Peterson 5710E Horizontal Grinder

Overview

The Peterson 5710E horizontal grinder is the newest tracked horizontal grinder in the Astec line.

The 5710E is designed for high-volume producers who require frequent moves among sites. The 5710E features a ground fuel option, improved approach angles, a 4,515 square-inch screening area and an 8% larger rotor with more bits. The machine weight is also lighter than its predecessors.

Powered by a Tier IV Caterpillar C27 1,050 hp (783 kW) engine or an optional C32 1,125 hp (839 kW) engine, the 5710E can easily tackle a variety of materials, having a positive impact on efficiency and productivity.

  • 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.

  • 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.
