Vogelsang launches RedUnit XRL260 industrial grinder for high throughput quantities

Vogelsang GmbH & Co . KG has further developed its RedUnit grinding system and launches the RedUnit XRL260 , its largest industrial grinder up to date . The new RedUnit reduces large quantities of solid materials in a short time and is therefore ideal for processing abattoir waste , food waste and recycling materials . Two geared motors , each with up to 37 kW , ensure high throughput performance of up to 100 m3 / h . Lateral service hatches – part of the new Vogelsang service concept – offer direct , simplified access to the rotors . In addition , it is now easier to remove foreign bodies , since the fill area of the machine no longer requires elaborate clearing .
“ Our customers in the meat- , food and recycling industries need a high performance grinder for reliable , flexible processing of even large quantities of material . For example , during the current widespread bird flu in Germany , many culled animals had to be destroyed quickly ; the RedUnit XRL260 proved to be a real problem solver here ,” says Harald Vogelsang , CEO of Vogelsang GmbH & Co . KG . Furthermore : “ By prioritizing factors like throughput , cleaning , maintenance and downtime during development , we make it possible

for companies to even further enhance their process efficiency with our new industrial grinder .”
POWERFUL AND SERVICE- FRIENDLY
The RedUnit ’ s core features two ripper rotors , which are each driven by their own motor . Users can individually guide the rotation direction and speed of the respective rotors . If materials block the rotors , they reverse and the foreign bodies can be removed through the lateral hatches . Moreover , the hatches offer direct , easy access to the rotors . As a result , the latter are easy to reach with the associated installation tools
during maintenance or replacement . One person can demount the ripper rotors independently . Removing the feed and discharge systems is unnecessary . Vogelsang thus has boosted the system ’ s availability and cut the downtime of the machine to a minimum . Support feet , a filling shaft or a system solution for easy integration with existing installations are also available as additional options .
The grinder is available in the sizes XRL260-800 , XRL260-1200 and XRL260-1600 with various blade sizes . All models feature continuous height adjustment . The RedUnit XRL260-1600 is the biggest grinder in the series with a floor area of 1.80 x 3.60 meters . Customers can borrow this model to test it in their business or rent it on a longterm basis .
