Optional infeed control unit (current limiter) automatically senses load to the grinder and helps maximize production rates (Not Shown)
Infeed conveyor transports material to the powered infeed mechanism. Conveyor options include vibrating, belt, and chain. Vibrating conveyors can be provided with metal detection, fines screening and removable infeed transition. Belt conveyors include a ‘speed-up’ roll for extended wear life. Large grinding systems use our multi-strand chain conveyor for direct loading of batch loads and reversing capabilities.
Heavy-duty fabricated steel housing with massive frame doors for superior strength and wear life. Extra heavy interior AR steel wear liners for extended machine life.
The optional pivoting split front housing on larger units with dual hydraulic cylinders mounted to the sides of the machine provides for easy routine inspections and maintenance making the grinder faster, simpler, and safer to open.
Heavy-duty drive base with motor mount for single or dual drive motor(s) (Not Shown)
Rotor shaft end is drilled and rifled on each end for hydraulic bearing removal
Heavy-duty double row spherical roller bearings and pillow block bearing housings provide superior bearing life
Removable bearing support blocks allow for bearing removal without lifting rotor assembly
Abrasion resistant steel screen bars or perforated plates produce a finished product in a single pass. Available in a full range of sizes, screens are modular and interchangeable for extended wear life.
Rotor assembly constructed with heavy-duty machined shaft, rotor discs and alloy steel hammer pins
Hammer pins constructed from high strength alloy steel, with ends drilled and tapped for easier removal
Options: Motor starter control package, Discharge conveyor with magnetic, Screening, Complete processing systems
Inspection ports and rear access doors allow access to upper and lower housing (Not Shown)
Direct Couple or Belt Drive options (Not Shown)
Powered Infeed Mechanism is key component in the horizontal grinding system, consisting of pivoting steel frame around a powered feedroll mechanism. The frame adjusts using hydraulic cylinders maintaining positive downward pressure, while the feedroll aggressively grips the material to provide a positive, consistent and controlled flow of material to the grinder.
