Vecoplan VPC Pre-Crusher
Bulky wood waste such as crates, pallets and cable reels can now be efficiently pre-processed with Vecoplan’s VPC Pre-Crusher machine. The VPC is designed to be paired with any Vecoplan shredder to increase output by 50–200%. Outfitted with two rotors that will crush wood within seconds, the VPC eliminates the bottleneck in your grinding operation that large items can cause.
As with many Vecoplan machines, lots of power in a small footprint delivers. The VPC features:
- two conventional geared motored drives with frequency converters
- two 15 HP drive motors
- two independent, reversible rotors, each with 16 crusher arms
- two 8 counter breakers
- a footprint of 75 in. L x 123 in. W x 32 in. H.
