restrictions and permitting was one of the primary design goals of the 5800. The offset helix rotor, anvil, screen designs and dimensions remain similar to the CBI 6800 to retain its superior grinding perfor-mance; however, the rotor width is decreased to produce a machine with a total width under 2.55 metres and weight of 64,850 pounds. optional trailer filling system, a Rotochopper electric grinder can now fill multiple bunkers or trailers, without repositioning any equipment. Optional wear packages dramatically lower operating and maintenance costs for highly abrasive feedstocks. An expended selection of rotor and tooth styles provides enhanced versatility to process a wide range of biofuel fibre sources. As the cost of diesel fuel continues to rise, electric-powered wood grind-ers have become the grinder of choice for an increasing number of grinding professionals, according to HogZilla. A HogZilla electric-powered grinder such as the TC-1664SE has no engine to maintain, allowing more hours of operation per week. With no transportation concerns, a larger, wider and heavier HogZilla can be attained, along with a larger throw restraint and stacking conveyor. The TC-1664SE can come with a stationary tub guard, 16-foot tub and custom enclosure. The Vermeer HG6000 line of horizontal grinders is specifically designed to provide the production, versatility and intelligence needed to meet the demands of your jobsite. These grinders self-propel into the most remote jobsites on 20-inch (51-centimetre) or 24-inch (61-centimetre) double grouser track pads. They have a high ground clearance and sealed rollers that help keep material from building up in the track system, as well as state-of-the-art wireless remote technology that allows operation of the machine from up to 300 feet (91.4 metres) away. The VAZ 1600, one of Vecoplan’s New Generation shredders, incorporates a wide range of innovations that improve performance, increase durability and decrease maintenance time. These features and options include direct drives, double sidewalls, reversible counter knives, hydraulic swing-up screen carriages, ro-tatable screens, and externally adjustable counter knives. Direct drives increase torque, eliminate drive belts, lower maintenance costs and decease machine base widths. Externally adjustable counter knives allow you to maintain optimal cutting tolerances quickly and easily. DuraTech Industries manufactures a complete line of industrial tub and hor-izontal wood waste grinders, including the 5064 Horizontal Grinder pictured here, along with a 12-inch wood chipper. DuraTech’s tub grinders have tubs that range in size from nine to 12 feet, with horsepower ranging from 325 to 1050. Their horizontal grinders are available in horsepower ranging from 475 to 1050. The versatile 2009 Tub grinder is now available with electric motor drives. A 400-horsepower, soft-start main drive motor as well as a 75-horsepower motor to power the hydraulic system are available in various voltages. New standard features and options for Rotochopper electrically powered grinders help minimize the costs of grinding and handling wood fibre fuels. With an Diamond Z manufactures a complete line of tub and horizontal grinders, including diesel, electric, track and wheel mounted options for both. The NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2013 26 Canadian BIOMASS
