Peterson R+ Grinder Package

With 10+ years of development, the R+ package combines the very best in engineering and innovative design to equip a typical “high speed” Peterson horizontal grinder into a “medium speed” machine, utilizing the production of a typical high speed grinder, and the protection of a slow-speed shredder.

With performance nearly doubling the output of typical slow speed shredders, R+ equipped Peterson horizontal grinders offer a solution that has high output, and superior machine protection against ungrindable materials.

Typical R+ applications include Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris, chunk wood such as stumps, storm debris, railroad ties, and other materials.

The R+ package uses a specially designed rotor with high and low bits, that turns at half the speed of our standard units. This processes material through a specialized heavy duty grate, with the high and low bits passing through the fingers, providing extensive fracturing surfaces for superior product reduction.

The R+ package utilizes Peterson’s patented Impact Release System, and Impact Cushion System to protect your investment against an ungrindable object, but has additional modifications such as a heavier duty cushion block to prevent nuisance openings, and an upgraded Impact Release System designed to perform in the harsher environment.

Other mods include more space for ground material to exit the machine, and a heavier duty discharge belt.

Already own a Peterson grinder? Your 4700, 5700, or 6700-series machine may be able to be upgraded as a package so you can take on the difficult jobs that you may have passed by before. Likewise, if you no longer need the protection of the R+ package, and your grinder is going into other applications, the R+ specific parts can be removed and replaced with standard units to change the machine back to a standard “high speed” grinder– no other machine on the market can do that!
