Additional Information

N/A Many of the VTH-Series™ Drum Chippers are available with optional cutting rotor designs. If a larger and rougher particle size is acceptable, many of the VTH-Series™ models are available with the patented TorsionPoint™ “U”-Rotor™. Vecoplan® has used this rotor in its vertical shredders since 1983 and is the preferred shredding method used in industry today. The standard cutting rotor design is a precision granulator or drum chipper rotor in 2 to 4-knife configurations in a moderately open design. The knife rotor turns at moderate RPM and utilizes sharp knives similar to conventional granulator or chipper blades. A unique clamping system secures the knives in place and affords many sharpening intervals. When a small and uniform granulate or chip is needed, the knife rotor is suggested. In the wood industry, Vecoplan® has been producing high quality drum chippers since 1969.

While durability and extremely low maintenance are highly valuable benefits of the VTH-Series™, they pale in comparison to the performance it delivers. The unique design and resulting efficiencies contribute to both a lower purchase price and lower subsequent operating costs.

While often used in wood recycling, referring to the Vecoplan® VTH Series Drum Chipper as just a “wood recycle machine” is a misnomer, in that a powerful drum chipper is equal to other machines in a plant’s production system. Used directly in the production line in sawmills for evacuation and wood waste recycling, the Vecoplan® VTH Series Drum Chippers produce high quality chips for the production of chipboard, paper, wood pulp, and fuel. In short - a large capacity wood chipper produces revenue.
