VECOPLAN INTRODUCES SPEEDMASTER
Vecoplan LLC, Archdale, N.C., has introduced the SpeedMaster Control System, which regulates a shredder’s cutting rotor drive, improving processing efficiency, according to the company.
The SpeedMaster uses a standard, asynchronous motor, a variable frequency drive and a digital encoder to monitor and control the shredder’s processing functions, resulting in lower power consumption as compared to similarly rated equipment and almost double the processing throughput, according to a press release from Vecoplan.
"This is a very nice development for customers who want the absolute most performance from their shredder purchase and for those who wish to reduce high power bills," Len Beusse, Vecoplan COO, says.
Vecoplan says its SpeedMaster technology provides for full torque control throughout a wide speed range and realizes a power savings of as much as 80 percent at the top of the speed range.
The SpeedMaster is available only on Vecoplan’s single-shaft and twin-shaft shredder lines. More information is available at www.vecoplanllc.com.
