Benefit: By eliminating the transition from belly to load-out (which may result in plugging or bottlenecking in some conditions) the HG6000TX provides more throughput and less clean-up under the machine. Feature: Series II Duplex Drum Hammermill Description: Drum consists of 10 hammers and 20 cutter tips with a 36.4" (92.5 cm) cutter tip diameter and 62.4 (158.5 cm) cutting width.
Benefit: This patented design decreases daily maintenance time while increasing the life of major wear components by being able to reverse the cutter tips, hammers and center section of drum. Inertia is increased as compared to "pin and plate style" rotors and balance retention is improved to add life to your machine. Maintenance time is decreased by the ability to remove and replace single hammers along with the ability to externally balance the drum. Feature: Hydraulic Tank Service Shutoff Valves Description: Hydraulic tank is supplied with shutoff values on all supply and return lines. Benefit: Allow for easier servicing of hydraulic components without drain complete tank. Feature: Box Beam-Style Anvil Description: The HG6000TX features a box beam-style anvil. Benefit: The box beam-style anvil, with replaceable wear surfaces on top, uses a wedge system to maximize retention while providing improved resistance to bending. Additionally, serviceability is increased by providing ground level access. Feature: Infeed Drive Motor and Pulley Placement Description: The low speed, high torque radial piston infeed drive motor is now located further away from the impact zone, helping extend its useful life. Benefit: By moving the drive motor 11 (27.9 cm) away from the mill there is less impact loading on the infeed chain and drive pulley. This increased distance also reduces the amount of material lost due to the gap between the chain and anvil. Feature: Easy Access Screens Description: The screens on the HG6000TX load and unload from the top down and a variety of screens are available to meet your customer's needs. Benefit: Top loading screens allow the operator to change screens easily and in less time than the competition. One lift point is included for vertical lifting. Feature: Dual-Screen System Description: Two different screens may be used in the system. Benefit: By allowing for a dual-screen system, screens can be mixed and matched for the desired product. Screens are also reversible and interchangeable to get the maximum usage of the wear portion of the screen. This redesign provides an additional 20 percent screen area over the previous model. Feature: C248 Microprocessor Controller with the DP10 Display and Radio Remote Description: Multi function radio remote allows operator to run most functions away from machine. LCD readout provides engine data and fault logging, as well as ability to adjust a number of infeed and engine parameters according to material type. Benefit: Multi function radio remote allows operator to run most functions away from machine. LCD readout provides engine data and fault logging, as well as ability to adjust a number of infeed and engine parameters according to material type.
Feature: Adjustable Screen Supports Description: The HG6000TX has the ability to adjust the screen supports. Benefit: The adjustable screen supports allow the screen to be moved closer or farther away from hammer tips to match clearance with material types. Feature: Enhanced Mill Box Wear Surfaces Description: Replaceable mill box wear surfaces are thicker. Benefit: Increased thickness of mill box sidewalls in front of the mill as well as allowing the plates between the end of the mill and side wall to be easily replaced by removing hardware and installing new. Optional, abrasion resistant wear plates are available. Feature: Thrown Object Deflector (TOD) Description: A patent pending, hydraulically controlled, cover over the hammermill area deflects material which might be thrown towards the open end of the feed table. This feature is hinged and can be raised or lowered depending upon grinding applications by simply touching a button on the radio remote control. Benefit: Decreases the quantity and distance of thrown objects. Allows machine to be operated in a smaller safe working zone. Feature: Tow Hooks Standard Description: Machines are equipped with 2 hooks located on the track crossmembers. Benefit: This feature aids in moving machine in difficult site conditions. Hooks are located in an area that distributes the load throughout the mainframe. Feature: Track Undercarriage Description: Rigid mounted reinforced boxed track frame. Same system used on T755 trenchers equipped with 20" or 26" (50.8 cm or 66 cm) double grouser track pads using sealed track rollers and compressed coil spring. Benefit: This fully mobile unit allows the operator to efficiently and effectively to move the machine around jobsites whether it be landclearing, compost sites or forest thinning jobs, without the need for additional support equipment. Tracks provide increased traction in unstable ground condition providing access to remote areas or transport across obstacles such as creeks, ditches, soft sandy or wet soil conditions and inclines. Wide track grousers provide as low as 10.2 psi of ground pressure on soft surfaces. Idlers are sealed for life so they are maintenance free and sealed from contamination. Feature: Engine options include a Cat 755-hp (563 kw) Tier 4i (Stage IIIB) engine or a Cat 630 hp (469.8 kw) Tier 3 engine. Description: The HG6000TX features two engine options depending on governmental regulations and fuel availability. Benefit: The Cat 755-hp (563 kw) Tier 4i engine meets all U.S., Canada and European Union tier regulations, and has a 20% increase in horsepower over the Tier 3 engine. The 630 hp (469.8 kw) Tier 3 engine is available for lesser regulated countries not offering ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. Feature: Dolly Transport System Hydraulically Activated Attachment Pins
Description: Four hydraulically activated pins attach the dolly to the grinder frame Benefit: Reduces time needed to move machine between jobsites by eliminating loading onto a highway trailer and tying down. As the pins are locked in the transport position, LED lights illuminate on the control panel. Feature: Dolly Transport System Air Ride Suspension Description: Air ride suspension levels the load between the axles and raises the grinder off the ground when in transport mode. Benefit: Provides even weight distribution among axles and gives the machine 7 (17.8 cm) of ground clearance in transport mode to help traverse uneven ground. Feature: Dolly Transport System ABS Braking System With Remote Parking Brake Release Valve Description: The DT6 is equipped with an ABS braking system with a remote parking brake release system. Benefit: The ABS prevents the wheels from locking up whether the DT6 is loaded or unloaded. The remote parking brake release valve allows the dolly to be unloaded with an alternate vehicle on a jobsite. Feature: Dolly Transport System Pintle Hitch Kit Description: The removable tow bar pintle hitch kit allows the dolly to be towed by an alternate vehicle. Benefit: If the DT6 and HG6000TX are a great distance from each other, the DT6 can be towed with the appropriate vehicle to the grinder, reducing time spent backtracking on the jobsite. Feature: Dolly Transport System Screen Carrier Rack Description: Additional space and tie downs for one set of extra screens. Benefit: Additional space and tie downs for one set of extra screens. Feature: Dolly Transport System Standard Dual Wheels Or Optional Super Single Wheels Description: Customers have the option of either dual wheels or super single wheels. Benefit: The optional super single wheels provide increased floatation on various jobsite conditions. Feature: Dolly Transport System Dual Stabilizers Description: Dual stabilizers attach to grinder infeed frame. Benefit: The dual stabilizers on the HG6000TX are used to lift the machine to match the 5th wheel plate on the truck. They are independently adjustable for working on uneven ground. Feature: Dolly Transport System Fifth-Wheel Placement Description: The fifth wheel has been placed under the infeed system. Benefit: By moving the fifth wheel under the infeed, the HG6000TX with DT6 has reduced turning radius and improved site maneuverability over a conventional lowboy trailer.
