All of our tub grinders, from our PG 900 base model to our powerhouse PG 5200, offer industry-leading user-friendly controls, clutch protection and different hammer options for grinding versatility Precision Husky
“Today, our fuel-efficient, low maintenance and low noise grinders are being used all over the world to manufacture mulch, compost and boiler fuel and to clear and clean jobsites. “In this day and age, at least everybody can agree on high-speed productivity. Our industry leading horizontal and tub grinders will make you wonder how you ever got along without them.”
ProGrind Horizontal Grinders For working with long limbs, Pecision’s high-speed ProGrind horizontal grinders are difficult to beat. There are three models (H-3045, H-3060 and H-4060) to choose from, each with a rugged diesel engine and offering from 520 hp up to 1,050 hp, depending on requirements. The dual cutting surfaces at various depths eliminate frustrating jams. The 3045 offers a 30 in cutting diameter and a 45 in infeed width, the 3060 has a 30 in cutting diameter and a 60 in infeed width, and the 4060 has a 40-inch cutting diameter and a wide 60 in infeed width. ProGrind horizontal grinders are built with a down cut design, which allows operators to switch out the hammermill for a two or four-knife chipper drum. “Many of our customers find this feature a particular cost saver,” Precision said. “No need to buy a chipper when your grinder can do the job.”
ProGrind Tub Grinders Precision Husky also offers six popular models of ProGrind tub grinders, each built with ease of operation, cost and productivity in mind. “All of our tub grinders, from our PG 900 base model to our powerhouse PG 5200, offer industry-leading user-friendly controls, clutch protection
and different hammer options for grinding versatility,” the manufacturer stated. “The tub tilts 90° for easy access to the hammermill, screens and lower auger area. Feedback on the newest offering, the ProGrind 5200, has been “fantastic”. It contains one of the most aggressive hammermills in the industry. It can cut through mountains of green waste at production rates of over 100 t/h. The special double-bolt hammer tips provide more durability and grinding ease, assuring high production rates, less wear on the hammermill and easy maintenance. It’s been called the most powerful, easy to use tub grinder in the industry, according to the manufacturer. The 5200 also is a technological accomplishment. It is operated by a dust and water-resistant, shockmounted control box with a Sauer Plus 1 system, CAN+ radio remote controls and a smart display panel. The enclosed, wet hydraulic clutch is engaged from the control panel with fault indicators using a push button microprocessor. Many customers have chosen the knuckleboom-loader option, complete with air-conditioned cab (standard) and state-of-the-art joystick.
