HAMMERMILL HAS TWO-IN-ONE CAPAbILITy Williams Patent Crusher & Pulverizer Company Inc. has introduced what it calls the first hybrid hammermill combining the high capacities and heavy-duty features of a primary hog-type hammermill crusher with the fine-grinding capabilities of a secondary hammermill. The new Chip Hog was initially designed for applications such as conditioning green wood chips with 40-50 per cent moisture to a uniform quarter-inch product size for drying or further processing. It does the fine-grinding work of a secondary hammermill using impact and simultaneous grinding while also incorporating higher product output and mill stability found on traditional large hammermills. Features include a large feed opening, heavy-duty tool steel hammers for extended wear life, high hammer tip velocity to shred wet fibrous materials, and heavy-duty reinforced screen sections. The Chip Hog also has oversized eight-inch bearings and an available hydraulic cover opening system. VAZ 1800 ROTARy WASTE SHREDDER FROM VECOPLAN Vecoplan’s VAZ 1800 industrial shredder was designed to process a wide range of wastes for recycling and RDF applications. These include MSW, plastics, wood and more. The VAZ 1800 features a large rotor diameter and taller feed ram that dramatically improves the throughput and overall processing efficiency of bulky scrap materials, and other large-dimension waste products. The VAZ 1800 features dump-and-run operation, so entire containers of waste Can be fed into its hopper. The hopper, on a VAZ 1800, has a volume capacity of 10. 25 cubic yards and a 70- by 82-inch in-feed opening. Its 25-inch-diameter rotor has 84 to 126 cutting inserts, is powered by a 150- to 200-horsepower motor, turns at 125 r.p.m., and is fed by a 10-horsepower, two-speed hydraulic feed ram. NEW FEATuRES ON TEREx ArbORIST CHIPPER The TAC Woodsman 790 is the largest of the Arborist chipper products. It has a 36- inch diameter by 37-inch-wide chipping drum, which has the ability to chip larger material. Main features include a programmable reverse auto feed governor, hydraulic lift and crush on feed wheel, telescoping tongue and a 360-degree hand-crank swivel discharge. The chipper weighs approximately 10,000 pounds and comes with a drop-leg jack. The conveyor allows the TAC Woodsman 790 to process tangled and broken large material as well as large amounts of brush and longer stem material easily. The conveyor has a 36-inch-diameter by 37-inch-wide drum, which allows for chipping larger material. The hydraulic loader draws material into the cutting system with limited trimming and is an efficient way of processing treetops and longer material.
