Peterson 4710D Horizontal Grinder

Overview

The 4710D Horizontal Grinder is a track mounted horizontal grinder designed for high-volume producers with very demanding end-product specifications.

Boasting 18 inches (46 cm) of ground clearance—this model is particularly suited for land clearing operations or other applications where mobility and frequent moving is desired. Track mounting also reduces material handling costs in conventional recycling yards as well.


The 4710D Horizontal Grinder is powered by a Tier IV Caterpillar C18 engine rated at 755 horsepower (563 kW). A Tier II (export only), 765 horsepower (570 kW) engine is also available. It features Peterson’s Adaptive Control System, which controls all components of the feed system to optimize output. This system senses variations in the engine load and adapts the operating parameters to produce the maximum amount of material at all times.

Applications

  • Organic Recycling

    Green waste recycling is fresh or biodegradable waste material including grass, leaves, plants and tree trimmings that can be diverted from landfills for recycling. This method is best used to produce compost for use on gardens, lawns, erosion control projects and agricultural crops.

  • Mulch

    Organic mulch is a product that can decompose, providing nutrients to the soil over time. It can be made from a variety of materials, typically organic, but not exclusively.

  • Wood Waste Recycling

    Wood waste is the second largest category of construction and demolition (C&D) debris, and accounts for 10% of material added to landfills annually.

  • Orchard Clearout

    Commercial orchards are cleared on a rotating cycle to remove lower producing or unhealthy deciduous fruit, citrus and nut trees or to replace them with a more valuable crop. New, higher-producing trees are replanted so the cycle can start again.

  • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Recycling

    Municipal solid waste (MSW) consists of everyday items we use and then throw away, such as product packaging, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps and newspapers. These items come from our homes, schools, businesses, etc.

  • Construction & Demolition Recycling

    Construction and demolition recycling (C&D) is mixed material associated with construction and demolition. The material could include wood, cardboard, gypsum, plastic, metal, wire, roofing shingles, asphalt, concrete and more. By separating and recycling different materials it reduces landfill waste and associated costs, while also producing value-added products.

  • Salvage Timber

    Salvage logging is the removal of dead or damaged trees from forestlands that have been damaged by wildfire, harsh winds, flood, disease, infestation of insects and other natural causes.

  • Natural Disaster Cleanup

    Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires or floods create debris that must be cleared to restore affected areas. This type of debris can be green waste (such as tree limbs), furniture, drywall or entire structures that have to be demolished and recycled.

  • Land Clearing

    Land clearing generally consists of trees, limbs and roots cleared from forested or partially forested land that will be used for a new purpose including farming, commercial development or right-of-ways.

  • Biomass

    Biomass is an energy source derived from renewable and sustainable organic materials to create electricity or other forms of power. Horizontal grinders and drum chippers are highly productive machines for creating biomass.

  • Playground Chips

    Playground chips/mulch typically have a fibrous consistency, free of twigs, leaves and hazardous materials, no larger than two inches long and have the ability to drain water.

  • Compost

    Compost is decomposed organic matter derived from either a single source material or blended for specific application performance. Materials can include garden debris, kitchen scraps, manure or yard and lawn waste.
