Peterson 6710D Horizontal Grinder

Overview

The 6710D Horizontal Grinder is Peterson’s largest grinder, and is designed for operations that need the most durable, highest output machine.

Powered by a 1125hp (839 Kw) Tier IV, Caterpillar C32 engine (or an export only Tier II engine), the 6710D is designed for the toughest jobs. With a feed opening of 50 x 66 inches (127 x 168 cm), the 6710D can even process large stumps that used to be reserved for tub grinders. The grinder is particularly suited for land clearing operations or other applications where mobility is desired. Track mounting also reduces material handling costs in conventional recycling yards as well.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Railroad Tie Recycling

    The creosote treated railroad ties are a valuable energy source, once they have been broken down into a manageable and consistent size.

    Biomass

    Biomass is an energy source derived from renewable and sustainable organic materials to create electricity or other forms of power. Horizontal grinders and drum chippers are highly productive machines for creating biomass.

  • Asphalt Shingle Recycling

    Asphalt shingle grinding is the process of making recycled asphalt shingles (RAS). RAS is produced by grinding asphalt roofing shingles to a small spec, generally under 3/8” to salvage the valuable asphalt and sand.
