VECOPLAN, LLC TO INTRODUCES VST-32i MOBILE SHREDDING SYSTEM

High-Performance Edition of Popular Mobile Shredding System unveiled at the 2006 NAID Conference


ARCHDALE, NC / May 15, 2006—VECOPLAN, a leading manufacturer of mobile shredding systems for the secure information destruction industry, exhibited and demonstrated its new VST-32i Mobile Document and Product Destruction System™ at the 2006 NAID Annual Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. The Conference took place May 14 – 16 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa outside Phoenix. The NAID theme this year was “Breaking the Barriers:Strategies for Taking Your Business to the Next Level.”

The VST-32i is the result of several years of R & D, field study and real-world experience. This high-performance edition of the popular VECOPLAN VST-32 mobile destruction system offers higher throughput capacity, faster reaction times, payload enhancements, ease of operation and maintenance, and a new level of reliability. The improvements come through an upgraded, more efficient, hydraulic system, redesigned payload compaction system, enhanced controls and programming, and other refinements. Popular features such as “quick-change” shred size, cross-cut consistency in one pass, ability to shred a wide range of materials, and the ability to reach the highest levels of security are the hallmarks of all VECOPLAN single-shaft shredding products and the VST-32i Mobile Document and Product Destruction System™ follows suit by retaining them.

“The VST-32i is a nice step forward in mobile shredding technology,” stated Robb Espinosa, VECOPLAN National Sales Manager – Mobile Technologies. “Although not a dramatically new and different model, the development of the i-machine falls right in line with the 2006 NAID Conference theme which offered ideas for taking your shredding business to the next level. Plus, the high-performance version of the VST-32 retains all of the important features that VECOPLAN pioneered a few years back. Incorporation of the single-shaft shredder, live-floor discharge, unsurpassed controls interface, lightweight composite body—all of this lives on with the VST-32i” adds Espinosa.

The Lock ‘N Load™ universal bin lifter (built exclusively for VECOPLAN by Toter®), the Transonite® composite body (by Martin Marietta Composites), the EasyGlide™ loading enclosure, the 4400 Navistar International® chassis, and the SureTrac™ Walking Floor remain valuable design components of the VST-32i.

“Instead of rushing a radically new and unproven product to market at NAID, we decided to address the things the market has been asking for on our popular VST-32; enhanced performance, reliability and versatility,”explains Len Beusse, Chief Operating Officer of VECOPLAN. “We certainly see the need to expand our mobile product line to both larger and smaller shredding trucks; however, the VECOPLAN philosophy has always been to focus on fully developing an original model before introducing even newer models. With the VST-32i, we feel we have now optimized the original and will soon move on to new models,” says Beusse.

VECOPLAN is a leading manufacturer of advanced industrial shredding and recycling solutions for both mobile and plant-based applications. VECOPLAN shredding and recycling equipment is the preferred brand in many industrial applications in the secure destruction industry, plastics processing and reprocessing industries, woodworking industries, printing and converting industries, general waste processing and recovery industries.
