Tub Grinder

Tub grinders are excellent for grinding most kinds of cellulosic materials.  This includes grass, leaves, hay, and just about any type or wood or wood product.  Tub grinders are used to grind up pallets, waste wood from manufacturing or construction, tree waste from land clearing and landscaping, and many other applications.

An eight foot tub grinder with 125 horsepower can be an excellent machine for yard waste, brush, pallets, or to regrind material from a larger machine.  On the other end of the spectrum, a sixteen foot tub grinder with 1200 horsepower will make short work of ten foot stumps all day long.  In between there is a tub grinder for every wood grinding need and for every pocket book.  Prices for tub grinders range from $50,000 or less to well over half a million dollars.

People grind wood for all kinds of purposes.  The size of the material from a tub grinder depends on the size of the screen in it.  Bigger screen, more production.  Smaller screen, less production.  Depending on source and size, ground material may be used as fuel, as animal bedding, in the manufacture of wood products, composting and of course a major use is mulch.  As more and more locales limit the burning or land filling of wood waste, tub grinders can answer the need to make a product that can be used without polluting the air we breathe, converting a liability to a saleable asset.

With the increasing emphasis on “green” businesses, carbon taxation, and ever increasing regulation at all levels of government, a tub grinder makes a lot of sense for many different kinds of businesses.
