VRZ – Pre-shredder ripping system

Demanding and reliable – the VRZ seeks the challenge

The VRZ twin-shaft shredder is characterised above all by its rotor: Instead of conventional cutting tools, it is equipped with sickle-shaped ripping teeth. This enables the machine to break up and shred even bulky materials safely. The developers have placed great emphasis on a robust design.
Little maintenance is required - and if it is, it is done quickly.

VRZ – Pre-shredder ripping system

For continuous operation in demanding applications

The new Vecoplan VRZ 2500 waste shredder is designed for tough, continuous operation in recycling and waste-processing facilities. Its rugged double-shaft rotor system rips the input material – a highly efficient means of reducing inhomogeneous waste into sortable shapes and sizes for extraction of recyclable materials, power generation or further processing. The output is suitable for storage and transport.

The highlights of the VRZ - Pre-shredder ripping system

State-of-the-art Vecoplan technology

Our HiTorc drive has no mechanical components like belts, gear wheels, flywheels or clutches. This makes the shredder much more robust and energy-efficient. Major maintenance work is almost totally unnecessary, resulting in significantly lower operating costs and maximising the overall efficiency of the drive. Another positive side-effect of the electric direct drive is its verysilent operation. There is no quieter drive on the market. The most solid cutting table is designed to allow fine waste like stones, sand and small metal parts to fallthrough and be discharged. This minimises wear and tear costs.

Features

The VRZ is characterised above all by the special design of its two rotors: Instead of conventional cutting tools, they are equipped with sickle-shaped ripping teeth.

The modular cutting unit enables rapid replacement of rotors and the cutting table. This significantly reduces downtimes.

Different rotor designs for diverse applications allow individual grain sizes and a high degree of flexibility.

The HiTorc drive is a frequency-controlled, powerful high-torque motor with a variably adjustable speed range that can also start up under load. The virtually maintenance-free and noiseless drive has an energy saving of up to 60% compared to conventional drives.

Waste wood

The processing of waste wood transforms wood waste of various types into a valuable secondary raw material. Besides the recovery of materials, efficient energy recovery is becoming increasingly important as a renewable energy source.

Residual forest wood

Residual forest wood is often the raw material for mulch, but it is also used as animal feed. In addition, it is used as fuel in biomass CHP plants (combined heat & power plants).

Domestic waste

Residual waste is optimally handled by shredding it in mechanical-biological waste treatment plants (MBT) and separating the various recyclable materials from each other. Another use of residual waste is thermal utilisation in a waste incineration plant. The heat released is used both to generate electricity and to provide heat.

Bulky waste

Bulky waste chiefly includes discarded furniture, mattresses, wallpaper remnants and old carpets. Nowadays, most bulky waste can be recycled for materials and energy.

Industrial waste

Commercial municipal waste (also abbreviated to commercial waste) is municipal waste from sources other than private households, in particular commercial and industrial waste as well as waste from private and public institutions. This waste is similar to waste from private households due to its nature or composition and must be disposed of in the same way.

However, commercial municipal waste also includes other production-specific waste from other sources, such as workshop waste, cleaning rags containing mineral oil, paint buckets or non-infectious waste, leather waste, metal waste, including shavings from metalworking and metal processing.

Domestic waste

Typical residual waste from households offers little potential for material recycling. However, in the cement industry, the high-calorific fractions from the waste can be used as an alternative fuel. RDF manufacturers filter out these fractions by shredding and separating them.

Bulky waste

Largely homogeneous RDFs with good combustion and low pollutant properties can be produced, even from bulky waste.

Industrial waste

The non-recyclable materials from waste generated in industry and commerce can be processed into RDFs and used in power plants or the cement industry.

Sorting residues

In sorting plants for light packaging (LVP), the packaging items pass through various packaging items pass through various stations, at each of which a specific fraction of the material is sorted out of the material flow. Pressed into bales, the individual material fractions are then sent for recycling. Waste designation Sorting residues: Sorting residues from facilities for sorting lightweight packaging, so-called DSD sorting residues. These can be processed into alternative fuels in substitute fuel processing plants.

Waste wood, used wood

Wood waste or even old pallets can be used as a renewable raw material for energy production. Effective processing is essential to produce a waste-based RDF.

Biomass

Residual materials are chiefly used as solid biogenic fuels – in other words, biomass that is hardly suitable for purposes other than incineration. For example, these materials include forest and industrial residual wood, waste wood, garden and park waste and straw.
