Horizontal grinder

Horizontal grinder
The model 6710B Track Mounted Horizontal Grinder is powered by a 1,000-horsepower Caterpillar 3412E diesel engine, and features a feed opening of 50 by 66 inches for processing large stumps traditionally reserved for tub grinders. Units are particularly suited for land clearing operations or other applications where mobility is desired, or in conventional recycling yards where a track mounted Horizontal Grinder will effectively reduce material handling costs.

The 6710B features Peterson’s Adaptive Control System II, which controls all components of the feed system to optimize output. This third-generation system monitors the grinding load and varies the speed of the feed system to keep the engine working at the top of its power curve. It automatically accelerates the feed system when the engine load is light, slows when the load is high, and reverses engine speed drops. It even monitors the engine temperature and varies the cooling fan speed to minimize power usage and reduce fuel consumption.

Some additional key features of the 6710B track mounted horizontal grinders include: a three-stage grinding process with an up turning rotor and large grate area; quick-change multiple grate system; a latching Impact Release System; an Impact Cushion System; and rotor options including “drum” or “pinned” styles.
