Dual Shaft Twin Shredder
Barclay Intermediate Tire Shredder Overview:
After the first pass of whole tires through a 4.9P, primary shreds enter the 3.8P twin-shaft or intermediate shredder. A Classifier can be placed behind the 3.8P to recirculate oversized pieces for a guaranteed nominal product.
For larger recyclers looking to maximize output and tonnage per hour, the Top Feed 3.8” Intermediate Shredder paired with the Through-Feed 4.9” Primary Shredder will reduce the tires to the needed size at much quicker speeds and high tonnage volumes. A 2S Secondary Shredder runs most efficiently behind the 3.8P Intermediate Shredder taking the smaller feedstock and producing fuel chips.
- Intermediate Role: Furthering size reduction while maintaining high volume throughput in shredder line
- Max Feedstock Size: Rough Shreds discharging from Primary Shredder ahead of it
- Output Strip Sizes: 3.8″ cuts
- Feed Configurations: Top load with removable hopper
Sharing the same chassis and overbuilt engineering as our Primary Shredders, the 3.8P Intermediate Tire Shredders are built to process high volumes of scrap tires with maximum efficiency and minimal downtime, integrated into a full multi-stage processing line for maximum throughput and efficient size reduction with every cut. Barclay machines deliver the rugged shearing power required for the most demanding recycling operations.
Why Choose the Barclay Dual-Shaft Twin Shredder
Barclay is the partner of choice for tire recyclers across the globe. Our products deliver the lowest cost per ton to buy, operate, and maintain.
Applications for Intermediate Dual-Shaft Shredders by Barclay Include
Secondary chipper shredders and downstream granulators require small feedstock to run most efficiently. To prevent bottlenecks further down the line, the 3.8P Intermediate further reduces chip size to feed the next shredder in line.
TDA and Civil Engineering Chips – After a single pass through a 4.9P Primary Shredder and 3.8P, the majority of product will be in the acceptable TDA range. Guarantee a nominal product with a daisy wheel classifier behind your Intermediate Shredder.

Key Engineering Features & System Components
Rotating Strippers
Rotating strippers continuously clean the cutting chambers to ensure proper material flow and prevent blockages. With this innovative design, you no longer have to deal with stuck tire shreds and spending valuable time replacing wear plates. Barclay’s rotating strippers maximize material throughput resulting in a more efficient operation. High volumes of re-shredding without clogging or jams. The shreds are being cleanly cut and neatly ejected from the cutting chamber.
Gravity Fed with Removable Hopper
Top Feed Hopper funnels primary shreds into cutting chamber for maximum throughput. Hopper is removable for easy access to cutting chamber for inspection and maintenance.
Heavy Duty #100 Chain with Adjustable Chain Tensioners
Rotating stripper shafts come with adjustable chain tensioning slack adjustors which are both easy to adjust and require virtually no shredding downtime.
C-Faced Motor, Gearbox and Drive Train Protection
Barclay 3.8 shredders come standard with a premium SEW-Eurodrive helical-bevel gearmotor that connect to a shear coupling system with replaceable failure point shear pins to protect each shredder from shock loading.
All shredders come fully wired and ready to accept line connection with simple and easy-to-use controls to move the shredder forward or to jog it back, as well as a large, easily pressed emergency stop button.
