Vecoplan Introduces VST-32i Mobile Shredding System

Archdale, N.C.-based Vecoplan LLC, a manufacturer of mobile shredding systems for the secure information destruction industry, has announced plans to exhibit and demonstrate its new VST-32i Mobile Document and Product Destruction System at the 2006 NAID Annual Conference in Phoenix May 14-16 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa.  

“The VST-32i is the result of several years of R & D, field study and real-world experience,” according to a press release from Vecoplan. “This high-performance edition of the popular Vecoplan VST-32 mobile destruction system offers higher throughput capacity, faster reaction times, payload enhancements, ease of operation and maintenance, and a new level of reliability.” Vecoplan’s VST-32i features a more efficient hydraulic system, redesigned payload compaction system and enhanced controls and programming compared to the company’s VST-32 model.

Vecoplan National Sales Manager – Mobile Technologies Robb Espinosa, says, “Although not a dramatically new and different model, the development of the i-machine falls right in line with the 2006 NAID Conference theme, which offers ideas for taking your shredding business to the next level. Plus, the high-performance version of the VST-32 retains all of the important features that Vecoplan pioneered a few years back. Incorporation of the single-shaft shredder, live-floor discharge, unsurpassed controls interface, lightweight composite body—all of this lives on with the VST-32i,” he adds.

The features retained from Vecoplan’s BST-32 model shredding truck are the Lock ‘N Load universal bin lifter (built exclusively for Vecoplan by Toter), the Transonite composite body (by Martin Marietta Composites), the EasyGlide loading enclosure, the 4400 Navistar International chassis, and the SureTrac live floor.

“Instead of rushing a radically new and unproven product to market at NAID, we decided to address the things the market has been asking for on our popular VST-32: enhanced performance, reliability and versatility,” Len Beusse, Vecoplan COO, says. “We certainly see the need to expand our mobile product line to both larger and smaller shredding trucks; however, the Vecoplan philosophy has always been to focus on fully developing an original model before introducing even newer models. With the VST-32i, we feel we have now optimized the original and will soon move on to new models,” he adds.

Vecoplan is a manufacturer of industrial shredding and recycling solutions for mobile and plant-based applications. More information on the company and the VST-32i are available at www.vecoplanllc.com.
