VAZ
A symbiosis of functionality and design –
our all-rounder among single-shaft shredders
A milestone
in the shredding of any material
Unbeatable performance and unlimited flexibility thanks to
intelligent and versatile rotor systems, screen variations,
drives and cutting-edge features.

In addition to attractive new features, the single-shaft

shredder impresses above all with its modular design.
This series, consisting of the VAZ 1700, VAZ 2000 and
VAZ 2500 models, can be used universally – perfect for
a wide range of usage scenarios.

An unbeatable
symbiosis:
sound know-how and
future-shaping features
Our progress starts with our in-depth expertise and our future-shaping
features, which ensure an efficient material flow and are designed to
meet any requirement, no matter how specific.

A first counter knife and an optional

second one​
■ Segmented sections​
■ Easily adjustable from outside the machine​
■ Optimised cutting performance thanks to
the narrow cutting gap​
■ Can be used in 4 ways – plus attractive
operating costs – plus long service lives

The voluminous shredding chamber

provides plenty of room for feeding in
material
■ Guarantees a safe material intake​
■ Bulky materials and locked bales of any
size can be fed into the machine

Possible rotor designs

Depending on the application, Vecoplan AG offers different rotor configurations for maximum
cutting performance, high throughput and homogeneous output with low fine dust/particle
content and minimum particle variance.

The high-performance cutting unit is made of solid steel. It’s equipped with individual hardened
knives that can be used four times and changed quickly. This also minimises maintenance times
and operating costs.

Frequency controlled ram​

■ With continuously adjustable ram speed​
■ High throughput is guaranteed, even with
challen ging or very light input materials​
■ Linear ram for optimal material intake of
bales, for instance
■ The ram design has no edges on which
material deposits might form
■ The ram movement does not cause bales
to fall out of the machine

VAZ screen​
■ Hydraulically-operated, swivelling screen
basket​
■ Adjustment of grain size output
thanks to different screen perforations​
■ Segmented sections
■ Positions can be interchanged
to achieve an optimum wear pattern or
the longest possible service life

Safe to operate: Flipper

Our machine breakage protection
The shredder is equipped with a pneumati-
cally tensioned counter knife called a flipper,
which protects it against damage caused by
extraneous materials.

How the Flipper works

■ Two compressed air springs hold the counter knife cross-bar
in its working position
■ If the adjustable force limit is exceeded, the counter knife can
deflect downwards, which prevents severe consequential
damage to the cutting unit Advantages
■ A sensitive overload controller responds quickly to impacts
■ Consistent prevention of machine damage thanks to
caused by extraneous materials
the automatic detection of extraneous materials
■ Practical and fast removal of extraneous materials
via the hydraulic bottom flap
■ This also minimises downtimes

Continuous and
problem-free
operation:
HiTorc, the Tesla
among drives
Vecoplan relies on the HiTorc drive’s proven
concept when shredders have to work long
and hard.

Die Highlights
Improved efficiency –
10–15 %
thanks to the elimination of mechanical drive elements.

Massively energy-saving
synchronous motor
in the nominal speed and/or partial load range
When idling, it consumes only about 10% of the energy
required by a comparable, asynchronous motor.

More advantages
■ Increased machine throughput thanks to a broad, usable speed range
■ Very dynamic – this improves the start-up and reversing behaviour
■ The speed limit is adjustable for throughput or cutting force (torque and inertial moment)
■ The drive is 100% insensitive to extraneous materials
■ The gearless motor makes the HiTorc almost maintenance-free and noiseless
■ No wear parts (belt drive, clutches, etc.).
■ Exceptional level of availability
■ Almost no drive noise
■ Space-saving
