Focus on hybrid waste shredding
At the centre of the presentation will be the Edge VS420e electric hybrid waste shredder, which will be shown in a limited-edition livery developed for IFAT 2026. The machine combines electric operation with a diesel engine for tracking and auxiliary functions, allowing it to operate across different sites and applications while reducing reliance on diesel power.
According to the company, the VS420e is designed to lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while maintaining the torque and throughput levels required in demanding waste processing environments. Edge positions the machine as a solution for operators seeking to reduce emissions and operating costs without changing established processing performance.
Lower operating costs and flexible deployment
Edge states that the VS420e is intended to reduce operating costs through lower fuel use and reduced servicing requirements. The machine also incorporates load management and status alert systems designed to support material flow, limit downtime and improve productivity.
The shredder can be integrated into existing waste processing plants or operated as a standalone unit. Its plug-and-shred configuration allows connection to the electricity grid while also offering the option to switch between electric and diesel modes when required. This makes the machine suitable for applications including construction and demolition waste, green waste, biomass and municipal solid waste.
Static electric shredders for fixed installations
Edge will also use IFAT 2026 to present its static electric VS750 series shredders. These machines are intended for permanent installations and large-volume waste streams, including commercial and industrial waste, bulky waste and alternative fuels.
The company says the VS750 series is designed to combine high throughput with lower energy consumption and reduced environmental impact. Its static design is aimed at operators of fixed recycling plants that require long-term, high-capacity shredding systems with controlled operating costs.
Electric operation for regulated environments
Edge notes that both the VS420e and the VS750 electric range are suited to sites with strict environmental or noise requirements. Their electric operation can reduce emissions and noise levels, which may support use in urban locations or indoor facilities where diesel-powered equipment is less suitable.
