ARJES Impaktor 1000 vs Hammel VB 950 DK — drive power, cutting torque, throughput on car bodies and mixed scrap, shaft-change.
| Spec | ARJES Impaktor 1000 | Hammel VB 950 DK |
|---|---|---|
| Drive concept | Mobile dual-shaft low-speed hydrostatic (track-mounted) | |
| Engine | CAT C13 (Stage V) | |
| Drive power (kW) | 400 | |
| Drive power (HP) | 544 | |
| Operating weight (kg) | 36,000 | |
| Cutting torque (Nm) | 240,000 | |
| Shaft speed (rpm) | 18–52 (variable hydrostatic) | |
| Hydrostatic service interval (hrs) | 500 | |
| Shaft cassette swap time (hrs) | 4 – 6 (quick-change cassette, 2 mechanics + 1 manipulator) | |
| Transport width (m) | 2.55 (standard lowboy, no permit) | |
| Setup time (hrs) | 0.5 (SCU auto-calibration, tracked) |
| Material | ARJES Impaktor 1000 | Hammel VB 950 DK |
|---|---|---|
| Car bodies / ELV hulks | 10-21 ST/h | 13-24 ST/h |
| Mixed ferrous scrap | 17-28 ST/h | 15-26 ST/h |
| Engine blocks / cast iron | 17-33 ST/h | 11-20 ST/h |
| White goods / sheet metal | 22-44 ST/h | 20-33 ST/h |
| Commercial waste | 28-55 ST/h | Not recommended (primary shredder only) |
Gate fees, landfill taxes, and electricity prices swing the verdict by ±30%. Run the live TCO model for your region to see real payback.
Yes. Both shredders use a CAT C13 400 kW prime mover and target scrap metal, ELV, and mixed-waste processing in the 30–36 tonne class. The Impaktor 1000 offers 20% more cutting torque, 12× faster shaft changes, and tracked mobility, while the Hammel VB 950 DK is stationary and slightly lighter.
The ARJES Impaktor 1000 delivers roughly 35–45% lower maintenance and relocation cost over a 10 000-hour horizon, primarily due to 12× faster shaft swaps, 43% longer hydrostatic service intervals, and elimination of concrete pad civil works when relocating between sites.
The Impaktor 1000 is rated for 25–50 t/h on commercial waste with the appropriate shaft configuration. The Hammel VB 950 DK is engineered as a primary shredder for ferrous scrap only — running commercial waste through it voids the warranty and risks persistent shaft wrapping.
