Wood shredder (VHZ)

Energy-efficient shredder for a wide variety of wood waste

Do you want to reliably process chipboard, hardwood and solid wood waste, bark, softwood and even whole pallets into wood chips and briquette-ready material? Our VHZ series of compact and robust single-shaft shredders has been specifically designed to master these tasks. You’ll benefit from low operating costs thanks to energy-efficient drive technology, and in most usage scenarios, you can feed the collected materials directly to the machine without the need for additional feeding systems. Since the rotor turns particularly slowly, it makes little noise or dust during vertical feeding.

Can be used for following material

Wood
Biomass
All

Residual wood

Vecoplan equipment is specialized in processing this material into wood chips and then making it available as a raw material for the paper and board industry, for pellet production or as fuel for wood-burning systems.

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.

Bark

Bark can be thermally recycled as fuel and further processed into bark mulch or bark litter.

Pallets

Disposable pallets, wooden crates and cable drums that can no longer be used can be appropriately prepared for more processing into fuel for energy or wood briquettes.

Wood composites

Modern composite materials preferably used for furniture, benches, outdoor flooring and similar applications.

Straw

Grain straw is used in biogas plants. The material is also used in the form of straw pellets for alternative heat generation. Straw is the primary material used in the production of bioethanol.

Coconut shells

Briquettes made from coconut shells burn longer than wood and can be used in crop-growing countries to replace wood from life-sustaining forests. The material is also suitable for use as a fuel in biomass plants and boiler plants. The fibres in coconut shells have excellent insulating properties and are used to this end.

Grasses

Some grasses, such as miscanthus and switchgrass, are called biomass grasses because of the large amounts of biogas they can produce.

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).

Straw bales

Direct feeding of entire strawballs to shredders for downstream processes in energy and materials recovery offers several advantages. The work of unravelling the strawballs in advance is no longer necessary. Systems for the storage, conveyance and metred feeding round off the product portfolio for processing technology.

Green waste

Green waste is used as co-substrates for soil improvement and is increasingly incinerated for energy in biogas plants. Coarser fractions of wood can also be made into mulch.
