VERMEER’S BIG MOUTH CHIPPER Titan grinders are designed for high-output producers. West Salem Machinery (WSM) is the proud manufacturer of tough, reliable and built-to-last grinders. WSMʼs Titan Series 6000 horizontal unit features an unbeat- able match of design and construction. This massive machine features a 60 in diameter by 70 in wide rotor assembly for processing high volumes. The Titan can be operated in upstroke or down- stroke confi guration and includes dual electric drive motors (800-1,500 hp) with belt drive to the grinder rotor. The extra long drag chain infeed and aggressive powered feed roll provide a large infeed area for effi cient loading of materials and utilize proportional hydraulic load-sensing controls. The extra large throat opening and variable speed infeed are helpful when processing large and bulky materials. The Titan Series 6000 is just one in the new line of WSM Titan Grinders that are designed for high volume processors looking to reduce the cost per ton and demand reliable operation and long machine life. www.westsalem.com With what it calls the largest infeed opening on the market, Vermeerʼs HG8000 can take material usually limited to tubs. The Vermeer HG8000 horizontal grinder offers the largest infeed opening on the market and is powered by a 1050-hp (783 kW) Tier 3 CAT diesel engine.

To maximize productivity, the exclusive SmartGrind feature stops and reverses material from feeding into the patented Duplex Drum when engine rpm drops below an effi cient operating range. The reversible hammers and cutter blocks on the Duplex Drum last nearly twice as long as single-sided designs. The machine is equipped with two screens that allow for countless screen 28 CanadianBIOMASS FEWER PARTS, MORE PRODUCTION Woodsman is a leader in the design and manufacturing of slow drum style chip- pers.
