Hydraulic Material Feed
An integrated hydraulic pusher moves material towards the rotor to maintain consistent feeding.
Schuko industrial wood shredders are designed for cabinet makers, joinery workshops and woodworking manufacturers that need an efficient way to process timber offcuts, solid wood, MDF, chipboard, pallets and other residual woodworking waste.
The Schuko ZM range of single shaft shredders provides a practical solution for workshops that generate significant volumes of timber and panel-product offcuts. Rather than allowing bulky woodworking waste to consume valuable bin or workshop space, the material can be reduced to a more manageable and consistent size for further handling.
Schuko offers four ZM models to suit different throughput requirements: the ZM 800-K, ZM 900-K, ZM 1000-K and ZM 1300-K. The range combines slow-running rotors, hydraulic material feed, robust all-steel construction and interchangeable screens for controlled output size.
Tuckwell Machinery supplies Schuko woodworking equipment to professional businesses throughout Australia and can assist with machine selection, workshop integration and associated waste handling equipment.
Schuko ZM shredders are built to process common waste materials generated in professional woodworking environments. Their slow-running cutting system combines strong throughput with relatively low noise, while hydraulic feeding maintains pressure against the cutting rotor.

Different screen sizes can be fitted to control the size of the processed material.
Slow-running rotors and high-efficiency motors support economical operation and reduced noise.
Automatic shutdown during idle periods helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
Timber offcuts and sheet-product waste can quickly consume valuable workshop and bin space. A dedicated wood shredder reduces bulky material before it moves to the next stage of the waste-handling process.
Schuko ZM shredders use a powerful cutting rotor and hydraulic feed system to progressively reduce material until it can pass through the installed screen.
The ZM range is designed around common waste streams produced by cabinet makers, joiners, furniture manufacturers and other woodworking operations.
Reduce irregular timber and workshop offcuts.
Suitable for residual solid wood from manufacturing.
Process MDF offcuts generated by cabinetry production.
Suitable for chipboard and particleboard panel waste.
Suitable for processing wooden pallet material.
Reduce mixed residual wood generated in production.

A Schuko wood shredder can form part of a broader workshop waste system rather than operating only as a stand-alone machine.
Depending on your setup, processed material can be transferred to extraction, conveying, storage or further processing equipment.

A wood shredder reduces bulky timber and woodworking waste into smaller material that is easier to handle, store and process.
The range is designed for residual wood, solid timber, MDF, chipboard, pallets and similar woodworking waste.
A single shaft shredder uses one rotating cutting rotor to reduce material while a hydraulic feed system moves waste towards the rotor.
The range includes the ZM 800-K, ZM 900-K, ZM 1000-K and ZM 1300-K.
Yes. MDF and chipboard are among the materials Schuko lists for its ZM shredder range.
