Big Volume Single Shaft Shredders Description

The V-series industrial shredders are single-shaft shredders with a large internal volume. The redesigned hydraulic pusher system creates approximately 35% more space in the cutting chamber while increasing the power and ram speed. The shredder is equipped with a 457 mm diameter Virtus Equipment E-type rotor in widths from 1200 mm to 2000 mm.   As on the G-Series shredders, the rotor is driven by an oversized gearbox. The completely enclosed welded steel housing increases the stability and avoids material spillage. The V-Series single shaft shredders incorporates all the traditional advantages of the Virtus knife and knife holder design as well as standard features such as outboard bearings, hydraulic screen cradle, easy maintainability, and advanced controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a High-Capacity Industrial Shredder used for?

A High-Capacity Industrial Shredder is designed for processing large, bulky, or voluminous materials such as IBCs, plastic pallets, wheelie bins, and industrial drums. It is ideal for recycling operations that demand high throughput, efficient size reduction, and consistent performance.

This high-capacity shredder can handle a wide range of materials including plastics, wood, rubber, and bulky waste. With optional ware packages, it can also process abrasive or filled materials commonly used in industrial recycling.

The V-Series stands out with a 35% larger internal cutting chamber compared to standard models. Its internal hydraulic pusher, variable-speed operation, and compact design ensure faster material feeding, improved efficiency, and a smaller installation footprint.

The redesigned internal hydraulic pusher (ram) provides faster and more powerful feeding action, reducing idle time and increasing throughput. Its enclosed design prevents material spillage, maintaining a clean and safe work environment.
