Las Vegas, Nevada: ENERPAT Clothes Shredder Installed

Case Background & Customer Pain Points

In Las Vegas, a well-established textile recycling company faced a growing bottleneck: massive volumes of waste textiles pouring in from local sources, with highly variable sizes and packaging. The customer was struggling to process 6–8 tons per hour of mixed cloth, denim, upholstery, carpets, and nonwoven scraps. Manual sorting and pre-opening plastic bags consumed costly labor and slowed throughput. The client had no strict demand for fine particle size — coarse shredding (breaking) was their primary goal.

They needed a robust Clothes Shredder / fabric shredder solution that could:

1. Take in large, irregular bundles (even plastic-bagged waste) without jamming

2. Operate reliably under heavy load, with minimal downtime

3. Be serviced locally, with spare parts ready

4. Deliver high throughput to match their business scale

Project Journey & On-site Demonstration

To earn their trust, we invited the customer to visit ENERPAT’s U.S. office. We emphasized our local after-sales support, spare parts inventory in the U.S., and quick response capability — the client was impressed. We even escorted them through our U.S. warehouse and demo floor, where they asked many technical questions about maintenance, blade replacement cost, overheating risk, etc. We answered each in detail, building confidence.

Next, we conducted a live material test using the customer’s own waste textile—one full bag, still in plastic bag packaging, un-opened and un-sorted. We simply dropped it into the shredder, and the machine shredded it smoothly, with no jamming or hesitation. The client raised a thumbs up — this was exactly the robustness they needed.

After confirming the demand, we issued a quote. Because time was urgent, they first purchased one MSB-E1200 dual shaft shredder from our U.S. stock; they also planned to add a conveyor from our China factory (which has since been received). Furthermore, to avoid manual unpacking of plastic-bagged materials, they ordered a downstream sorting/separation system to automatically extract plastic packaging from the shredded output.

Today, the system is fully operational. The client reports excellent performance, praising both the speed of delivery and the speed of installation.

Solution Details & Machine Highlights

The client chose the ENERPAT MSB-E1200 model, ideal for their throughput scale and material mix. This Double Shaft Shredder (also known as twin shaft or two shaft shredder) is versatile enough to handle all common textile waste streams:

• Denim waste

• Upholstery fabric

• Carpet waste

• Nonwoven waste

• Leather / synthetic leather

• Thick industrial fabrics, canvas, filters

  
  

Key technical advantages we emphasized:

• Low-speed, high-torque shear principle — high shred efficiency, lower noise and less heat buildup

• Modular, heavy-duty welded box structure with robust mortise-tenon panel design for long life and easy maintenance

• Hexagonal shaft ends and anti-winding stationary knives, plus detachable rotor knives

• Premium bearings (FAG / SKF) for durability and shock absorption

• Imported high-strength blades that resist wear; when worn, blades can be refurbished via surfacing

• Reliable drive system: Siemens motors and Bonfiglioli gearboxes — stable, low vibration, low energy loss

• Intelligent control via Siemens/Schneider PLC: one-click operation, overload auto-reverse, no-load auto-stop

The MSB-E1200 sits between ENERPAT’s models in capacity and configuration: motor options range (in your case) to match throughput needs. (Refer to ENERPAT’s Two Shafts Shredder specs.)

Waste Textile Context in Las Vegas / U.S. Trends

To underscore the urgency of effective textile recycling:

According to EPA data, in 2018 the U.S. generated ~17 million tons of textile waste — about 5.8% of total municipal solid waste.

• Only about 14.7% of those textiles were recycled; the rest largely ended in landfills.

• A recent GAO report notes textile waste in the U.S. has grown over 50% from 2000 to 2018, driven in part by fast fashion, limited sorting systems, and immature recycling tech.

• At the state level, Nevada’s recycling rate in 2023 was about 20.34%, short of the 25% goal.

• In Las Vegas, textile waste is estimated to represent about 6% of materials entering landfills — roughly 26 million pounds annually in some reports.

These figures highlight the sweeping scale of wasted textiles and the opportunity (and necessity) for local processing capacity. By deploying a robust clothes shredder, the client not only solves their internal pain points — but also contributes to the region’s circular economy.

Customer Feedback & Impact

• The client repeatedly praised fast delivery, installation speed, and machine reliability.

• They confirmed that the machine handled mixed waste bundles (even bagged input) seamlessly, eliminating pre-sorting labor.

• Their throughput now meets the 6–8 t/h target with stable uptime and lower operational stress.

• The automated sorting downstream is helping them eliminate plastic packaging from output, further boosting efficiency.

• Overall, their satisfaction is high — they regard ENERPAT’s U.S. support structure and responsiveness as a key differentiator.
