Shredders
Whilst all of these are crucial, practical purchase decisions, there are some wider things that are equally important. Red Knight 6 (RK6) are the distributors in England and Wales for EDGE Innovate, manufacturers of the market leading VS420 slow speed shredder. “Of course, the machine is important, along with price, but we believe demonstrations play a key role, we want people to see machines in action,” says Paul Donnelly, Managing Director of RK6. “In addition, machines are only as good as the backup offered. We pride ourselves on our service and back up and whenever we take on a new partner, we ensure the partner can live up to that as well. This is particularly true of EDGE Innovate.”
The VS420, developed for ultimate versatility, is a high- capacity machine, capable handling an array of materials including green waste, MSW, C&D waste, biomass, and end of life tyres. Developed for ultimate versatility and with a high resistance to contaminants there are a number of customisable shredding programmes and chamber configurations available. An intelligent operating
system which incorporates tramp metal protection provides the ultimate protection from contaminants and prevents asset damage.
At the heart of the VS420 are twin synchronised, high torque shredder shafts which can be customised to suit a customer’s exact application and desired product piece size. EDGE’s twin shaft design provides exceptional material intake, ensures less wear, promotes self-cleaning and prevents material wrapping even in the toughest of applications. With a range of both rapid volume reduction and intricate piece sizing.
The intelligent management system allows optimal performance, combined with large slow speed reversing shafts leads to reduced noise, power consumption and maintenance costs. The Status Link system allows for quick and simple communication to the operator via easy-to-understand lighting that will update on the performance of the machine and whether loading should continue or pause for any reason.
