At Ecomondo, the international trade fair for material and energy recovery that will be November 7 -10 November in Rimini, Italy, Germany-based Vecoplan AG will present its VEZ 2500 T high-performance shredder and other products. The machines in this series are used to produce fuels from packaging material as well as from production, sorting, domestic and industrial waste. The fuels can be used in cement works and power plants.

Vecoplan will display a selection of its single-shaft shredders at Stand 013 in pavilion A2. The shredders in the VEZ 2500 T series are efficient and robust, according to Vecoplan. Their consistently high throughput and homogeneous output quality make them profitable to operate, the company adds.

Each machine is equipped with a HiTorc drive with a capacity of 247 kilowatts. The drives have no mechanical components, such as belts, clutches or hydraulic units. As a result, they don’t have to move as much mass and can operate with high efficiency, Vecoplan says. Moreover, unlike hydraulic drives, they require little maintenance.

Vecoplan offers the VEZ 2500 T with 144 or 216 knives. The machines in this series can achieve a throughput of 10 to 12 metric tons per hour or 12 to 15 metric tons, respectively.

The VAZ 110 XL single-shaft shredder also will be shown at the trade fair. One version features a rotor diameter of 370 millimeters (14.5 inches), a material outlet of 1,075 millimeters (42 inches) and a height of 1,100 millimeters (43 inches). This makes it a durable and sturdy single-shaft shredding solution for wood processing companies, Vecoplan says.
