The CBI Magnum Force 6400T provides owners the opportunity to process a wide variety of materials such as trees, stumps, contaminated railroad ties and construction and demolition debris. The 6400 features four different field-swappable rotor options that include a forged drum, solid steel, 2-pocket or 4-pocket chipper. The flexibility of this machine helps CBI customers keep up with changing market demands.

“This grinder will put more material on the ground in a shorter timeframe,” said CBI Sales Representative Ed Donovan. “This means lower fuel costs, less wear and tear on the machine and it produces a usable end product for a number of markets, which creates a greater profit for our customers.”

Donovan points to the machine’s swappable rotors and screens as one of its most attractive features. With the push of a button, the unique clamshell design of the hog box provides service-friendly, full access for easy daily maintenance. This feature offers a direct line to lift and remove screens, and greatly simplifies rotor removal through the top of the machine. All four available rotors are designed specifically for easy disassembly and reassembly to make rotor changes quick, easy and inexpensive. This not only limits downtime on the job, but also prevents the aches and pains commonly associated with routine machine maintenance.

“If you can easily do the maintenance, you’ll do the maintenance,” Donovan said. “We build each of our machines as if we’re the contractor that will be using it. CBI doesn’t design machines to meet a certain price point, CBI designs machines to be the best at what they do.”

One of CBI’s most recent Magnum Force 6400 customers is Site Prep Pipeline Clearing, a nationwide contractor that specializes in right of way clearing via chipping and grinding debris. Their services are ideal where burning and burying of debris is restricted for pipeline clearing projects. Since December 2014, Site Prep has utilized the Magnum Force 6400 for grinding heavily contaminated railroad ties and has consistently produced an economical end product.

“There are biomass opportunities for forestry contractors because grinding and chipping are both options with the 6400,” Donovan said. “Its multiple rotors give customers like Site Prep a serious advantage in expanding its market share.”

The annual conference and trade show focuses heavily on the challenges of producing renewable energy from organics. Given the Magnum Force 6400’s flexibility to be configured as a grinder or a chipper, it comes as no surprise that it’s making an appearance for a live demonstration.
