Vecoplan Introduces V-ECO Shredders

New for 2015, V-ECO shredders feature the latest innovations in size reduction from Vecoplan, the world leader in recycling technologies. Shredders, in the V-ECO series, feature VFD Inverter Drives, “W” Rotors Embedded with 5 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, match rotor speeds and torque to load volume and material tenacity.

“W” Rotors are equally suited for flexible and fibrous, or rigid and bulky materials. The optimized cutting geometry delivers processing precision, particle size consistency, maximum throughput, and minimizes heat generation.

Single or Double Rows of Bed Knives increase the shredding surface area to produce smaller particle sizes which maximizes screen throughput volumes and minimizes processing time.

Drop Down Screen Carriage, with Pneumatic Assist, makes screen changes fast and easy. Plus delivers quick access to the rotor for cutting insert rotations or replacements, as well as other routine maintenance.

Hydraulic Lift-Up Cutting Chamber Floor provides the safest, quickest and most convenient access to the cutting chamber. Just push a button for clean-outs, material changes or tramp metal removal. No bolts, no alignment, no problems.

Externally Adjustable Bed Knives allow for fast and easy maintenance of cutting efficiency, particularly on thin, flexible materials such as films and synthetic fibers.
