Features & Benefits
Conceptual Features - Enhancing Manufacturing Operations
(Why buy a rotary grinder)
- Economic reclamation of manufacturing scrap vs. conventional equipment or disposal.
- Safe reduction of large parts vs. unsafe manual, guillotine/bandsaw or hog reduction.
- Labor-saving “dump-and-run” loading of batches or bulky/dense parts into large hopper.
- Low speed, low noise, low HP operation as compared with granulators and hogs.
- Single-shaft, ram feed design produces a more consistent, manageable particle size as compared to multiple-shaft shredders.
- One-pass, screened reduction of large/dense parts to a final particle size in most cases.
- High torque action allows processing of a broad range of tough materials and creates completely new recycling capabilities - grind 1000 lb. purgings and pallets with ease.
- Improvement in performance of existing downstream equipment.
- Ease of cleanout and ease of routine maintenance are inherent to the design such as indexable cutters that can be economically replaced.
- Automated control of the ram-feed process allows for optimal throughput with virtually jam-free operation. Excessive amperage spikes reverses rotor and ram direction.
- User-friendly design makes integration into plant very flexible and simple.
- Has been called “the missing link” in size reduction by industry experts.
Unique Selling Features / Benefits vs. the Competition
(Why buy a Vecoplan)
- Made by professionals who invented the rotary grinder concept with more collective experience in rotary grinding than anyone else, bar none - your application will be addressed properly.
- Refined by experts in failure analysis of metal construction; in business since 1969.
- Constructed of extremely heavy plate, abrasion-resistant steel reinforced for severe duty applications.
- All components are deliberately oversized to increase service life.
- All components are of extremely high quality.
- Components are readily available through a large network of industrial services.
- Close tolerance (0.010 - 0.020), precision fit cutting rotor processes the thinnest films and produces very homogenous consistency.
- Wear items are engineered for easy access and economical replacement such as ram guide access from outside the machine, quick access screens.
- Quick cleanout features result in minimal downtime.
- Innovative rotor design carries a lifetime warranty.
- Double-row spherical, self aligning roller bearings mounted outboard for long life and contamination-free operation.
- All critical components are protected by steel plate covers to prevent impact with heavy parts being loaded and forklifts.
- Heavy duty hydraulic package with cushioned cylinders, high volume reservoir, adjustable flow / speed control and standard valves and switches.
- Control panels are pre-wired. Programmable logic controls have provisions and space for starters and interlocks with various downstream equipment.
- Advanced programs allow a very precise relationship between feed ram and cutting rotor yet are extremely “user friendly”. Custom integration and electrical installation are available.
