Shredder Deep Cleaning Procedure
Introduction
The maintenance and cleaning of the GP20 Hybrid is crucial to avoid material cross contamination or
any performance issues that could arise from dirt, material build-up, or blockages. This document
details the steps needed to carry out a deep cleaning procedure. This can be done directly after
processing a material or as part of a regular maintenance procedure.
This step by step guide is used as an optional addition to the Regular Cleaning Procedure. When
combined, the steps detailed here fit into the Regular Cleaning steps, after the section Cleaning, and
before the section Reassembly.

This document details the steps needed to carry out a deep cleaning procedure. This can be done directly after processing a material or as part of a regular maintenance procedure.
- Page 2 GP20 Hybrid Regular Cleaning These are the steps that are completed before the Shredder Deep Cleaning can start. Below is a quick overview. Machine Machine is already switched OFF and unplugged. 2. 2 front castor wheels with breaks are locked.
- Page 3 GP20 Shredder Deep Cleaning Step by step procedure Deep Cleaning each module can be carried out separately, however it is advised to start with the Shredder module, then continue with the Granulator module afterwards to avoid further contamination. Shredder Disassembly Unscrew 2 bolts holding shredder cover plate completely.
- Page 4 4. Loosen 4 bolts in the corners of the shredder side plate. The plate will stay secure on the axels. Place on the side. 5. Slide off the side plate, and place on the side. 6. Notice that there is a wide bearing on each axle. Slide them off and place them together.
- Page 5 7. There are additional bearings on each axle that have a flared rim. They are called “plain bearing bushes”. Again, slide them off and place them together. 8. Slide off each blade and spacer one by one. It helps to pile them in two stacks without changing their direction.
- Page 6 Cleaning 9. Vacuum in and around the two axles and shredder area. A brush or microfiber cloth can be useful too. 10. Brush off or wipe each blade. Careful with the edges as they can cut. Wear cutproof gloves, if necessary.
- Page 7 Reassembly It is crucial that the blades are reassembled in a very specific pattern. Otherwise, the shredder will not shred properly and might even cause further hardware issues. Blades’ Pattern There are 3 rules to the blades’ assembly: Blades on the left axle rotate clockwise, while blades on the right axle rotate counterclockwise.
- Page 8 Blades’ Reassembly 12. Insert the first blade on the left axle with the tip of a teeth pointing directly up. 13. Insert a spacer on the right axle. 14. Insert the first blade on the right axle with the tip of a teeth pointing directly up. 15.
- Page 9 16. Insert the second blade on the left axle with a teeth slightly to the left of the previous blade. This is easy to align because of the internal notches of the blades. 17. Insert the second spacer on the right axle. 18.
- Page 10 Reassembly continued 20. Slide on the two the plain bearing brushes, one on each axle. Ensure the taller flared side is on the inside. 21. On a flat surface, hold the side plate and insert the two round bearings into the two holes. 22.
- Page 11 23. Screw in 4 corner bolts and tighten thoroughly. Now the side plate is attached and the blades are secure, however they can still move. As a test, you can carefully jiggle the blades by hand and hear a slight clinking. They need to be tightened. 24.
- Page 12 25. Add the new lock nuts to each axle. These can only be screwed in by the wrench as the lock nut will tighten around the thread of the axle. Once again tighten slightly, about a half turn with the wrench.
