The 5700C is Peterson’s latest generation of high production grinders. Powered by a Caterpillar C27 engine making 1050hp (783 kW), the 5700C has the power to handle the toughest jobs. At 78,000 pounds (35380 kg) the 5700C was designed for operations that require frequent moves between jobs without a special permit. With a feed opening of 60 x 40 inches (152 x 102 mm) combined with Peterson’s high lift feed roll; the 5700C can readily reduce a wide range of material including stumps.
The 5700C utilizes Peterson’s Impact Release System that 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 5700C’s new generation of controls includes Peterson’s high production Adaptive Control System and a fully adjustable feed system that can be optimized for a wide range of materials.
The new control panel provides self-diagnostics for faulty sensors and open circuits. The 5700C control panel features a large LCD display that provides the operator with the information needed to efficiently operate the unit. System pressure transducers and remote monitoring capability simplify set up and provide complete engine and system parameters.
The 5700C features a large grate area that enables the 5700C to produce materials to exact specifications. Our quick-change multiple grate system makes 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 of the 5700C.
Another major innovation included on the 5700C is Peterson’s Impact Cushion System. Urethane cushions allow movement of the compression roll/anvil housing pivot shaft, cushioning impacts due to contaminants in the feed material. Shear pins above the cushion and a sensing circuit that stop the engine help protect the shaft from catastrophic damage in the event of a severe impact.
Since 1981, Peterson has specialized in developing delivery and processing equipment that turns low-grade organic materials into high value products.
