As your stationary operation looks to electric-power, Vermeer is your partner for the equipment expertise you need. The HG4000E horizontal grinder is equipped with a 500 hp (373 kW) electric motor providing power to the mill. With the option to configure either a soft-start or VFD starter panel – along with Vermeer features like the duplex drum design and or the optional chip drum – the HG4000E has the flexibility and features you need for productive processing on your operation.
The HG4000E is equipped with a 500 hp (373 kW) WEG total enclosed fan-cooled electric motor to power the mill. A separate 50 hp (37.3 kW) electric motor powers the pump for the hydraulic circuits, while a 2 hp (1.5 kW) electric motor powers the fan to cool the hydraulic system.
The motor starter panel provides options to configure a control system that best fits your application - whether that’s a soft-start or VFD panel.
Improve cutting performance using the patented Series II duplex drum system designed with reversible hammers and tips to help reduce daily maintenance and nearly double wear life.
For enhanced flexibility with the HG4000E, a dedicated chip drum – adjustable for product size ranging from .125” to 1.5” (3.2 mm to 38.1 mm) - is available.
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.
Reduce the quantity and distance of thrown material debris with the TOD, strategically placed to reduce interference when loading over-length material.
