Rotochopper Updates FP-66 Horizontal Grinder

Rotochopper, through a commitment to continuous innovation, has updated its FP-66 horizontal grinder to increase the capacity of materials that can be processed by the remarkably reliable mid-sized grinder. The larger 30” feed opening and increased powerfeed lift height allows larger materials into the grinding chamber – increasing productivity and efficiency. This heavy-duty grinder is now available with a more aggressive powerfeed and either a 630 or 755 horsepower diesel engine to grind a variety of raw materials, while still providing a great value and Rotochopper’s unmatched factory-direct customer support. Contact a sales representative today to find out how to make your operation more profitable.
