2013 HAMMEL VB850DK

This 2013 Hammel VB850DK has just 200 hours on a complete factory rebuild. That resets the machine's wear clock regardless of the 2013 build year — this is closer to buying a low-hour rebuilt shredder than a 12-year-old one.

Who This Machine Is For

• Transfer stations and landfills — the VB850DK's two-shaft design handles large-volume, bulky waste streams without pre-sizing.
• Scrap and demolition recyclers — the slow-speed twin shafts process car bodies, aluminum profiles, and mixed metal alongside wood and C&D debris.
• Wood waste and green waste processors — roots, stumps, pallets, and logs are core applications for this model.
• Buyers who want near-new internals without new-machine pricing — a factory rebuild at 200 hours is about as close to new condition as a used primary shredder gets.

What It Shreds

• Wood waste — stumps, pallets, logs, and construction wood debris.
• Bulky and household waste — mixed municipal and commercial waste streams.
• Light metal and scrap — aluminum profiles, packaging, and car bodies, with a magnet option for separating ferrous material downstream.

This is not a high-speed fine-grind shredder. The twin shafts run slow and are built for tough, mixed material rather than a uniform, small output size.

Specs in Plain Language

At 200 hours since a complete factory rebuild, the major wear components — shafts, bearings, and drive system — have effectively been reset. Power comes from a 475-hp diesel engine, matching the horsepower Hammel and dealers commonly spec on this model. The VB850DK runs on two slow-speed, intermeshing shafts rather than a high-RPM hammermill, which is what lets it handle large, irregular material like stumps and car bodies without jamming. Track-mounted mobility lets the machine reposition on-site without a separate trailer. For buyers comparing shredder types, our wood shredders and MSW shredders categories cover both applications this machine fits.
