TANA Shark ET — Electric Stationary Waste Shredder with Diesel Auxiliary | UAE & GCC
The TANA Shark EM is a fully electric mobile waste shredder engineered for industrial recycling facilities, transfer stations, and waste processing operations across the UAE and GCC that demand zero direct emissions, significantly lower noise levels, and the flexibility to move between multiple processing zones or sites without the cost and logistics of diesel fuel. Built on TANA’s globally proven slow-speed single-shaft shredding platform, the Shark EM replaces the conventional diesel engine entirely with dual electric motors delivering the same high torque, robust construction, and reliable continuous operation that TANA Shark is known for worldwide, with substantially lower operating costs and a reduced environmental footprint.
Mounted on a semi-trailer platform, the TANA Shark EM is uniquely positioned among fully electric industrial shredders in the UAE market. It can be repositioned between waste stacks, processing areas, and even between separate sites, eliminating the operational inefficiency of moving waste to a fixed shredder or the capital cost of purchasing multiple machines for different locations. Simply connect to your facility’s power supply or an external power unit and begin shredding.

The TANA Shark EM eliminates the diesel engine entirely, replacing it with two high-performance electric motors that deliver 440 kNm of nominal torque at a controlled maximum rotor speed of 26 RPM. The result is the same high-capacity, high-torque shredding performance as diesel-powered models with zero exhaust emissions, significantly lower noise output, and substantially reduced energy costs. For UAE and GCC facilities operating under environmental compliance requirements or located near populated areas, the Shark EM is the definitive fully electric mobile industrial shredder solution.
Unlike stationary electric shredders, the TANA Shark EM’s semi-trailer platform gives operators the freedom to reposition the machine between different waste stacks, processing areas, and operational zones within a facility or transport it entirely between separate sites. This eliminates both the need to move waste to a fixed shredder and the capital expenditure of purchasing a dedicated shredder for each location, making the Shark EM the most cost-effective fully electric mobile shredder for multi-site recycling and waste management operations across the UAE.
Operating at slow rotor speeds with a fully electric drivetrain, the TANA Shark EM produces significantly lower noise levels than equivalent diesel-powered shredders approximately 6 dB quieter in operational conditions. This makes the Shark EM the preferred mobile electric waste shredder for transfer stations, enclosed recycling facilities, and urban waste processing operations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across the GCC where noise regulations and worker safety standards are closely monitored.
The TANA Shark EM can be powered directly from a facility’s existing electrical supply or connected to an external power unit, giving operators complete flexibility in deployment across different site configurations. Al Shirawi Enterprises technical team provides full site electrical assessment and connection support as part of the commissioning process.
The fully electric drivetrain eliminates engine servicing requirements, oil changes, exhaust system maintenance, and diesel fuel procurement substantially reducing both planned maintenance costs and unplanned downtime events. Combined with TANA’s slow-speed rotor design that extends knife life and reduces mechanical wear, the Shark EM delivers a significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to diesel-powered mobile shredders operating in the UAE market.
The TANA Shark EM’s heavy-duty single-shaft rotor system is built to handle the most demanding and abrasive waste materials encountered across UAE industrial parks, construction sites, and municipal facilities — including mattresses, cables, ragger wire, tyres, and mixed industrial waste that would challenge conventional high-speed shredders. TANA’s intelligent Torque Control System (TCS) continuously monitors rotor load, automatically initiating reverse cycles to clear blockages and protect the machine from overloading and damage caused by non-crushable material.
The TANA Shark EM offers extensive customisation options across knife configurations, screen sizes, and operational settings. Allowing Al Shirawi Enterprises technical team to configure the machine precisely for your specific waste stream, output size requirement, and site conditions across any UAE or GCC location.

Al Shirawi’s field service network covers all seven UAE emirates and key GCC markets including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain — providing rapid-response breakdown support and technical guidance wherever your Shark EM is deployed.
The TANA Shark EM fully electric mobile waste shredder is the preferred industrial shredding solution for recycling facilities, transfer stations, and multi-site waste processing operations across the UAE and GCC that require zero-emission, low-noise, high-torque shredding with the operational flexibility to move between processing zones or multiple locations without the cost and complexity of diesel fuel. The Shark EM processes municipal solid waste for volume reduction and landfill diversion, construction and demolition debris for secondary material recovery, wood waste and pallets for biomass or recycling streams, tyres, cables, mattresses, and mixed industrial and commercial waste with consistent throughput across demanding operational environments. Its semi-trailer mobility and plug-in electric convenience make it equally suited for large-scale UAE industrial parks, enclosed transfer stations, free zone waste management facilities, and multi-site recycling operations where a single high-performance electric mobile shredder must serve multiple locations efficiently and cost-effectively.

The TANA Shark EM is the only fully electric mobile industrial waste shredder on the UAE market mounted on a semi-trailer platform. This means operators can reposition it between waste stacks and processing zones within a facility, or transport it between different sites entirely — combining the zero-emission advantages of electric operation with the deployment flexibility previously only available from diesel-powered mobile shredders.
The Shark EM connects directly to a facility’s existing electrical supply or to an external power unit. Al Shirawi’s technical team conducts a full site electrical assessment and manages all connection requirements as part of the commissioning process, ensuring seamless integration with your UAE facility’s infrastructure.
The TANA Shark EM operates approximately 6 dB quieter than equivalent diesel-powered shredders in operational conditions. This makes it significantly easier to comply with UAE and GCC noise regulations and creates a safer, more comfortable working environment for operators and facility staff.
