The Vecoplan® VTH-VU Series™ horizontal shredders, or wood grinders as this industry has come to know them, are designed especially for size reduction of wood strips, edge rippings, slabs, and all long wood scrap, as well as lineal plastic scrap such as siding and vinyl window profiles.

The VTH-VU Series™ family contains six different models, ranging from 40 to 125 hp. Infeed widths range from 12 in to 33 in. Larger custom models are available in some styles. Each machine comes complete with a pre-wired control panel and 16 ft vibration conveyor for infeed of the feedstock. Multiple feed rollers grip material coming from the conveyor and advance the material into the cutting rotor. 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.
