Orange County, California — A leading pharmaceutical company based in Orange County has successfully installed an advanced heavy-duty twin-shaft industrial cardboard shredder from ENERPAT to handle its large volume of printed packaging waste. The installation addresses both the pressing need to destroy company logos and confidential pharmaceutical printing, and to manage waste volumes more efficiently.
The Client's Challenge
The customer generates substantial amounts of cardboard packaging — including pharmaceutical product boxes, printed cartons with logos, medication names and other sensitive information. These materials arrive in varying sizes and formats, making manual handling inefficient. Prior to the solution, the company simply bagged these boxes and stored them, consuming valuable floor space and leaving the logos and printed information intact. With regulations tightening around data and branding security, the company was keen to prevent any reverse-engineering risk or inadvertent disclosure of sensitive branding or product information.
Why the Need for an Industrial Cardboard Shredder?
In Orange County, estimates show the annual generation of corrugated cardboard in the region is in the order of approximately 132,000 tons. Many of these cartons stem from manufacturing, packaging, logistics and retail operations, and among them a substantial portion carry printed logos, pharmaceutical branding and regulatory information. Managing this volume with standard recycling practices often leaves logo and print intact, which poses a compliance and brand-risk challenge.
The pharmaceutical company thus needed a shredding solution built for high throughput, essential branding / print destruction, and minimal downtime. They required a machine specifically designed for paper and cardboard shredding, able to handle the irregular sizes and ensure irreversible destruction of sensitive printing.
ENERPAT's Solution
After a thorough review of pain-points and onsite consultation, ENERPAT recommended the MSB-E500 double shaft industrial cardboard shredder. Key features of the machine include:
Twin‐shaft (double shaft) design providing high torque with low speed, ideal for robust cardboard cutting.
A 15 kW motor, 500 mm length shredding chamber, and rugged structure built for heavy-duty paper and cardboard shred applications.
Euro-CE certification and German/Italian premium components (FAG/SKF bearings, Siemens motor, Bonfiglioli gearbox) ensure long life and dependable parts availability.
Intelligent PLC control system (Siemens/Schneider) with one‐touch operation, automatic reverse on overload, and auto‐stop when feed is empty, reducing maintenance needs and downtime.
Implementation & Local Support
ENERPAT's U.S. subsidiary invited the customer to their U.S. warehouse in Orange County for a live demonstration and inspection of the machine. The local team underscored the rapid parts availability, local service responsiveness and the fact that ENERPAT maintains a parts depot and service team in Orange County. The customer's questions—ranging from blade replacement intervals and costs, machine overheating protection, to maintenance scheduling—were all addressed satisfactorily.
In a live material test using the customer's actual waste cardboard (printed pharma cartons of varying sizes), the MSB-E500 handled the feed without any jams or delays, yielding shredded output that met the company's destruction requirements. The customer gave the team a thumbs-up, validating both performance and the local service promise. Since installation, the machine has been operating smoothly and has now become a local demonstration (sample) point for other industries in the region.
Business Impact & Key Benefits
Space & volume reduction: Instead of bagging and storing boxes, the shredded material takes up significantly less space and is easier to handle or bale for recycling.
Logo/print destruction: The twin shaft shredder ensures that printed logos, medication names and corporate identifiers are physically destroyed, eliminating brand risk, downstream reuse risk, and aiding compliance.
Operational continuity: With local service and support in Orange County, maintenance is streamlined, parts are locally available, and downtime risk is greatly reduced.
Sustainability and waste-stream optimization: By converting the waste cardboard into shredded bundles, the company can integrate with recycled fibre streams more efficiently while complying with local disposal policies.
Low cost of ownership: Imported high‐strength cutting blades, repairable by overlay welding, reduce replacement frequency and cost.
Smart control: Fully sequenced PLC controls allow safe operation, protect against overheating or idle-feed damage, and make the system operator-friendly.
