Diamond Z Manufacturing, Caldwell, Idaho, has introduced a horizontal grinding machine called the DZH 7000.
The horizontal grinder, the first for the company, was introduced to attendees of the WasteExpo show earlier this month in New Orleans. According to the company, the DZH 7000 is ideal for large-scale wood processing applications.
A Diamond Z news release refers to the new model as “a portable, high-capacity, low-maintenance horizontal grinder designed for precision grinding of any material including wood debris, brush, limbs, logs, stumps and construction materials.”
A patent-pending feed roller design raises past center to the safety lock position for easy maintenance and screen replacement times of less than 20 minutes, according to the company. The model also features what Diamond Z calls an “aggressive variable speed dual drive feed chain for the toughest material [and] the industry’s first patent-pending hydraulic rod puller for quick access.”
The machine can process more than 500 yards of material per hour, according to Diamond Z, while also reducing maintenance downtime, thus increasing net operating profits for operators.
