The Peterson 4710 D regrinding
Superior grinding solutions
Peterson offers a full-line of
horizontal grinders from 580-1200
hp, in both diesel and electric
applications to suit varied grinding
needs. The new D-series grinders
offer industry leading features and
innovations that allow production
of the finest mulch at the lowest
cost per tonne.
Peterson’s powerful up-turn
three-stage grinding process
provides better fracturing of
material and a more consistent
product, delivering a more
marketable product.
Once the feed material has
been fractured, Peterson horizontal
grinders have the almost infinite
tooling options from bits to
grates in hex, round, square, and
rectangle openings. In addition,
the four-piece grate system that
permits customers to mix and
match to achieve the desired
product; this tooling works well
in both the pre-grind and regrind
steps.
“Our Adaptive Feed System
helps with consistent productivity
by maintaining near constant
material flow to the grind
chamber,” the manufacturer stated.
Machine protection from tramp
metal is a key feature of Peterson
horizontal grinders. Peterson’s
patented Impact Release System’s
air bags provide uniform grinding
and protection from contaminated
feedstock, a feature unique to
Peterson grinders.
A secondary line of defence is
the Impact Cushion System that
utilizes urethane cushions, while
shear pins help protect the mill
from catastrophic damage in the
event of a severe impact from
contaminants in the feedstock.
Peterson horizontal grinders
are available in wheeled, tracked,
or fixed stationary applications,
depending on the needs of the
job site. An optional tow dolly is
available for some tracked models
allowing for easy transportation
without the need for a tow dolly.
