It seems you are asking about a 30kW Shredder Blower. This is a high-powered industrial component typically used in waste management, recycling, or material handling systems.

Here is a breakdown of what a 30kW Shredder Blower is, its specifications, common applications, and selection criteria.

What it is

A 30kW Shredder Blower is not a single machine, but usually one of two things:

1. A combined Shredder & Blower unit: A machine that first shreds material (e.g., wood, paper, light plastics) and then uses an integrated centrifugal fan to blow the shredded material through ductwork to a collection point or storage silo.
2. A standalone Heavy-Duty Blower: The fan/motor unit that is attached after a shredder to pneumatically convey the output material.

Key Specifications for a 30kW Unit

• Power: 30 kW (roughly 40 HP).
• Airflow: Typically between 5,000 to 12,000 m³/h depending on the impeller design and pressure.
• Pressure: Often a High Pressure (HP) or Medium Pressure fan.

  Static Pressure range: 1,500 to 4,000 Pa (6 to 16 inches w.g.).

• Impeller: Usually radial or paddle-blade design to handle debris and dust without clogging.
• Material: Heavy-duty steel (often abrasion-resistant or lined) to withstand impact.

Common Applications

• Woodworking: Moving wood chips, shavings, and sawdust from a chipper or hammer mill.
• Paper & Cardboard Recycling: Shredding cardboard and blowing it into a containment area.
• Plastic Recycling: Chopping plastic bottles/containers and transporting the flake.
• Biomass Processing: Handling chipped branches, leaves, and green waste.
• Document Destruction (Industrial): Conveying shredded paper bails or loose material.

Safety & Selection Considerations

Because this is a 30kW system (high power), safety is critical.

1. Explosion Protection: The most important factor. 30kW fans can generate a spark if metal hits the impeller.
   • Look for: A Vent (explosion relief panel) and ductwork rated for your material (e.g., combustible dust standards like ATEX, NFPA 68).
2. Material Handling Fan vs. Air Moving Fan:
   • A standard HVAC fan will fail in minutes if hit by shredded wood.
   • You need a Radial Paddle or Industrial Exhauster fan with a thick, reinforced wheel.
3. Motor Type:
   • Usually a TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) or TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air Over) motor.
   • VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) compatible is common to control the material velocity.

Example of a System Component

If you are buying only the blower (not the shredder), you are likely looking for a 30kW Centrifugal Material Handling Fan.

Typical Model Numbers (examples, not exhaustive):

• American Fan: "CX" or "MSI" series
• Cincinnati Fan: "HP" or "PR" series
• European: "MZHR" or "RNL" series (often used for wood/pneumatic conveying)

Do you need the Shredder + Blower combo?

If you need the complete system, manufacturers often call this a "Grinder Blower" or "Shredder Conveyor". You would specify the material type and feed rate in kg/h.

To give you a more specific answer, please clarify:

1. What material are you moving? (e.g., soft wood, hard plastic, cardboard, green waste?)
2. Is the 30kW for the shredder motor, the blower motor, or the total combined power?
3. What is the required transport distance? (e.g., 10m, 50m, 100m?)
