Overview

Heavy duty and mobile, the 1700D Horizontal Grinder can readily reduce a wide range of materials.

The large feed opening on the 1700D measures 54″ x 27″ (137 x 69 cm). When boosted by the high-lift feed roll, the feed opening’s maximum lift of 41.5 inches (105 cm) can tackle the largest of feedstock, and allows excellent accessibility to the rotor for maintenance.

The 1700D Horizontal Grinder is equipped with a Caterpillar Tier IV C9.3 455 hp (EU Stage V, 339 kW) engine, or an optional, export-only C9.3B Tier III, 415 hp (309 kW) engine. At 44,000 pounds (20 000 kg), it is the lightest of the grinder
series, and is easily transportable.

Features

3-stage Grinding Process

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.
