Rotary Shear (VR)
The universal shredder
The Rotary Shear is a low-speed, high-torque, twin-shaft shredder. The machine is suitable for the shredding of bulky materials (e.g. domestic, commercial and bulky waste) or ductile input material (e.g. tires, cables, plastic film, paper, textiles) using cutting tools. It also reduces high-volume input materials and items with a large unit weight. At the same time, the Rotary Shear reliably achieves an extremely high shredding ratio.
Located in a robust housing, two counter-rotating rotor shafts take hold of the input material. Each shaft is equipped with a row of precisely manufactured cutting tools which mesh with each other like scissors. Gripper hooks are located at the tip of each tool to ensure the fast and reliable feeding of the material. Scrapers are located beneath the shafts to prevent material from adhering to the rotating cutting tools. The particle size of the final product depends on which cutting tool width is selected.
The machines have been in use with numerous operators for years. The housing of the Rotary Shear (type VR) consists of an extremely robust, one-piece steel construction. The design of the bearing shell bridge is particular to BHS and allows the wear parts to be exchanged quickly. The drive system absorbs shock loads, is reversible and consists of standard industrial gearboxes. The cutting tools are made of high-quality materials. The machine can be used in three-shift operation without difficulty, is extremely low-maintenance and is optimized for long service life.
