Vecoplan to demonstrate its capabilities in shredding technology at LIGNA...

LIGNA, the world’s leading trade fair for the woodworking and wood processing industry, will be held this year in Hanover from 15 to 19 May. Here, for the first time, Vecoplan will be presenting a pre-shredder for pallets and boxes. The machine is equipped with the Vecoplan Smart Center (VSC), which opens the way to additional digital services. Visitors will also get to see other premieres and relaunches – further demonstrations of Vecoplan’s unique expertise.

At its Stand F66 in Hall 25 Vecoplan will give its first live trade-fair demonstration of the Vecoplan Pallet Crusher (VPC). Together with the VHZ wood shredder, it is an efficient means of shredding pallets and boxes in a continuous process. Until now, material centres, distribution centres and DIY stores have had to rely on large, powerful single-shaft shredders for continuous processing of large-volume wooden components. These machines took up a lot of floor space, in contrast to the combined solution consisting of the VHZ and VPC. They also had relatively low throughput, because the bulky load carriers fed to them contained lots of air. With the VPC, bulky parts are broken, not cut. After this pre-shredding they can be reduced even more in size, allowing the throughput to be increased by up to 50 percent as compared to single-shaft shredding. For customers this also means minimum wear. The combination is already very successful on the market.
