Peterson 5710E Horizontal Grinder

Overview

The Peterson 5710E horizontal grinder is the newest tracked horizontal grinder in the Astec line.

The 5710E is designed for high-volume producers who require frequent moves among sites. The 5710E features a ground fuel option, improved approach angles, a 4,515 square-inch screening area and an 8% larger rotor with more bits. The machine weight is also lighter than its predecessors.

Powered by a Tier IV Caterpillar C27 1,050 hp (783 kW) engine or an optional C32 1,125 hp (839 kW) engine, the 5710E can easily tackle a variety of materials, having a positive impact on efficiency and productivity.
