In the yard debris recycling yard I worked in we used a WHO tub grinder with a turbocharged supercharged Detroit in it. That tub grinder would pulverize a 3ft in diameter tree stump in a matter of seconds into chips no bigger than a few inches, it was impressive.
I doubt people realize just how big the jaws are on the crane and just how fast it goes from pile to shredded. When you compare it to the person standing beside the machine it will blow your mind.
@@FondelMikeRotch Its a horizontal grinder/chipper. If you need the exact specs of the machine, just google. And do it before being a jerk on the internet.
When adding a new quarter mile entrance ramp to the highway they used one of these monsters along with three excavators to keep feeding it, big, whole trees it devoured...ive never seen a bigger piles of chip..
@@heli-crewhgs5285 If you look at the end conveyor with the product coming off the end. Right before you see the product is a black conveyor belt running 90 degrees across. That is a permanent magnet belt that pulls metal off the end product before going into the pile.
Good Material for coverups on Landfills Or In Muddy areas. NOT good Material for Landscaping. But it does Make everything smaller inside. Its What we really need to be doing at Landfills. Crushing and shredding up the garbage just so can save more space in landfills but also breaks down faster. Plus while Shredding with some machines can even pull the metal out. So the Landfill could send that scrap metal to be recycled and maybe even get paid for it.
The red dumpster is there to collect the metal. There is a permanent magnet conveyor that runs over the material as it exits the chamber removing nails etc from your finished material.
Seems odd to use two machines when you could use one, although that Sennebogen is very overkill for wood waste so I suppose it isn’t much slower at loading that the shovel
These are probably sent to a boiler plant to burn for renewable electricity. Other things you can make garden mulch, use as fiber for composting, or glue together for manufactured lumber products. If the chips are of very high quality you can use them to make paper.
Nails are not a problem at all. It grinds with no damage to the machine. To avoid the nails contaminating the end product, they are picked up with the magnetized belt that runs above and perpendicular to the end conveyor. Some people run rail-road ties with the metal plates still in them.
Meh Doing dry small materials. Bring it to the forest for slash piles and we see the results. That being said, if you like being a fuel boy (800 hp eats fuel!) and enjoy hours and hours of expensive maintenance buy a grinder.
It's the black conveyor running at 90 degrees to the discharge belt, it's energised above the debris, lifting out any nails/screws/fixings and then de-energises briefly to throw them in to the red skip on the right hand side of the unit.
