Waste Reduction Grinders

The Hopper Series is an innovative line of grinders designed to meet diverse waste reduction needs. These grinders offer flexible solutions for various industries by efficiently processing small and larger scraps, effectively turning waste into valuable resources.

Equipped with vertical feed systems, these grinders are perfect for dump-and-go operations. With rotor widths ranging from 2 to 10 feet, customers can easily find a model that fits their specific material size and volume requirements.

These units can handle outputs ranging from 400 to 40,000 pounds per hour. Hopper grinders can produce various output materials simply by changing the screens and transforming waste into valuable products such as animal bedding or landscaping mulch.

Additionally, innovative PLC-controlled hydraulics enhance the grinder’s operational efficiency, providing smooth and responsive control over the system's functions.

Feeding Options

The Hopper Series grinders offer flexible feeding options, allowing customers to choose the method that best suits their operational setup:

• Batch-Feed with Dump Hoppers: Ideal for simultaneously processing large quantities of waste. 
• Conveyor-Feed: For continuous feeding and efficient processing.
• Direct Collection and Reduction: These grinders can be integrated directly into a manufacturing line to collect and reduce waste on the go.

Horizontal grinders combine flexibility and efficiency, making them ideal for different environments, ranging from small woodworking shops to large-scale cabinet, flooring, and veneer manufacturing operations. Whether the task is small-scale or industrial, these grinders are built to meet demanding requirements, ensuring optimal performance and productivity.

These grinders have advanced top and bottom infeed rotors that greatly improve material handling capabilities. Additionally, motorized infeed rotors and an efficient cutting system enhance throughput capacity.

Depending on the model, horizontal grinders come with either belt-feed or balanced shaker-feed input conveyors, making them ideal for in-line operations. These grinders also offer various discharge methods, including conveyors, screw augers, and air discharge systems.

Specialized Models: The series also includes a horizontal model designed for grinding slabs and pallets, featuring an infeed system constructed from a heavy-duty steel chain.

Aggressive Cutting System

Challenger grinders are designed with the most aggressive cutting system available, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness in processing materials. This makes them ideal for high-demand operations.

Low-Speed High Torque Drive

Equipped with a low-speed, high-torque drive, these grinders deliver high throughput while maintaining a consistent particle size. This design reduces noise and requires minimal maintenance, providing a hassle-free user experience.

Heavy Duty Componentry

Constructed with heavy-duty components throughout, Challenger grinders guarantee durability and longevity. Each part is engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy use, minimizing wear and tear.

Solid Steel Construction

The main rotor and shaft are crafted from a single piece of solid steel, ensuring strength and reliability. This construction minimizes the risk of component failure and extends the machine's lifespan.

Stress-Free Side Wall Construction

The heavy-duty, stress-free side wall construction adds to the durability of Challenger grinders, enabling them to withstand high-pressure environments without compromising structural integrity.

Advanced Programmable Logic Controls

The integration of programmable logic controls allows for precise operation and customization. Users can easily adjust settings to optimize performance for specific tasks, enhancing the system's versatility.

Safety and Protection

All Challenger grinder components are designed with safety in mind, ensuring a secure operating environment. Safety features are seamlessly integrated to provide peace of mind during operation.
