Our Capabilities
Shredder Control Systems
We build complete ferrous and non-ferrous shredder control systems tailored to your operation, including:
Operator Control Rooms
Custom-built control environments designed for comfort, safety, and durability:
Intelli-Shred™ Co-Pilot™
Our proprietary Intelli-Shred Co-Pilot™ system automatically adjusts feed roll speed and positioning based on the load in the shredder, with minimal operator interaction. Co-Pilot™ can be added to any shredder system and adds:
- Increases shredder efficiency and throughput
- Lowers operator fatigue and cost per ton
- Reduces plugging and mill damage risk
- Simplifies operator training and task management
- Demand-limiting technology lowers energy costs
Intelli-Shred™ Wireless
Our Intelli-Shred Wireless platform, designed in-house by Pinnacle R&D, supports fast, scalable upgrades and easy reconfiguration for future plant expansions.
Power Management
