Vecoplan Christens New Test Lab

“But just as important, the test lab is set up to provide real world conditions in which customers can view their own waste materials being processed - from feeding, through shredding and discharge/separation,” added Chris Hawn, Vecoplan’s director of business development/waste division.

The new test lab contains a representative selection of five of Vecoplan’s most popular shredders installed on a semi-permanent basis and is configured with an open slot to allow for the temporary installation of specific machines on an as-needed basis. One of the semi-permanent machines is horizontally fed and four are vertically fed via hoppers. The horizontal shredder, a VH18/50 PC, is equipped with a vibration feed conveyor and pneumatic discharge system.
