The Peterson 2710D Horizontal Grinder:
Peterson machines offer two rotor options and offer 4 ranges of models from 500-1125HP.
Weighing in at 31 tonnes, the tracked 2710D is powered by a Cat C18, Tier 1V, 755HP engine and is operated by a Peterson Adaptive Remote-Control System.
The feed system incorporates sloped feed walls which allow better visibility while loading, facilitating smoother feeding for increased production in a wide variety of materials.
With a robust feed chain conveyor efficiently feeding the rotor, a hydraulic drive motor synchronizes with the feed roll for near continuous feeding and massive throughput. Additionally, an adaptive feed system monitors the grinding load and varies the speed of the feed system to keep the engine working in an optimal power curve. Accelerating the feed when the engine load is light, it slows when the load is high, and reverses the feed when the load is excessive.
An impact cushion system absorbs any energy shocks and spikes which promote an extended grinding system component life, subsequently helping to prevent catastrophic damage from severe impact.
Optimum rotor placement ensures positive feeding and reduces the potential of thrown material. Pinned or drum rotors are available.
Options include a cross belt magnet, magnetic headrum, and tracked stacking conveyor.
Peterson’s 3-Stage Grinding Process:
This 3-stage process results in more accurate and consistent finished products. An up cutting motor draws material into the grinding chamber and minimizes bit wear - this provides the first stage in material size reduction. An anvil positioned for optimum sizing and production, provides the second stage in the sizing process. Finally, the last step in the 3-stage sizing process, the provision of a large grate area results in the high- production of a wide variety of wood and green waste materials, and end sized products.
Peterson’s Patented Impact Release System:
A patented impact release system detects any ungrindable objects within the grinding chamber by opening the anvil and first grate section to eject these minimising any damage. Having completed this process, the machine then returns to normal operation, resulting in more uptime and reducing costly damage from any heavy contamination in the feed material.
Jamie, concluded, “We are very pleased with the machine and the advice and support we have received from the team at Neutron Equipment, it has been a great experience.”
