Upgraded grinder designed to save space

Upgraded grinder designed to save space
Designed as a more compact and owner-friendly grinding system, the space-saving EF-12SR horizontal end-feed grinder is the smallest in Cresswood’s Destroyer Series. With a width trimmed from 57 inches down to 35 inches, these units offer a reduction in size of 39 percent over previous models.

The redesigned motor mount location and low-profile frame and guards create a symmetrical, streamlined layout. In small furniture, cabinet, stair and millwork shops, the EF-12SR integrates seamlessly with gang ripsaws and band saws, and by standing in closer proximity to the waste stream, these units eliminate the need for an extra chute or conveyor to receive rip-pings and small blocks.

The low profile adds to the versatility of the EF-12SR. It can be positioned to the right or left of a saw, depending on the layout of the facility. In either case, its straight-line design and standard 10-foot vibrating conveyor save on labour and equipment costs and enable shops to make the best use of tight space.

The EF-12SR is available with a 25- or 30-hp motor, and features a 12-inch grinding head length and 10-inch grinding head diameter. The grinding head operates at 300 to 600 rpm, and the geometry of the cutterhead delivers exceptional throughput in grinding edge rippings, wood strips and molding. The feed rate adjusts to the processing requirements of the cutterhead, and a sizing screen determines the size of particles exiting the machine.

Like all products in the Destroyer Series, the EF-12SR is manufactured with a rugged steel structural frame and top-quality components, with easy servicing and preventive maintenance.
