Rawlings has recently introduced its latest
model; the VRM Sper Hi Inertia Vertical
Wood Hog
feed to the grinder producing a
consistent finished product, while
the slow speed, high torque cutting
action means lower horsepower
and lower noise. The Horizontal
models are available as Stationary,
Portable, Diesel or Electric Powered
Unit.
The PXZ Vertical model
is the back bone of the Rawlings
product line and is recognized as
the toughest and most productive
wood hog the company has ever
built.
“This machine can handle
really tough to grind materials like
cedar, black spruce, lily pads and
log ends,” the company said. The
Rawlings machine has a massive
solid steel rotor that supplies more
than enough kinetic energy to
power through the largest feeding
surges.
The hog upper case is clam-
shell opened hydraulically for quick
and easy service access. Simple
design reduces parts inventory and
is easy to maintain. It operates one
third lower RPMs than other types
of hogs reducing both mechanical
wear and fines generation.
To complete the line up,
Rawlings has introduced its latest
model;
The VRM Vertical Wood Hog
“No cookie cutter machine can
meet everyone’s space constraints
or challenges,” Rawlings stated.
“We have had several customers
over the years that did not have the
overhead clearance in their existing
footprint to allow for a clam shell
opening type of machine.
“The VRM hog opens
hydraulically from the rear of the
machine allowing full access to the
hog’s internal wear components
and rotor for ease of maintenance.
Same features as our other models
with a different case opening
feature.”
All models in the Rawlings
equipment arsenal are equipped
with the Patented Super Hi-Inertia
solid steel rotor that powers
through feed surges with ease.
The Rawlings Rotor provides the
kinetic energy needed to handle
really tough jobs like green waste,
cypress, redwood, cedar, black
spruce, poplar and a wide range of
other stringy and fibrous materials.
“Our machine is tolerant of
contaminants, rocks, and metal
without catastrophic maintenance
costs if metal enters the grinding
chamber. Simple design reduces
parts inventory and is easy to
maintain,” Rawlings stated.
Rawlings Super Hi Inertia hogs
are some of the most productive
and efficient hogs available with
proven track records in some of the
toughest applications that exist.
