Vecoplan introduces V-Eco shredders

Vecoplan, Archdale, North Carolina, has introduced the V-Eco line of shredders, which the company says feature the latest innovations in size reduction, including VFD inverter drives, “W” rotors embedded with five rows of cutters, single or double rows of bed knives, pneumatic assist drop-down screen carriages, hydraulic lift-up cutting chamber floors and externally adjustable cutting tolerances.

 

VFD inverter drives eliminate gearboxes and fluid couplings, sense tramp metal and stop automatically and match rotor speeds and torque to load volume and material tenacity, according to Vecoplan. 

 

“W” rotors are suitable for flexible, fibrous, rigid and bulky materials, the company says, adding that their optimized cutting geometry delivers processing precision, particle size consistency and maximum throughput while minimizing heat generation.

 

Single or double rows of bed knives are designed to increase the shredding surface area, producing smaller particle sizes to maximize screen throughput volumes and minimize processing time, Vecoplan says.

 

The drop-down screen carriage with pneumatic assist is designed to make screen changes fast and easy and offers quick access to the rotor for cutting insert rotations or replacements and other routine maintenance.

 

Vecoplan says the V-Eco’s hydraulic lift-up cutting chamber floor provides safe and convenient access to the cutting chamber. 

 

Externally adjustable bed knives are designed for fast and easy maintenance of cutting efficiency, particularly on thin, flexible materials, such as films and synthetic fibers, the company says.
