Rotary shear (VR) - Twin-shaft shredder for the rough work

Rotary shear

VR

Rotary Shear – Robust and versatile twin-shaft shredder

The BHS rotary shear of type VR is a low-speed, high-torque twin-shaft shredder for cutting shredding, which is mainly used in its gas-tight version in battery recycling for the safe pre-shredding of bulky battery modules or packs. In addition, the inert design variant can also be used for the safe shredding of toxic waste materials, from which a pumpable mass is produced in SMP plants for subsequent thermal utilization. It also reduces large-volume input materials as well as parts with high unit weights. The rotary shear reliably achieves superior shredding performance.

Benefits at a glance:

  • On-target shredding results
  • Inert design for safe shredding processes
  • High throughput rate
  • Easy-to-replace wear parts
  • Suitable for continuous operation

Inertizable designs for absolute process safety

When shredding and processing potentially hazardous materials such as batteries or toxic waste, it is necessary to inert  the working chamber to prevent fires, explosions, hazardous gas leaks, or chemical reactions. For process reliability in processing these problematic materials under a protective atmosphere, BHS offers the rotary shear in an appropriate, inert design. 

In the BHS process solution for the safe and economical recycling of lithium-ion batteries, the inert design is an integral part of a battery recycling plant for the safe pre-shredding of bulky battery modules or battery packs.
