Vecoplan launches new VRZ wood shredder. The machine can even break up and shred wired bales of different materials. The developers placed great emphasis on a robust design.
Martin Baldus, Head of “Industrial Shredding” development at Vecoplan AG says: “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.”
That is why the developers did not equip the rotor with cutting tools but with sickle-shaped ripper teeth. These rip the material apart – the VRZ can even handle wire-wrapped bales reliably. As a result, this extremely powerful machine is also suitable for reprocessing waste wood – for example for the efficient shredding of root bales or entire planks and beams, which often contain tramp materials such as nails.
For the rotors, Vecoplan makes use of the dynamic, high-torque, quick-start HiTorc drives. These have no mechanical components such as belts, clutches or hydraulic units. This means that they require very little maintenance – unlike hydraulic drives.
