Cresswood Shredding Machinery Unveils Innovative “Dura-Glide” Roller Ram Design for Wood, Plastic and Paper Shredders, Delivering Major Efficiency and Cost Savings.

Cortland, IL – July, 18, 2025 – Cresswood Shredding Machinery, a leading innovator in wood, plastic, and paper size-reduction technology, proudly announces the launch of its newly engineered “Dura-Glide” Roller Ram System, a breakthrough in grinder design aimed at maximizing performance, reducing maintenance, and lowering total cost of ownership.

This cutting-edge roller ram replaces the traditional sliding-style ram on our larger machines, addressing long-standing industry challenges. By integrating precision-engineered rollers, the new design drastically reduces sliding friction—resulting in smoother operation and increased material throughput.

Key benefits of the new “Dura-Glide” Roller Ram design include:

Increased Process Efficiency – The reduction in sliding friction allows for faster and more consistent material feeding, significantly boosting grinder productivity and efficiency.

Reduced Downtime and Maintenance – The roller mechanism minimizes component wear, extending service intervals and reducing unplanned downtime.

Lower Cost of Ownership – Enhanced durability and reduced maintenance needs directly translate to long-term cost savings for operators.

Extended Hydraulic System Life – Reduced resistance leads to lower hydraulic pressures and temperatures, improving the reliability and lifespan of hydraulic components.
