EDGE Innovate to debut high-capacity waste shredder at CONEXPO-CON/AGG

EDGE Innovate will be using CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 as the global launch platform for its latest material processing innovations, reinforcing its "Get Your EDGE" message. Edge will showcase equipment engineered to deliver higher productivity, lower operating costs, and long-term reliability. Exhibiting in the Silver Lot, EDGE Innovate will introduce the new VS750s high-capacity waste shredder, alongside the SCREENPRO S16, now available to the North American market.

Features of the EDGE VS750s high-capacity waste shredder

Making its first public appearance at CONEXPO 2026, the EDGE VS750s represents a significant advancement in slow-speed, high-torque shredding technology. Purpose-built for large-scale recycling and waste processing applications, the VS750s is engineered to process high volumes of difficult waste streams while maintaining control, efficiency, and durability.

Weighing 53 tonnes (59.3 U.S. tons), the VS750s features a high-capacity design and production capability. The machine is powered by a Caterpillar C18 Tier 4 Final/Stage V engine, delivering the torque and resilience required to sustain demanding, high-throughput operations in the most challenging environments. To meet varying operational and sustainability requirements, the VS750s is available in both direct drive and electric hybrid power source configurations, offering contractors greater flexibility, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions.

At the core of the VS750s is a heavy-duty twin-shaft shredding chamber designed to deliver high torque at low operating speeds. This configuration enables the efficient processing of materials such as municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste, green waste, industrial waste, wood, and biomass, while producing a consistent output size suitable for downstream processing. Intelligent load management continuously regulates shaft speed and torque to protect the drivetrain, reduce wear, and maximise uptime, even when processing highly variable material streams.

Built with durability and serviceability in mind, the VS750s features robust construction, excellent component access, and simplified maintenance points, reducing downtime and lowering total cost of ownership. Operator-friendly controls and a strong emphasis on safety further enhance ease of operation, making the VS750s a dependable solution for high-volume waste and recycling facilities.

The SCREENPRO S16 scalping screen 

Following the VS750s reveal, EDGE Innovate will also showcase the SCREENPRO S16, now officially available to customers across North America. The SCREENPRO S16 is the latest addition to the SCREENPRO range, offering a more compact screening solution that builds on the proven success of the larger SCREENPRO S18, without compromising on output, efficiency, or versatility.

Designed to handle feed capacities of up to 600 tonnes per hour, the SCREENPRO S16 is ideally suited to mid- to large-scale operations requiring high production rates and precise material separation. The machine features a 4.9-metre by 1.5-metre (16-feet x 5-feet) dual-deck screen, providing a 14m² (16.7yd²) screening surface. Adjustable screening angles between 14 and 20 degrees, combined with a wide oversize discharge conveyor and heavy-duty feed hopper, allow the S16 to deliver consistent throughput and excellent product quality across a wide range of applications.

The SCREENPRO S16 offers exceptional flexibility, with multiple screen media options, allowing operators to tailor the machine to suit different materials and end-product requirements, whether processing aggregates, construction and demolition waste, or recycled materials. For recycling applications, the S16 can also be equipped with over-band magnets and magnetic head drums for efficient ferrous metal recovery.

Engineered for ease of use and maximum uptime, the SCREENPRO S16 incorporates intelligent load management, hydraulic folding conveyors, a low-level feed hopper, and a two or three-way split configuration. A fully integrated power unit with excellent service access, combined with a user-friendly control system featuring sequential start and stop functionality, enhances both productivity and safety. Maintenance downtime is minimised through a hydraulic lift-up screenbox, allowing fast and efficient mesh changes, supported by full access walkways on both sides of the machine.

Powered by a Caterpillar Tier 4 Final / Stage V engine, the SCREENPRO S16 delivers reliable, fuel-efficient performance, with dual power and electric hybrid drivetrains also available to support EDGE Innovate's commitment to sustainable, low-emission solutions.

Commenting on the new product introductions, Darragh Cullen, managing director of EDGE Innovate, said: "CONEXPO is the ideal platform to unveil major new products, and we are proud to introduce both the VS750s and the SCREENPRO S16 to the North American market and to customers from around the world. The VS750s, in particular, demonstrates our ability to engineer truly high-capacity solutions, combining enormous scale, power, and intelligent control in one machine. These products reflect exactly what EDGE Innovate stands for — robust engineering, practical innovation, and equipment that gives our customers a real operational edge."
