Featuring a Vecoplan shredder chamber, it can handle a variety of plastics.

TDS-V20SE Terex Recycling Systems’ new medium-speed shredder can be used as a primary or secondary shredder at recycling facilities, waste-management operations, recycling plants and companies looking to produce fuel or biomass products from waste. It can handle a variety of plastics, including HDPE, PET, PVC, PP and LDPE. Featuring a double-shaft shredder chamber developed by Vecoplan LLC, Archdale, N.C., the TDS-V20SE has an electric independent hydrostatic drive and product sizing screen. Various sizes of screens are available, and using the machine’s intuitive controls, operators can select desired particle size. With this information, the machine can produce shredded material in the correct size in a single pass, saving time. Optional features include hopper extensions, a chamber camera and monitor, and an auto-greasing system that streamlines maintenance and prolongs equipment lifespan. 

What’s new? The TDS-V20SE, which hit the market in June. 

Benefits High-quality performance, customizability, reliability and user-friendliness. The electric hydrostatic drive system is more efficient than diesel-driven alternatives.
