Vecoplan launches new shredder and pre-shredder products for waste wood

Germany: Vecoplan has launched the VRZ 2500 shredder and the VPC 1600 pre-shredder, which can be combined with the VHZ single-shaft shredder.

The new addition to the VRZ series is intended for recycling and reprocessing waste wood. The unit is equipped with sickle-shaped ripper teeth and is intended for minimal maintenance through the use of HiTorc direct drives. The drives have a capacity of 2 x 138kw and are resistant to tramp materials. They are also dynamic, offering improved start-up and reversing behaviour. “During the development of the new VRZ series shredder, we placed great emphasis on making it robust, resistant to intrusive materials, reliable and low-maintenance,” said Martin Baldus, Head of Industrial Shredding development at Vecoplan.

The VPC 1600 is a pre-shredder intended for use with voluminous objects and bulky wooden items such as pallets. Notably, the new version of this product can be combined with the VHZ single-shaft shredders (VHZ 1600 and VPC 1600) to increase throughput by up to 50% and to save space. With its working width of 1600mm, the 800mm-high VPC is designed to fit exactly onto the VHZ with a sliding frame connecting the shredder and the pre-shredder. The VPC is permanently fixed during operation but it is designed to be moved at other times if an operator has to change the counter-knives in the shredder. The filler port of the new pre-shredder measures 1605 x 1605mm and the drive power is 2 x 9.2kw. Sixteen counter-crushers have been integrated into the machine and it also has two independently running rotors, each with a speed of ten revolutions per minute.
