Peterson D-series grinders, designed for recycling waste and green wood material, offer industry-leading features to produce quality product at the lowest cost per ton with a range of five models to meet market demands.
The 5710D horizontal grinder is a tracked horizontal grinder designed for high-volume producers with demanding end-product specification.
Powered by Caterpillar C27 Tier II 772kW engine (with an optional C32 838kW engine), the 5710D provides the highest power to weight ratio of any Peterson grinder. At 43,091 kilograms it’s suited for operations requiring high production and frequent moves between jobs. With a feed opening of 152 centimetres x 102 centimetres, combined with Peterson’s high lift feed roll, it can readily produce a wide range of material.
Unique features include a three-stage grinding process that provides better fracturing of material and a more consistent product.
Peterson’s patented Impact Release System’s air bags provide uniform grinding and protection from contaminated feedstock, a feature unique to Peterson grinders.
The Impact Cushion System Urethane cushions and shear pins help protect the mill from catastrophic damage in the event of a severe impact from contaminants in the feed stock.
Combined, the features allow the Peterson horizontal grinders to be more productive since less energy is required to reduce the feed material.
The difference in profitability at the end of the year can be dramatic with lower fuel consumption, and higher mulch yield.
