Increase Durability and Decrease Maintenance Time with New Shredder

The VAZ 1600, one of Vecoplan’s (USA) New Generation shredders, incorporates a wide range of innovations that improve performance, increase durability and decrease maintenance time. These features and options include: direct drives, double sidewalls, reversible counter knives, hydraulic swing-up screen carriages, rotatable screens, and externally adjustable counter knives.

Direct drives increase torque, eliminate drive belts, lower maintenance costs and decease machine base widths. Double sidewalls reduce wear, eliminate contamination of and heat transfer to bearings, increase durability and lower maintenance costs. Reversible counter knives deliver twice the life while cutting replacement costs in half. Hydraulic swing-up screen carriages provide quick and easy access to rotor for cutter replacements, and ample access to cutting chamber easy cleanout, tramp metal removal, and other routine maintenance. Rotatable screens can be turned 180° increasing wear life by a factor of 1.5. Externally adjustable counter knives allow you to maintain optimal cutting tolerances quickly and easily. This is especially beneficial when shredding thin materials.
