EVENTS BOARD PETERSON UNVEILS THE NEW 6700D HORIZONTAL GRINDER system when the engine load is light, slows when the load is high, and reverses if the engine speed drops. It even monitors the engine temperature and varies the cooling fan speed to minimize power usage and reduce fuel consumption.

Peterson Pacific Corp. has introduced the Peterson 6700D, the company’s largest horizontal grinder. Powered by a 1125hp (839 Kw) Tier II, Caterpillar C32 engine (or an optional Tier 4i Caterpillar C32 engine), the 6700D is designed for the toughest jobs. With a feed opening of 66 x 50 inches (168 x 127 cm), the 6700D 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. With the R+ package, the 6700D can be configured as a mid-speed grinder to handle heav-ily contaminated piles, or a high-speed grinder for typical land clearing operations. Peterson’s three-stage grinding process with an up turning rotor and large grate area enables the 6700D to produce materials to exact specifications. Our quick-change multiple grate system makes it easy to customize grate configurations to produce a wide variety of finished materials. Grates are removed through an enlarged access door on the side wall of the 6700D. The 6700D features Peterson’s Adaptive Control System, which controls all components of the feed system to optimize output. This system monitors the grinding load and varies the speed of the feed system to keep the engine working at the top of its power curve. It automatically accelerates the feed Mühlböck Holztrocknungsanlagen Gmbh, Eber-schwang (Austria) appeared at the Timber Process-ing & Energy Expo in Portland, Ore., in October to promote its Type 1003 belt dryer for wood chips to the North American market. In combination with its heat recovery system, the Mühlböck dryer for wood shavings Type 1003 achieves a reduction in heat consumption of 50-60%. Using conveying technology, the product being dried is supplied continuously and fed onto the drying belt where it is dried to its defined target moisture in a fully automated system. Built for plants looking to dry volumes of 1tph-15tph, the system has a modular constriction design. The 1003 has an easy-to-adjust moisture content control and is suited for any size of chip. The system can be operated at low temperatures or with excess heat from power plants and cogen plants, hot water with a supply temperature of 50°C-115°C, or steam.
