HYBRID WASTE SHREDDER -VS420E

GO ELECTRIC WITH THE EDGE VS420E HYBRID!

The EDGE VS420E Hybrid waste shredder offers significantly reduced CO₂ production, reduced operating costs, reduced servicing and a higher percentage uptime for its operators. The EDGE VS420E packages all the advantages of a mobile diesel driven unit and that of a stationary electric shredder into one self-contained unit. For the operator, it means minimal operating costs, maximum performance, and enormous flexibility.

 EDGE Innovate’s VS420E Electric Hybrid model replaces the traditional 310Kw CATERPILLAR engine with two 132KW motors that provide the exact same production capacity and torque levels to that of a diesel/hydraulic drive unit. A small 55Kw diesel engine provides the flexibility of tracking, and use of all set up functions. An additional 11Kw auxiliary motor allows for all set up functionality to be available in both “Electric” and “Diesel / Hydraulic” modes. The VS420E offers a host of design features as standard. For instance, to shred, EDGE’s safe and simple “Plug and Shred” function enables operators to connect and disconnect the shredder to the grid in the matter of minutes. As like the diesel hydraulic version, the VS420E combines EDGE’s Intelligent Load Management and the VS Status Alert System. The two systems work in tandem to ensure the efficient loading of the shredder. This in turn, allows the operator to achieve consistently high throughputs and most importantly, experience minimal downtime. Unlike other hybrid shredder versions, the VS420E can adjust set up functions such as conveyor discharge angle in “Electric Mode” whilst also having the ability to track small distances to form new material stockpiles. Again, reducing operational downtime.

EDGE Innovate offer a wide range of tooling options and chamber configurations to ensure that the VS420 is set up to achieve the best results for its operators. With decades of experience, the EDGE team are in the perfect position to advise on the best set up for their clients so that their unit creates the right tonnage at the desired piece size.

Due to it’s emission free operation, the hybrid waste shredder from EDGE can also be deployed indoors or moved between indoor and outdoor applications. With zero engine noise produced when shredding, the VS420E is the ideal shredding partner in built up areas or in markets where stringent environmental, legislative or noise constraints are enforced.
