Optimally adapted wood waste processing

Baetsen Group

For the Netherlands-based Baetsen Group, Vecoplan has designed and implemented a complete solution for the reliable processing of 200,000 tonnes of wood waste each year. Replacing a competitor module with a Vecoplan pre shredder has decreased energy consumption and increased performance considerably.

Requirements

In 2007, Vecoplan designed a system that efficiently shreds and separates large quantities of wood waste and reliably removes extraneous materials. Because the output material needs to meet strict quality standards, the customer attaches great importance to the use of durable and reliably technology.

Solution

The complete system was planned, implemented and upgraded by Vecoplan. The equipment includes a VVZ 3100 pre-shredder and two VAZ 2500 re-shredders as well as the corresponding conveying and screening technology.

Result

The complete switchover to Vecoplan shredding technology increased throughput by 25 percent. The HiTorc drives have also increased energy efficiency. In addition, the customer benefits from homogeneous reusable materials and thus a homogeneous end product.

We are happy with the overall result on every level. What fascinates us is the combination of reliability and performance. Vecoplan implemented a very stable high-tech solution for us, which has paid off.

As our solution provider, Vecoplan has designed and implemented an optimised and complete system for us down to the very last detail. The shredding concept is a complete success in terms of output quality, performance and efficiency. We are very happy with the Vecoplan RDF processing plant. The system has been continuously reliable. The Vecoplan Live Service offers the best support for all ser-vice and maintenance work.

Vecoplan developed individual solutions for fuel feeding and the processing according to customer request. The system runs continuously and generates green energy.
Patrick Meyer , T.B.M.
As Engineering Manager, I was convinced that the slow speed re-shredding offered by Vecoplan, was key to minimising fines production. Vecoplan's solution is also incredibly efficient, thanks to their HiTorc-Drive technology. The entire plant is fully automated and can exceed the specified 60 tph.

For us as system operators, it is important that the system runs ... and it runs.

For us, the protection of the environment as well as the reduction of CO₂ emissions are not just empty phrases but determining factors. Due to Vecoplans conveying system the entire transport route of bark and chips could be relocated in lofty heights above the buildings and streets of Södra – and had been executed to our complete satisfaction.

The launch of the TDS V20 from the Terex & Vecoplan partnership is revolutionising the mobile shredding industry. The Vecoplan VNZ 200 XL H chamber offers the unique combination of medium speed shafts, an accurate cutting action, sizing screens and tramp material protection. Our customers are benefiting from one pass production and minimal fines creation, reducing running costs and maximising profits.
