Overview

Alloway's standard center-drive shredder runs a heavy duty tri-lateral steel body, a centrally mounted gearbox that eliminates extra belts and bearings, and spiral mounted flails for smooth, pulse-free operation. Seven cutting widths from 12 to 27 feet. Built in Fargo, North Dakota and supported through the Alloway dealer network.

Why growers pick it

  • Triple shredding action: heavy duty tri-lateral steel body, 1/4 inch thick throughout, for strength and extended wear
  • Centrally mounted gearbox: eliminates extra belts, bearings and u-joints, with extended housing and larger oil capacity for cooler operation
  • Seamless steel flail tube: large 10 inch tube, dynamically balanced, with replaceable end shafts
  • Spiral mounted flails: smooth operation by reducing pulsing

C

Spiral flails on a balanced tube

Large 10 inch seamless steel flail tube, dynamically balanced for smooth operation, with replaceable end shafts. Spiral mounted flails reduce pulsing.

D
