Shredder Front Waste

Run at full speed, eliminate front-waste jams, and boost productivity by up to 15%.

No More Slowdowns

One front-waste jam can bring your entire production line to a halt. The Shredder Front Waste eliminates that risk—and unlocks the full speed potential of your MASTERCUT SPO.

Traditional pre-cutting knives require machine slowdowns to avoid damaging gripper bars. By removing those knives and installing the BOBST-certified Shredder Front Waste, your machine runs at maximum capacity—up to 7,000 sheets per hour—without compromise.

Why This Matters

Hit Full Speed

  • Reach up to 7,000 sheets per hour.
  • Make theoretical speed a reality by eliminating the slowdowns required by traditional pre-cutting knives.

Forget Front-Waste Jams

  • The BOBST-interfaced certified shredder guarantees flawless waste evacuation, preventing jams on production conveyors and suction lines.

Cut Operational Costs

  • No more cutting front waste with cutting knives.
  • Streamline your process and reduce unnecessary handling. 

Fast Payback

  • ROI in less than a year through increased throughput and eliminated downtime.

  • Remove pre-cutting knives entirely. 
  • Install the frontal waste shredder for optimized evacuation.
  • Run at full machine potential—up to 7,000 sheets per hour. 
  • Zero slowdowns, zero compromises on speed.
