Unparalleled access to the rotor, comb and engine compartment addresses long-time industry maintenance issues.
Features
Performance
Mechanical drive system
Twin disk reversible. Allows maximum horsepower transformation to the rotor when compared to hydraulically driven systems, allows maximum torque while running at a lower horsepower, increasing longevity of engine life without impacting productivity.
CAT powerplant
446hp CAT (A-Rated) C13B TIER 4 FINAL/STAGE powerplant with 2082 Ft-Lb/2822 Nm of torque was designed specifically for Vermeer. 100% duty cycle means it can run at maximum output 100% of the time.
Rotor designed to maximise productivity while minimising maintenance
The exclusive SmartSweepâ„¢ control system monitors engine load and provides continuous feedback resulting in a smooth and consistent cutter wheel sweep rate.
Aggressive rotor teeth
21 aggressive rotor teeth positioned along the drum face are engineered to maximise performance while minimising contact points to process materials more effectively. Speak to your Vermeer Product Specialists to determine best configuration of short and tall tooth for the materials being processed.
Versatility
In response to years of consultation and feedback from industry, testing and trials, Vermeer have engineered the LS3600TX to perform as a versatile tool for the processing of construction demolition debris, municipal solid waste, and storm and green waste cleanup where there is potential for unknown contaminated waste in materials to be processed.
Made for contaminated organic waste
- Handles the contaminated material you don’t want to put though a high speed grinder
- Due to low rotor speed, coupled with high torque rotor configuration, can handle contaminants (rocks/metal) with less damage than high speed, less repairs
- One pass with the shredder to get rid of contaminants/ferrous metals
- Allows customers to take additional material types and create additional revenue streams
- Once contaminants taken out, can use Horizontal grinder for final product sizing needs
- Lower operational costs than running a high speed grinder, lower fuel consumption, still large volume output
- Option: For those regularly processing ferrous material, cross band magnet to reduce ferrous contaminants
- Option: Optional steel mech inlay belly conveyor designed for durability and longevity
Easy to transport
For ease of transportation, conveyor folds up and over the machine.
Tailored product size
Material size can be adjusted by changing the gap between the comb and the rotor, with four available settings.
Adjustable discharge conveyor speed
The discharge conveyor is equipped with a proportional valve to allow customisable speed control.
Self-supporting discharge conveyor
Self-supporting conveyor stacks up to 4.3 m high before repositioning is needed.
Simplified maintenance
The LS3600TX is built for easy and efficient maintenance. Daily prestart checks are efficient with ease of access to rotor box and comb for teeth inspection and change over—just 30 seconds to open the door, rather than five minutes. Built-in ladders and platforms provide
secure access to engine bay, torque limiter, and gearbox. Teeth are reversible with a single bolt for quick changeovers, and the belly belt
cassette slides out with an excavator for easy repair. This means less downtime, faster servicing, and more production time.
Unparalleled ease of access points for maintenance
Engine bay – accordion style doors, multiple ladder points, large service platform. For larger maintenance projects, entire engine enclosure can be removed.
Simplified belt changes
The belly belt cartridge does not require the rear discharge conveyor to be removed when changing the belt.
Hydraulically movable comb structure
Hydraulically movable comb structure allows comb tooth maintenance to be carried out from ground level.
Inbuilt damage protection
The LS3600TX features built-in damage protection that helps prevent major failures and reduce downtime. If the machine encounters an object, it automatically attempts to clear it by reversing the drive up to four times. If unsuccessful, a ball detent disengages the driveline to prevent damage. Once the obstruction is removed, the system can be quickly reset with a manual reverse—minimising costly repairs and keeping you operational.
Comb cylinder pressure monitoring
Comb constantly monitoring comb cylinder pressure (PSI) and will open when a set pressure is reached providing protection to the rotor, transmission and drive line.
Ball detent torque limiter
Drive line includes a ball detent torque limiter that automatically disengages the drive line when max torque is experienced. Resetting the torque limiter is as easy as reversing the rotor until you no longer hear clicking from the mechanism.
Electronic lock-out
Software design: On the fourth reversal, the machine enters lockout mode to protect the clutches from locking up. The operator cannot bypass the lockout, even by cycling the key.
Optional cross-band magnet
For those regularly processing ferrous material, cross band magnet to reduce ferrous contaminants.
Ease of operation
The LS3600TX makes operation easy and efficient. With one-touch auto mode, intelligent jam response, and real-time machine feedback, operators stay in control with minimal effort. Simple comb adjustments and a smart hopper design optimise material flow and end-product size—maximising output with less hassle.
Intuitive control panel
All controls are conveniently located at the front of the machine on a control panel equipped with fully functional touchscreens.
Hopper design
The hopper design assists in material flow and reduces the need to manipulate material and a notch in the front of the hopper positions longer material in line with the rotor to help improve feeding. This design is a less complex infeed that doesn’t need a tipping hopper and fewer hydraulics are required.
Full-function wireless remote
The wireless remote gives operators full control from the loader seat, with live machine data, on-the-go adjustments, and remote conveyor height control for added convenience and efficiency.
Easy product sizing
Adjusting distance between comb and teeth simple with 4 settings to manipulate size of end product and efficiency.
