Overview

The 6700D Horizontal Grinder is Peterson’s largest horizontal grinder, and is designed for operations that need the most durable, highest output machine.

Powered by a 1125hp (839 kW) Tier IV, Caterpillar C32 engine or an export only Tier II 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 Horizontal Grinder 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. System pressure transducers and remote monitoring capability simplify set up and provide complete engine and system parameters.

Features

3-stage Grinding Process

The powerful up-turn 3-stage grinding process provides better fracturing of material and a more consistent product, giving you just the product your buyers want.

Impact Release System Protects Your Investment

The air bags on the patented Astec Impact Release System provide uniform grinding and protection from contaminated feedstock, a feature unique to Peterson grinders.

The Second Line of Defense: The Impact Cushion System

Urethane cushions and shear pins help protect the mill from catastrophic damage in the event of a severe impact from contaminants in the feedstock.
