Vecoplan Low Speed Grinder

The Vecoplan RG52/60 (often classified under variants like the RG52/60SWU) is a heavy-duty, low-speed, high-torque single-shaft rotary grinder/shredder widely utilized in industrial recycling and waste management operations. It is highly engineered for the efficient size reduction of demanding residual materials such as wood waste, paper, cardboard, and various industrial plastics.

Key Technical SpecificationsThe machine is defined by its robust mechanical framework designed for high-volume processing:

• Main Drive Motor: Driven by a powerful 60 HP rotor motor, typically operating via a power belt drive system.
• Hopper Infeed Opening: Features an impressive opening size of 51" wide x 49", allowing it to handle substantial material volumes or bulky scrap without bridging.
• Rotor Design: Equipped with a 15" diameter cutting rotor running at a slow speed of approximately 120 to 140 RPM. This low-speed operation keeps noise levels down (averaging 60–70 dbA) and prevents excessive dust generation.
• Cutter Configuration: Depending on the exact sub-configuration (such as the SWU variant), it utilizes either 37 cutters or up to 74 four-way indexable, replaceable cutting knives (Torsion Point knives) to maximize throughput and processing precision.
• Material Feeding: Employs a precision 5 HP, 2-speed hydraulic "Process Ram" to continuously push material against the rotating cutting shaft with a self contained hydraulic unit.
• Screen Size: 2" round hole.
