Vermeer HG4000 horizontal grinder offers cost-conscious features

The all-new HG4000 horizontal grinder from Vermeer features a number of cost-conscious features and engine technology that has shown fuel savings over similarly powered engines in this application. A European-manufactured 332 kW Stage III B Iveco diesel engine powers the HG4000 and meets all European Union emission regulations through selective catalytic reduction (SCR). To reduce material slippage and maintain controlled entry into the mill, a crush boost button function momentarily engages increased feed roller downforce on incoming material. For certain conditions, the variable feed roller downforce can be reduced or temporarily paused to boost fuel efficiency and help extend component wear life. A range of screen configurations, including a dual-screen system, are compatible with the HG4000 and can be mixed and matched to help meet a wide range of end product needs. From a towing perspective, the HG4000 includes a pintle tow hitch and center-axle trailer or standard fifth wheel. Both include CE-required lighting, tires, anti-lock brake system (ABS) and underrun protection
