4300B Drum Chipper
Making Micro Chips s5710C horizontal grinder with Terra
Select S6 E Star Screen
The new Peterson 4300B drum chipper has been updated for
2014 with new features that high-volume biomass chippers
demand. The 4300B can be equipped with either a 6-pocket (to
make standard biomass chips) or 12-pocket (to make microchips)
drum depending on your material needs. A Peterson 5710C horizontal grinder feeds ground wood pallets
into a Terra-Select S6-E star screen. The three fraction Terra Select
S6-E sorts the ground material into fines, accepts and overs.
Both machines are ideal for processing mulch, compost, or other
organic material.
6700B Mid-Speed Grinder 5710C Pallet Grinding
This Peterson 6700B horizontal grinder is equipped with our new
Mid-Speed C&D package, and is doing primary grind in surplus
railroad ties. The second grinder (a Peterson 4710B) is processing
the material to meet the product spec which is being used for
energy production. This Peterson 5710C horizontal grinder is grinding pallets for
mulch production in Indiana. The machine uses a cross belt
magnet to pull the nails from the material (watch for a follow-up
video on this process soon!)
The Mid-Speed C&D package is designed for highly contaminated
material and features several new innovations that have not been
seen on high-speed horizontal grinders before. This operation
is seeing consistent 300+ tons per hour of production in this
material.
The 5710C is Peterson’s latest generation of high production track
grinders. Powered by the Caterpillar C27 or C32 engine at 1050
horsepower, this grinder provides the highest power to weight
ratio of any Peterson grinder. At approximately 83,000 pounds
(37650 kg) the 5710C was designed for operations requiring high
production and frequent moves between jobs.
