2025 Vermeer® Low Speed Shredders LS3600TX
LS3600TX highlights- Built for industry leading maintenance access
- Spend less time fixing and more time shredding
- Highly adjustable to optimize efficiency and end product sizing
- Maximized torque delivery to the rotor for efficient waste processing
Features may include:
Ease of maintenance- The hydraulically-operated side door provides full exposure to the rotor, comb and belly conveyor to minimize maintenance time. The service area has been designed to allow you to perform maintenance without overhead obstructions.
- The maintenance-friendly and highly accessible engine bay design includes large access doors, multiple ladder points and a large service platform to help with ease of maintenance and serviceability.
- The belly conveyor can be removed without detaching the discharge conveyor — allowing for minimally invasive service.
- The service jog feature at the operator's station allows you to rotate the rotor, enabling necessary maintenance on both the rotor and the tips.
- The design of the LS3600TX gives your operation versatility with the ability to control the size of the material by adjusting the spacing between the comb and rotor.
- This 10-ft (3 m) welded rotor comes equipped with a 21-tooth configuration consisting of both tall and short teeth. Reliability and maintenance were kept front of mind — as evident by the dual-bolt quick-change teeth.
- The comb constantly monitors cylinder pressure and will open when the set pressure is reached, providing protection to the rotor, transmission and driveline.
- The machine features a reversible mechanical transmission for efficient power transfer, maximizing productivity. A torque limiter automatically disengages the drive at max torque to help protect critical components.
- A torque limiter automatically disengages the drive when max torque is experienced — helping protect critical machine components.
