Two of Vecoplan's most popular models, the RG32/20 U and the RG52/40 U, will be shown as examples of the company's standard line of multi-purpose vertical machines. Fed via hoppers, these grinders handle virtually all types of wood scrap in a true "dump & run" fashion.

Vecoplan's RG42/60 U XL will be displayed in the booth to allow attendees hands-on experience with innovations designed for the improved processing of bulky feedstock. Grinders in the XL line feature larger rotor diameters and taller feed rams. This improves the processing of large wood waste. With XL models, throughput is increased on materials such as pallets, boxes, crates Crates (krā`tēz), fl. 449 B.C., Athenian comic dramatist.
