Cumberland VH-18 Shredder (VH Series) (Discontinued)

Description of the Cumberland VH-18 Shredder (VH Series)

Industrial producers and manufacturers struggle with waste material, and though some reclaim, many are forced to perform size reduction and recycling plastics, medical waste, carpeting and wood scrap. This can make it very challenging to find a system that allows for minimal steps in order to optimize time and any financial impacts. Cumberland understands this dilemma and provides their VH series of rotary shredders to deliver reliable results. The Cumberland VH-18 Shredder is one of the smaller units in the series, and yet it can handle a huge number of challenges. It features an 18" x 5" infeed area, and it uses the innovative feed roll that clamps on to the materials, and forces them into cutter head and through the unit. This clamp on design also ensures that materials do not bounce or kick back unsafely. This means that pipe, PVC fencing, plastic extrusions, and many other materials can be fed easily into the system. The Cumberland VH-18 Shredder uses a 15" rotor equipped with 24 cutting blades to handle a large range of materials and demands. The throughput rate is from 300 to 3000 pounds per hour, and the 50 - 60 HP motor guarantees that processing can occur at a steady pace.

The unit is designed to work at a low speed with high torque, and this is emphasized by the oversized drive train and the heavy roller bearings that keep the system running under many different loads. Because the cutting inserts are varied (from two to four), and because the cutters are reversible, it means that processing can be optimized as required. Those who find themselves having to process a diversity of materials can turn to the Cumberland VH-18 Shredder as a completely reliable solution. Not only is it a very safe and effective unit thanks to its dual feed rollers and low infeed position, but it is also designed to require only minimal maintenance and upkeep. This can easily become a single step solution for processing and size reduction, and is made in a durable and rugged manner in order to provide many years of service.
