Vecoplan AG Presents EBS High Performance Shredder at Conference

Vecoplan AG unveiled its EBS high-performance shredder at the recently held Entsorga meeting in Cologne, Germany. The company notes that after significant tests, the V-EBS shredder should meet the demands required by shredding equipment.

The shredder provides a high throughput, a consistent granulate with few fines and almost no excess lengths, low energy requirements, low wear costs, low maintenance, and high availability.

The shredder also has the following features: 

Two HiTorc synchronous electric motors with a total of 406 kW drive capacity

12.5 metric ton heavy solid steel rotor with high mass moment of inertia (centrifugal moment) of more than 1,250 kgm2

High unit weight of approximately 29,000 kg

Low rotor speed (infinitely selectable between approx. 150 and 250 rpm)

Continuous, complete feeding via a load-dependent controlled chain floor

A rotor with the option of toothed or block blades in 4 or 6 rows

Two counter knives

A large screen surface.

The use of the Vecoplan-patented HiTorc drive dispenses with the need for a belt drive, hydraulic coupling, slip clutch and/or gears. This has the result that the drive requires almost no maintenance.

The counter knives can be multiply adjusted by the user with the body in a relaxed posture without opening the unit and when the rotor is running. They are easily accessible thanks to rollable counter knife crossbars.

The quadruple-mode rotor blades are robust and deal efficiently with extraneous materials; the identically constructed counter knife crossbars are screwed in and easy to replace.

The rotor can be replaced without dismantling the bearings and motors.

The screen hole edges can be used on both sides.

“Vecoplan has been active and a market leader in shredding technology worldwide for 40 years. With the new high-performance shredder we are not just showing once more what is possible with the latest technological advances. More than that, we are offering the recycling industry a shredder which is perfectly tailored to the needs of our customers. Energy efficient, cost-efficient and high performance,” said Irene Scheidweiler, Vecoplan’s sales director.
