Additional Information

N/A The VTH-VU Series™ Horizontal Shredders are available with optional cutting rotor designs. These shredder models are also available with 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. If a larger and rougher particle size is acceptable, the VTH-VU Series™ models are supplied 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. 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-VU 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.

The feed rate is determined by the amperage load that processing places on the cutting rotor, which in turn sends a signal to both the conveyor and the feed rollers for adjustment of the feed rate. Particle size, or chip size, is determined by changeable sizing screens similar to Vecoplan’s vertical shredders.
