V-ECO Extremely powerful – The high performer in plastics recycling

V forvarious materials

Thanks to its variable usability, you only need one shredder for all plas-tics. That saves space and money. The V-ECO is easy to integrate into existing systems at a low cost and adapts to different fractions by simply changing the screen.

■ The entire V-ECO product series is specially designed for plastics shredding

■ One shredder for all plastics ■ Shreds a wide range of plastics using a simple,

quick screen change - Films, hard plastics, tissue and fibres

- From the following areas: agricultural, post consumer, post industrial, inhouse

Film

Hard Plastics

Tissues and Fibres

The V-ECO is the high-performance, highly flexible specialist for plastics shredding. Based on the latest, reliable technology, the V-ECO offers a range of possibilities and shreds a wide range of plastics input into high-quality, homogeneous output.

V-ECO Film ShreddingAgricultural material

Post consumerPost industrial

High-performance film shredding precisely customised to a wide variety of film input from various disposal and recycling areas.

In particular when combined with the Vecoplan 5-row W-rotor, the V-ECO enables optimal film throughput at high speeds. The system runs particularly quiet, continually and reliably and delivers homogeneous output in the desired flake size.

V-ECO Hard plastics shredding

Inhouse

Post consumerPost industrial

In hard plastics shredding, the variably adjustable speed settings of V-ECO mean it can be adapted precisely to the input material. This achieves the best possible cutting and shredding results in practice.

■ Variably adjustable to the requirements of different hard plastic input

■ Detailed adaptation to input and output requirements by rotor and knife adjustments and appropriate selection of screen

V-ECO Tissue & Fibre-Shredding

Post consumerPost industrial

In extensive practical tests with customer materials at the Vecoplan technical centre, the V-ECO was also designed to be able to deal with heavy shredding materials, such as big bags, meshwork and ropes.

■ High-performance, reliable shredding also possible with tissue and fibre materials thanks to knives, counter-knives and rotors (W-rotor, film rotor and fibre rotor)

■ Extensive Vecoplan application and project experience with these materials, too

Inhouse

E for efficient process

■ Continuously developed for efficiency in all details ■ Particularly low energy consumption due to speed

adjustment to input, and economical, frequency-controlled direct belt drive (ESC drive)

■ High process efficiency thanks to modern cutting and rotor technology

The V-ECO series is a completely new development from Vecoplan. Maximum customer benefits were at the focus of the development engineering. Every detail was designed to make the system consistently highly efficient in terms of performance and profitability.

C for compact design

■ Compact machine design ■ Low space requirement ■ Quiet running ■ Low noise emissions ■ Large maintenance doors ■ Optimal accessibility ■ Easy to clean

The entire V-ECO machine design is adapted to use in practice. Particular importance was laid on the compact machine design. Reducing its design to only the essential parts minimises component failure, optimises material flow and facilitates the servicing and maintenance work for users thanks to its highly accessible design.

The control system, drive, rotor, knives, floor and ram are consistently adapted to each other in the shredding process. You benefit from maximum value creation.

O for outstanding performanceCompletely trimmed to maximum performance. All V-ECO components are extensively designed and developed to combine high throughput with maximum output quality, regardless of the input material.

„Our old shredder completely failed. Vecoplan was able to supply us with a V-ECO within 1 week so we could continue our production operations. We were all surprised how quietly the V-ECO runs, yet it doubles the throughput rate of its predecessor and still keeps output reserves ready.“

Mathias Nilsson, Managing Director Miljösäck AB
