Engineering and Design Built for the Forest<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n

The Peterson 6700D represents the pinnacle of mechanical robustness in biomass management and industrial grinding. <\/span><\/span><\/span>The chassis is built upon a solid towable tri-axle platform designed to absorb the most severe impacts of processing large volumes of heavy wood<\/span><\/sup><\/sup><\/sup><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>In its transport configuration, it features a travel length of <\/span>1,562 cm<\/span><\/span> and a travel width of <\/span>338 cm<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>It comes standard with system pressure transducers and remote monitoring capabilities that significantly simplify setup <\/span><\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span>, providing total control over engine and system parameters to ensure prolonged mechanical availability and maximum profitability in the field<\/span><\/sup><\/span>.   <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

Superior Feed System and Performance<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/span>Powered by a Caterpillar C32 engine block delivering <\/span>1,125 hp (839 kW)<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/sup><\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>and managed via a PT Tech HPTO 15FX clutch <\/span><\/sup><\/sup><\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, this grinder features a massive hopper with an <\/span>8.4 m\u00b3<\/span><\/span> capacity and a length of <\/span>533 cm<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>The feed system relies on a powerful 5-section feed chain that spans the full width of the hopper<\/span><\/sup><\/sup><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Its impressive standard feed opening of <\/span>168 x 127 cm<\/span><\/span> can expand up to <\/span>168 x 165 cm<\/span><\/span> in its dedicated land clearing mode <\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, allowing the <\/span>107 cm<\/span><\/span> diameter upper compression roll to grab, crush, and feed bulky material without interruption or clogging<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/sup><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

High-Efficiency Grinding and Sizing Quality<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>The reduction core relies on a heavy-duty rotor measuring <\/span>176 cm<\/span><\/span> in width and <\/span>118 cm<\/span><\/span> in diameter, driven at a constant speed of <\/span>840 rpm<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>It supports configurations of 22 bits for a drum rotor or 20 bits for a pinned rotor <\/span><\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span>, utilizing replaceable <\/span>3 x 6.5-inch<\/span><\/span> cutting tools<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Granulometric control is managed by 4 independent grate sections with a total screening area of <\/span>33,890 cm\u00b2<\/span><\/span>, a thickness of <\/span>38 mm<\/span><\/span>, and an angular coverage of <\/span>186\u00b0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>All output is efficiently evacuated by a <\/span>152 cm<\/span><\/span> wide discharge conveyor that reaches stockpiling heights of <\/span>451 cm<\/span><\/span> with belt speeds up to <\/span>213 m\/min<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

Fleet Compatibility and Mobility<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

\n

Unlike tracked variants, the Peterson 6700D is designed as a highly agile wheeled towable unit for long-distance transport.<\/span>

  • Heavy Towing Chassis<\/span><\/span>: The weight is efficiently distributed with <\/span>25,773 kg<\/span><\/span> over the rear tri-axle <\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/sup><\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, coupling to truck tractors via a standard fifth wheel with a hitch height of <\/span>127 cm<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>.<\/span>
    <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Intelligent Control<\/span><\/span>: Features the Peterson Adaptive Control System and radio remote control, optimizing feeding in parallel with other machinery<\/span><\/sup><\/span>.<\/span>
    <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Operational Synchronization<\/span><\/span>: It is the ideal complement for continuous operation in large fixed woodyards or temporary biomass yards, fed by high-tonnage forest excavators or high-flow forwarder cranes.  <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
