Are you looking for an optimal grinding solution? For an optimal end result, the nature of the input materials and the desired throughput rate are decisive. If you want to shred a large amount of material in a short time, Vogelsang's powerful twin-shaft grinder RedUnit XRL260 is the optimal solution.

 

RedUnit XRL260 – the grinder for high throughputs

When a powerful twin-shaft grinder with flexible application options is needed, the RedUnit XRL260 is your friend for the rough stuff. As a component of the RedUnit system, it is used in particular when a high proportion of solids need to be reduced. The RedUnit is a modular grinding system whose components such as solids and wet grinders as well as pumps can be adapted to individual requirements. In addition, you benefit from an innovative maintenance system that reduces downtimes to a minimum.

Functionality

Equipped with two geared motors that achieve a throughput of approximately 100 t/h with up to 37 kW per shaft, solids are grinded effortlessly. The two independent geared motors allow the shafts to run in opposite directions and at different speeds if required. Depending on requirements, the modular industrial grinder can be easily customized as part of a RedUnit system using a modular system. The RedUnit also impresses with its compact design, low power consumption and ensures high system availability. As a result, it can meet any customer requirement.

 

Die unterschiedlichen Einsatzbereiche

As the RedUnit XRL260 can be easily and individually customized, it is used particularly frequently in industrial applications .Thanks to two powerful geared motors, it is able to process large quantities in the shortest possible time .It is ideal for shredding whole carcasses of cows, pigs, and poultry, for example.

 The RedUnit is equally at home in the recycling industry, where it can, for example, shred mixed organic waste from supermarkets and green waste.

The versatile advantages of the twin-shaft grinder

As part of the RedUnit system, the powerful grinder impresses with its many advantages:

 

Simple foreign object management

Blockages in the RedUnit XRL260 can be removed without emptying the feed hopper, which saves time and personnel costs.

 

Optimal adjustment

The direction of rotation and speed of the rotors of the RedUnit XRL260 can be adapted to the shredding requirements, thus offering plants high flexibility and efficiency.

 

High throughput

The RedUnit XRL260 is a particularly powerful twin-shaft grinder. It impresses with a high throughput capacity of up to 100 t/h and enables powerful shredding thanks to two gear motors with up to 37kW each.

 

Innovative maintenance concept

A particularly innovative maintenance concept reduces time-consuming maintenance work and correspondingly high personnel costs. This is made possible by lateral access options that do not require the dismantling of feed and discharge systems.

 

Low maintenance costs thanks to innovative maintenance options

In practice, the maintenance of complex technology often causes great inconvenience, as it is usually a time-intensive process that requires the efforts of several people. However, Vogelsang's innovative maintenance concept makes maintenance much easier.

For this purpose, maintenance flaps can be opened on the side of the grinder, allowing direct access to the finned rotors. Special assembly tools are available for this purpose, making removal and installation simple and eliminating the need to dismantle feed and discharge systems. In addition, possible blockages caused by foreign objects in the shredding material can be easily removed without the need for cumbersome removal of the hopper. This has the advantage that only one person is needed for maintenance.

Benefits from digital control technology

The Vogelsang RedUnit can be controlled digitally, making it easier for you to comprehensively monitor and control the performance and efficiency of your systems. For this purpose, important parameters such as speed, pressure or current demand are monitored in real time. This enables you to forecast possible failures and detect them at an early stage. Furthermore, the operating costs can be reduced sustainably and economic efficiency can be increased. This is feasible by means of remote monitoring via mobile access or a web-based user interface. Depending on which machines are in use and what your needs are, the control portfolio can be customized accordingly.
