Industry News & Events

Vecoplan LLC, to support company growth, has hired a new marketing department
head and has named a new director over its parts and service operation. Also in its employee news, the
company has named its employee of the year.

Vecoplan Midwest, LLC, a subsidiary of Vecoplan LLC, has augmented its sales
team to increase its focus on wood and biomass markets. In addition, it welcomes a new engineer for
projects and product development.

ARCHDALE, NC / October 14, 2019 ----- The Parts & Service Department management teams from Vecoplan LLC in the US and Vecoplan AG in Germany, held two days of meetings on October 8 & 9 in Archdale and Greensboro, NC. The focus was on customer service and support for North American customers.

Vecoplan LLC, a worldwide leader in size reduction technologies, broke ground on their latest plant expansion September 6 in Archdale, NC. Equipped with state of the art machinery, the plant will be committed solely to the manufacture of shred trucks for the secure information destruction industry.

Vecoplan has been awarded a contract to design and build the front-end material processing and preparation system for Brightmark Energy’s new plastics-to-fuel plant in Ashley, Indiana. Vecoplan’s prep system will incorporate a variety of technologies engineered to deliver feedstock that meets specifications vital to the plant’s successful production of transportation fuel. 

At Lesdrevmash, the international trade fair for machinery, equipment, fittings, tools and components for the woodworking and furniture industry (Moscow, 22 to 25 October), Vecoplan AG will be presenting the single-shaft shredder VAZ 80 for the processing of scrap wood.

Compact.Robust.Powerful and extraordinarily efficient.With the VEZ 3200 (Vecoplan refuse-derived fuel shredder), the environmental technology company has developed a powerful single-shaft pre-shredder with high throughput capacity. It is ideally suited for the manufacture of refuse-derived fuels from production and sorting waste, packaging material and the high-calorific fraction of domestic and commercial waste for use as an energy source in cement works and power stations.

In-house recycling has become well established with plastics processors. They
recycle their waste and feed it back into production. This enables them to use
uncontaminated raw materials and reduce manufacturing costs. Vecoplan supplies
efficient machines which shred and pulverise large-volume input material. These
process steps are combined with the conveyor equipment. With a modern and
intelligent machine design, this turns a shredder into an integrated production
component. Reject material can be fed back “in-line”.

The VTH 65 is engineered for the single stage size reduction of lineal plastic scrap. It produces granulate that can be reintroduced directly into the manufacturing process. By eliminating the need for multiple machines and multiple processing steps, the VTH 65 not only saves on initial capital investment, but it also saves valuable production time and plant floor space.

Biomass combined heat and power plants (BMCHP) produce electrical energy from biogenic solids – and additional heat which can be used efficiently. In order for the combustion process to run smoothly, the mass must first be processed mechanically to obtain a homogenous unit which is free from extraneous material. Vecoplan supplies systems for storing, dosing and conveying the different material for this purpose. The machine builder tailors and matches these systems to the particular application – for example at Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S. Vecoplan has designed individual fuel charging and processing systems at five sites for the Danish manufacturer and BMCHP operator.
