Peterson Introduces Horizontal Grinder

Peterson, Eugene, Ore., has introduced the 5710C horizontal track grinder.

The 5710C is powered by a Caterpillar C27 1,050 hp engine and provides the highest power to weight ratio of any Peterson grinder.

At 82,330 pounds, the 5710C was designed for operations requiring high production and frequent moves between jobs. With a feed opening of 60 inches by 44 inches and Peterson’s high lift feed roll, the 5710C is designed to handle a wide range of material, including stumps.

The 5710C uses Peterson’s new generation of Impact Release System, which can be set in the detent mode to provide consistent product sizing or switched to the floating anvil mode for a primary reduction where accurate sizing is less critical. The floating anvil mode provides a high production primary reduction with more protection from contaminated feedstocks and reduced fuel consumption.

The 5710C has a square-shaft rotor and large grate area that enables it to produce materials to exact specifications, according to a press release from the manufacturer. The quick-change multiple grate system makes is designed to make it easy to customize grate configurations to produce a wide variety of finished materials. Grates are removed through an access door on the side wall.
