Vecoplan AG is expanding its VEZ single-shaft shredder series with the new VEZ 3300 model, which for the first time will be offered not only as a stationary unit but also in a mobile version. The manufacturer indicates that this is a response to growing demand for flexible solutions in the processing of alternative fuels and in other areas of waste management. The machine is intended primarily for the homogeneous production of alternative fuels, including the shredding of municipal and industrial waste. It is also designed for shredding used wood and for operation in the biomass sector. These are applications in which a particularly wide variety of materials is processed, while high power and stable operation are required. As explained by Vecoplan product manager Joschua-Noah Berger, further development of the machine focused in particular on maintaining its established robustness and high throughput, while at the same time simplifying the process of preparing the unit for operation. "High power is required in all of these applications. In the further development of our machine, we placed particular emphasis on maintaining its established robustness and high throughput, while also designing the machine so that it can be made ready for use by the customer quickly and easily."
Mobile version with plug-and-play function
The new feature in the series is the VEZ 3300 e-mobil model. According to the manufacturer, the decision to develop a mobile version is intended to allow users to operate the machine at different locations and with greater operational flexibility. Based on the information provided, the unit does not require earthworks or foundations, as it can be set up and commissioned in a plug-and-play configuration. This is intended to shorten commissioning time and simplify use in practice.
In terms of design, the mobile version is similar to the stationary variant, but it has been equipped with a newly developed crawler system responsible for the machine's mobility. The control system has also been adapted accordingly. In addition, a folding conveyor belt is intended to facilitate transport of the unit.
The new VEZ 3300 model is available for the first time in a mobile version as well.
The same throughput in both variants
Both the stationary and mobile versions are intended to offer identical throughput. According to the company, both machines can process a wide range of materials while also providing a broad selection of particle sizes and throughput of up to 80 tonnes per hour. Both variants use the energy-efficient HiTorc drive technology. The manufacturer describes the electric drive as a particularly efficient solution with virtually no wear.
One of the additional technical features is an automatically adjustable counter knife, which can be optionally integrated into both the stationary and mobile machines. This solution eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the required cutting gap, as this parameter is set automatically. According to the manufacturer, this is intended to ensure a constant output particle size.
Both the mobile and stationary versions of the new VEZ 3300 model are equipped with state-of-the-art features.
Focus on easy integration into the process
Vecoplan emphasises that the new VEZ 3300 and VEZ 3300 e-mobil models were developed as solutions for demanding shredding applications while reducing installation and service requirements. This is intended to translate into easier operation and consistently high process quality. As Joschua-Noah Berger points out, the company's goal is to deliver not only advanced technology but also solutions that can be easily integrated into the user's processes. "Our customers should receive not only first-class technology, but also solutions that can be easily integrated into their processes. That is exactly what the new VEZ 3300 offers, regardless of whether it is the stationary or the mobile version."
