Edge Innovate supercharges shredding with new high-torque VS750s    

Edge Innovate’s new VS750s shredder represents a significant advancement in slow-speed, high-torque shredding technology. 

Making its public debut at ConExpo, the VS750s is purpose-built for large-scale recycling and waste processing applications. The shredder is engineered to process high volumes of difficult waste streams while maintaining control, efficiency and durability.

“The VS750s, in particular, demonstrates our ability to engineer truly high-capacity solutions, combining enormous scale, power and intelligent control in one machine. These products reflect exactly what Edge Innovate stands for — robust engineering, practical innovation and equipment that gives our customers a real operational edge,” said Darragh Cullen, Managing Director of Edge Innovate.

Weighing 43.6 tonnes, the VS750s is one of the largest and most powerful shredders in the Edge Innovate range, clearly reflecting its high-capacity design and production capability. 

The machine is powered by the 755-hp Caterpillar C13 Tier 4 Final engine, delivering the torque and resilience required to sustain demanding, high-throughput operations in demanding environments. 

At the core of the VS750s is a heavy-duty twin-shaft shredding chamber designed to deliver high torque at low operating speeds. 

This configuration enables the efficient processing of materials such as municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste, green waste, industrial waste, wood and biomass, while producing a consistent output size suitable for downstream processing. 

As well, intelligent load management continuously regulates shaft speed and torque to protect the drivetrain, reduce wear and maximize uptime, even when processing highly variable material streams.

To meet varying operational and sustainability requirements, the VS750s shredder  is available in both direct drive and electric hybrid power source configurations, offering customers greater flexibility, improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

To reduce downtime and lower the total cost of ownership, Edge designed the VS750s with excellent component access and a one-point service area for simplified maintenance. 

Operator-friendly controls and a strong emphasis on safety further enhance ease of operation, making the VS750s shreddar an ideal solution for high-volume waste and recycling facilities
