Others have asked, but what are you shredding? I will be changing the 56 teeth on our timber shredder soon.
Mainly timber but thin metal possibly too..

Is that 2.2 or 22?The machine itself will be constructed from 20mm mild steel and powered by a 2.2 kw motor.
can you transport the sheet ?
have a look at companies in the blackburn area
WECjet advertise waterjet cutting upto 200mm thickness including armour plate
northwestwaterjet.co.uk in chorley and runcorn
aquacut in knutsford
no connection with any of these above
tec-mat convertors in maclesfield ( whch a company i used to work for, sent stuff materials to for cutting services 14 year ago )
3hp sound a little low for a shredder
I would go 5160 for the blades
^^^ Yes I thought if he got a finger stuck it could be quite uncomfortable
More, narrower blades might prevent that 'just waiting' moments? Like this.....
Hi mike. I used to do relgular reclaim work on a big shedder in Bournemouth. The knifes as we called them were nothing particularly hard but they were tough. After a few tonnes of sh.... had been shredded through them the points would break off a bit and the back curve would wear. We’d spend a day simply building them back up and profiling with a grinder. Not difficult but the money was awesome as it was weekend stop away brass and we had a few good nights out in Bournemouth. Anyway my point is I don’t think hardox is necessary for this. I think you could happily get away with a higher strength steel and then clad the knive edges and points in something with great impact properties.
I’ve just seen this and I think what I’m suggesting is rather overkill. I’d still adopt a decent steel and perhaps run over them with a bit of harder tig filler and blend to suit. You’ll probably find with card board and plastics on a tiny scale it lasts years.300mm x 250mm ish.
