Peterson 5700D Horizontal Grinder

Overview

The 5700D Horizontal Grinder is designed for high-volume producers with very demanding end-product specifications.

Powered by a Tier II or Tier IV Caterpillar C27 1050HP (772 kW) engine, or an optional Tier II or Tier IV 1125hp (839 kW) C32 engine, the 5700D provides the highest power to weight ratio of any Peterson grinder.

At 82,000 pounds (37195 kg), the 5700D is designed for operations requiring high production and frequent moves between jobs. With a feed opening of 60 x 40 inches (152 x 102 cm) combined with Peterson’s high lift feed roll, 5700D Horizontal Grinder can readily reduce a wide range of material including stumps.

Applications

  • Compost

    Compost is decomposed organic matter derived from either a single source material or blended for specific application performance. Materials can include garden debris, kitchen scraps, manure or yard and lawn waste.

  • Wood Waste Recycling

    Peterson horizontal grinders are ideal for wood waste recycling applications. Because of the limited options to reuse building materials or wood recycled from demolition efforts, reduced wood waste can be recycled to make biomass, bedding material, mulch, or compost.

  • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Recycling

    Peterson horizontal grinders with the R+ package are an ideal tool for MSW reduction. R+ equipped Peterson horizontal grinders turn the rotor at a slower speed and have heavier duty internal components to handle the tramp metal often found in this application.

  • Salvage Timber

    Peterson horizontal grinders and drum chippers are an ideal tool for processing damaged wood from private timberlands, national forests, pulpwood plantations, and hazardous trees near roadways and other infrastructure.

  • Construction & Demolition Recycling

    Construction and demolition recycling (C&D) is mixed material associated with construction and demolition. The material could include wood, cardboard, gypsum, plastic, metal, wire, roofing shingles, asphalt, concrete and more. By separating and recycling different materials it reduces landfill waste and associated costs, while also producing value-added products.
