Model 3800 latest in horizontal grinder lineup
The new model 3800 Wood Hog, aimed at mid-range wood and green waste recycling applications, is engineered to be a versatile, compact unit that can benefit a variety of operations.
The 3800 features a large 38-inch by 59.75-inch infeed opening, provides high levels of material flow into the mill chamber, and a generous rotor tip swing. A step-frame design creates plenty of space under and within the mill area, allowing processed material to exit the grinding chamber freely. Equipped with internal hydraulic drive on the feed wheel, as well as a six-tooth drive sprocket on the bed chain, torque is increased to both the yoke and the infeed chain, eliminating wayward debris and congestion at mill sites.
Smooth, efficient grinding and a high quality end product are benefits of the unit’s upswing mill design, and units are complete with three sections of screen, offering a roomy 3,539 square inches of screening area. A two-sided, bolt-on anvil is easily maintained and, if necessary, easy to replace.
Engine options include Caterpillar or Cummins diesel engines with horsepower ranges from 400 to 630, and electric power is also available. Drive train protection comes standard on the Model 3800 in the form of a PT Tech hydraulic wet clutch with internal torque limiting device, and an optional Twin Disc clutch with full breakaway Brunel torque limiter is also offered.
Another key standard feature is the Iqan system, a proportional feed and digital monitoring system. This system boosts production levels by providing a consistent feed to the grinding chamber. A simple programming tool allows the operator to adjust feed systems to obtain maximum protection while keeping the engine load constant.
Also notable on the 3800 is the dual belt discharge system and lofty discharge conveyor that add efficiency to the grinding operation. The 3800 weighs in at a little over 53,000 pounds, making it road legal with no permits required for transport, and a track model will soon be available.
