VHD 1600 T: This new shredder from Vecoplan handles hard-to-shred plastics, such as polyamide, polyoxymethylene, PET and cast PA 6.
What's new? Beefed-up construction. This single-shaft shredder carries many enhancements from the VAZ 1600 XL on which it is based, including a drive of up to 155 kilowatts. Almost all components have been re-engineered to be more robust. It has a thick-walled, ribbed machine housing, reinforced side walls and stronger base designed for reliable operation and maximum service life. The cutting unit has been optimized with a large-diameter rotor and fitted with hardened, concave tools, and the solid cross-bar has hardened counter knives.
Benefits: The ability to handle tougher materials. With the design changes, the VHD 1600 T has a longer service life than the VAZ 160 XL and is easier to maintain. Also, it produces less heat and saves energy while offering high throughput. The shredder develops high torque with less shaking and vibration than units that have a gearbox, belts and couplings.
