HORIZONTAL FEED WOOD & BARK HOGS
Overview
WSM Horizontal Hogs provide a complete solution to your size reduction needs, delivering superior processing performance while minimizing horsepower and maintenance requirements.
The Horizontal Hogging System from WSM includes the infeed Conveyor, Power Feed Mechanism, and Horizontal Hog. Material is fed to the hog by the infeed Conveyor. As material approaches the throat opening, the pivoting power feed mechanism aggressively grips the material and meters it into the grinding chamber of the hog. Material is sheared against an anvil by the rigid hammers and forced through the sizing screens, reducing it to the desired size.
WSM Horizontal Hogging Systems are the proven leader in wood reduction technology, with a full range of machine sizes for processing from 1 - 150 tons per hour.
