The HAMMEL-Shredder type VB 850 DK
HAMMEL Recyclingtechnik GmbH, based in central Germany, is a manufacturer of pre-shredders and secondary shredders and complete processing systems that have been sold worldwide from Bad Salzungen in Thuringia since 1996.
The HAMMEL product range of pre-shredders contains 5 models, which are available as stationary electric or mobile diesel-powered versions. The second largest model is the HAMMEL shredder type VB 850 DK.
The mobile version is powered by a Cummins STAGE 5 diesel engine with approx. 525 HP. With the optimised drive concept with a coordinated hydraulic system and a powerful 2-tower gearbox, the shredder is able to process large-volume and bulky input materials quickly and easily.
Thanks to the 2-shaft principle and multifunctionality, the shredding of wood waste (roots, stumps, pallets, logs, etc.) and other materials such as bulky and household waste, aluminium profiles and packaging, car bodies and light or mixed scrap is easy to carry out. This gives the customer full flexibility in use. The machine is equipped with a practical
“EASY To USE” control system, which allows different shredding programmes to be selected depending on the material to be shredded. Clear text error messages on the colour display enable quick solutions to be found for service and maintenance work.
The HAMMEL VB 850 DK is self-driving via a track system and can be easily transported. The compact design with a transport width of only 2.5 m offers mobility advantages for road transport. The long discharge conveyor with a discharge height of approx. 4800 mm can be adjusted hydraulically, which enables a high stockpiling of the source material.
The shredder has already been in use for some time. Thanks to the company‘s innovative approach, the models are adapted and modified to meet market demands and customer requirements.
