2024 Vermeer® Horizontal Grinders HG4000

When your waste becomes too much to handle, the HG4000 horizontal grinder is here. Built for aggressive performance and high capacity in a compact footprint, this machine has industry-leading features that make it a dependable, efficient and durable mid-sized grinder. The HG4000 is equipped with innovative technology and aggressive performance in a next-generation.

Features may include:

• Optimize productivity and flexibility when operating the grinder with these two features: An industry-leading (or technologically-advanced), full-function, wireless remote control lets you, from the cab, adjust machine settings as conditions change, including control of the infeed settings, engine droop, conveyor height and more. The 7-in onboard color touch screen display shows machine data and allows you to intuitively set up the machine for maximum efficiency.

• Machine damage caused by metal contaminants entering the hammermill can be costly. The Vermeer Damage Defense system helps protect your machine by detecting certain metal contaminants, which reduces the likelihood of metal being processed by the hammermill. Combined with the cross band magnet that minimizes metal from ground material, you can maximize the value of your end product.

• The 536-hp (399.7-kW) CAT C13B engine provides the horsepower needed for processing difficult materials, and is backed by worldwide service and support for maximum productivity.

• With a feed opening of 42 in x 60 in and robust infeed sidewalls that are double the strength of its predecessor, you can feed whole trees and other large material with less restriction. The feed roller is equipped with aggressive teeth, coupled with down pressure, that provide pull in power and maintain control of the material being fed to help get the job done efficiently. Maximize feedability with low side walls, providing optimal flow of material and minimizing operator interaction.

• The grinder's maintenance-friendly design features large access shields, ladders, dropdown platform to access the engine, mill access at the front or the top, remote grease zerks and drive belt tensioning. This optimizes serviceability and minimizes maintenance time.

• Let the machine do the work. The intelligent feed system self-monitors the machine's engine speed, makes predictive adjustments and holds the engine at an optimal level. This allows you to spend more time feeding and less time adjusting settings, which maximizes your productivity and fuel efficiency.
