A common model of compost shredder consists of a self feeding spiral blade system. It automatically draws in the shredding material and revolves. This model has a reverse running and blockage release system. The material undergoes heavy crushing, producing small chippings. This allows micro organisms and oxygen to accelerate the composting process.

Most advanced compost shredders reduce manual feed time and increase throughput.

They have a micro shredder cutting system. The system can cut branches, twigs and leaves in uniform consistency. Finer shreddings are also great for mulching. Most advanced compost shredders can work with both wet and dry materials.
