Vogelsang USA has launched its high-capacity RedUnit XRL260 waste grinding system in North America, targeting food processing and agricultural facilities handling large volumes of solid waste. The industrial grinder, nicknamed “Big Red,” represents the company’s largest hopper-fed unit, designed to significantly improve waste processing efficiency compared to conventional solutions.
High-Performance Waste Reduction Technology
The RedUnit XRL260 features dual 50hp geared motors capable of processing up to 130 cubic yards of material per hour, with a spacious 5′ x 2′ inlet designed to accommodate whole animal carcasses and bulk waste. The system fills a critical market gap by replacing multiple smaller grinders or maintenance-intensive hammer mills, offering various blade configurations and continuous height adjustment for optimized performance across different waste streams.
Proven Efficiency Gains from European Deployments
After demonstrating commercial success in European markets, the technology now becomes available to U.S. and Canadian operators. Documented installations show the XRL260 increases throughput by 50-100% while reducing power consumption 50-60% compared to traditional hammer mill systems. Users report substantially improved cutting performance coupled with dramatically lower maintenance requirements, translating to significant operational cost savings.
Engineered for Demanding Industrial Applications
Vogelsang designed the XRL260 specifically for high-volume waste generators in food processing, animal rendering, and agricultural operations. The robust construction and advanced cutting technology address common pain points in industrial waste management, including processing capacity limitations, energy inefficiency, and excessive downtime for maintenance and blade replacement.
Transforming Industrial Waste Processing
The North American introduction of the XRL260 provides large-scale waste handlers with a single-system solution that combines massive throughput capacity with energy efficiency and reduced maintenance. This technology advancement enables facilities to streamline their waste processing operations while achieving substantial improvements in both operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
