Drive Options |
N/A
The Hurricane™ Waste Shredder is available with either a standard hydraulic drive system or the revolutionary electric HiTorc™ Drive developed by Vecoplan®. HiTorc™ Drives Offer:
|
Access Doors |
N/A Vecoplan®'s unique design allows for easy access to the cutting chamber for removal of foreign material via dual access doors, or shutters, which are hydraulically operated. Electrical and mechanical interlocks insure maximum safety. Foreign material can be removed with a full hopper, eliminating the need to empty the hopper to clear the foreign material. The doors also allow direct access to wear items, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. |
Replaceable Cutters |
N/A Unique in the industry, Vecoplan®'s replaceable cutter design minimizes downtime and maintenance costs. Cutters can be replaced or rotated by loosening two bolts. A complete cutting tool exchange can be performed in about two hours. Conventional shredders require extensive downtime, welding and maintenance expense just to maintain cutters. |
Pre-Shredders |
N/A
When it comes to large recycling, alternative fuel prep and destruction applications, it's all about throughput and reliability, and our pre-shredders are built for both. We pre-shred and separate almost anything and have the least downtime and operating costs in the industry. Treated and untreated C and D debris such as wood, gypsum, paper, wiring, asphalt, ceramics, masonry, concrete, glass, and metal can all be sorted at the source or centrally at the MRF. Wood can be shredded for a wide array of uses; landfill cover, fuel, compost, etc. All components of MSW collected can be pre-shredded with the Hurricane™ for various alternative energy applications. |
Counter Knife |
N/A Hurricane™ Shredders feature a counter knife positioned in-between the dual cutting rotors and bolted to the bed of the cutting chamber. The cutters on both rotors mesh precisely with the sharp serrated edges of the counter knife. This provides a smaller, much more consistent shredded particle size than traditional shredding. It also provides quick and easy replacement when they wear out, unlike shredding tables that require time consuming and costly resurfacing. |
Additional Information |
N/A In addition to its RDF prep systems, Vecoplan® has the unique advantage of extensive shredding experience in most recycling, alternative energy and destruction applications found within our collected waste streams. Some of these applications include unsorted MSW processing, transfer stations, MRFs, multi-material and Single Stream Recycling, biomass, compost, wood waste from industry, C&D, plastics, paper, electronics and many specialized waste streams. From municipalities and cruise ships to Fortune 500 companies and entire industries - shredding is Vecoplan®'s specialty! From unique and proven shredding designs to award-winning developments in ferrous, non-ferrous, density and size separation and classification technologies, Vecoplan® offers the most suitable systems available. |
