌ Garage Insulation: Discover the three reasons why we decided against insulating our garage with shredded cardboard in the video. This concept offers endless possibilities for free insulation in various projects.

Shredii

The motor really changed the game with Shredii. It was a bit of a challenge to attach the motor since both the motor and Shredii are quite heavy, but once together it was definitely worth it!

SHREDII 6.0 Review

Finally got my Shredii 6! It feels like a beast. Also got the tall safety funnel to throw more stuff in at a time. I'm happy with my purchase.

Custom safety cover

I purchased the SherdII and down loaded the round safely cover. But I needed a taller cover. I contacted customer service and a very nice gentleman responded. I explained what I was looking for. He had design create a file for me to download. I printed it and it works great. It was just what I needed. Their customer service is amazing. I highly recommend them.

Thank you for the 5-star review Alicia! We love your setup and we're glad you're getting great use from your SHREDII!

SHREDII Review

I just finished the assembly and delivered the finished shredder to my former employer. The assembly was easy however the two holes to secure the gear cover were not tapped. The shredder will be used to breakdown plastic parts that have failed production so that Melt Flow Analysis can be performed on the plastic. In order to perform Melt Flow Index testing, you need to have the plastic ground up into manageable chunks. The plan is to use SHREDII to grind up the questionable plastic when we have to analyze a future production problem.

Thank you for your kind review, Ross!

Great little shredder for my shop

This shredder works great, especially with plastics. The hand crank is a nice to have, but I think I'll stick to using motor.
