HG6000E Horizontal Grinder Features & Benefits

Efficient processing

The HG6000E has two electric motors delivering 600 hp (447 kW) to the mill, a 60-hp (44.7-kW) motor for the hydraulic pump, and a 2-hp (1.5-kW) motor for hydraulic cooling.

Maximize loading speed and productivity using the patented SmartGrind system and hydraulic feed roller down pressure. Open-ended, wide infeed tables are designed to make over-the-side loading easy and efficient.  

Flexible configurations

For enhanced flexibility with the HG6000E, a dedicated chip drum — adjustable for product size ranging from .125 in to 1.5 in (3.2 mm to 38.1 mm) — is available. 

Improve cutting performance using the patented Series II duplex drum system with reversible hammers and cutter blocks that simplify maintenance and nearly double wear life. 

Dual screens are designed to maximize the screen area surrounding the drum.

Intelligent operation

The intelligent feed system monitors the machine's engine speed and holds the engine at an optimal level. This allows you to spend more time feeding and less time adjusting settings. 

Machine damage caused by metal contaminants entering the hammermill can be costly. The Vermeer Damage Defense system helps protect your machine by detecting certain metal contaminants. 

An industry-leading, full-function, wireless remote control lets you adjust machine settings from the cab as conditions change, including control of the infeed settings, engine droop, conveyor height and more.

Safety

Reduce the quantity and distance of thrown material debris with the Thrown Object Deflector (TOD), strategically placed to reduce interference when loading over-length material.
