Vermeer - HG4000TX - Self-Propelled Horizontal Grinder Brochure

HG4000TXHG4000TXHorizontal GrinderSteadfast strengthin a maneuverablepackageDesigned to offer access to remoteareas and quick repositioning withoutthe need for additional supportequipment, Vermeer introduces thefully self-propelled HG4000TX. Similarto other track-driven Vermeer grindermodels, 20" (51 cm) wide doublegrouser track pads use sealed trackrollers and compressed coil springs tohelp reduce material build-up in thetrack system.Powered by a 440 hp (328 kW)Caterpillar diesel engine, theHG4000TX provides an efficientbalance of strength and fuel economy. What's more, the engine is fully enclosed, helping to reduceengine noise. Additional productivity-enhancingfeatures include the Vermeer-exclusiveSmartGrind system and an infeedover-pressure/auto-reverse function tohelp prevent infeed operations fromstalling due to material wedging. A 48"(122 cm) wide, V-cleat dischargeconveyor is designed to smoothly exitprocessed material from the machine.Built on a similar platform as othermodels in the Vermeer grinder lineup,the HG4000TX is ready to provideexceptional performance for yourdemanding operations.Control panel. A centralized controlstation provides real time performanceinformation and full instrumentation.The control panel is also equipped with diagnostic ports for monitoringsystems and troubleshooting.The one, the only, Duplex Drum.The patented Duplex Drum cuttingsystem offers optimum cuttingperformance with full surfacecoverage of the material. In addition,it offers the latest technology inhammer design and replacementprocedures in the industry.Maintenance time is reduced due toeasy hammer and cutter block changeout. Plus, hammers and cutter blocksare reversible, therefore nearlydoubling hammer life.Building a VermeerGrinder Dynasty.Formed alloy slat and chain feedtable. The HG4000TX feed tablefeatures a solid floor design withcontinuous support of the infeed chainto help improve structural support andincrease chain life.HG4000TXHG4000TXHorizontal GrinderThe HG4000TX features theThrown Object Deflector (TOD).The TOD reduces the quantity anddistance of thrown material debris.Additionally, the TOD is strategicallypositioned to reduce interference whenloading over-length material.Easy access screens areengineered with top-loadingdesign to allow the operator tochange screens more easily, andin less time than conventionalside loading screens. A variety ofscreen sizes are available to meetspecific project needs.SmartGrind. With the patented SmartGrindsystem, an advanced control system constantlymonitors engine rpm and material feed rates. If difficult material causes engine rpm to dropbelow an efficient operating range, the systemstops and reverses material until rpm is restored. For material of difficult sizes and shapes, thesystem includes feed roller down pressure.Controlled by the operator, the feed roller appliesdown pressure and reverses independently fromthe feed table to reposition the material.Ground clearance. The HG4000TX is designedwith 16” (41 cm) of ground clearance, enhancingthe unit's ability to traverse difficult terrain.A state-of-the-art wireless remotecontrol unit allows the operator to runmost machine functions from up to 300'(91 m) away.HG4000TX SpecificationsGeneralWeight: 56,000 lb (25,401 kg)Length: 37.2' (11.3 m)Width: 8.2' (2.5 m)Height: 11.6' (3.5 m)HammermillDrum diameter: 22.5” (57 cm)Tip diameter: 28.6" (73 cm)Drum cutting length: 51.2" (130 cm)Drum skin thickness: 1.5" (3.8 cm)Drum speed: 1050 rpmNumber of hammers: 8Number of cutters: 16Screen weight: 398 - 482 lb (181 - 219 kg)Screen dimensions: 55" x 44" x 11" (140 x 112 x 28 cm) Number of screens: 30Anvil: Removable weldment EngineMake / model: Caterpillar C13Aspiration: Turbocharged and charge air cooledNumber of cylinders: 6Horsepower (gross): 440 hp (328 kW)Cooling medium: Liquid Air cleaner: 2 stageOil filter: Spin on remoteElectrical system: 24 VFuel tank capacity: 225 gal (852 L)Fuel consumption at full load: 22.6 gph(85.65 L/hr)Operation range (full load): 10 hoursDrive LinePT Tech electronically controlled dry clutchControlsFull-function operator’s station with radio remote control standardRemote control functions:Feed roller rotation (reverse)Feed roller (raise/float/crush)TOD (raise/lower)SmartGrind (on/off)Track propel (forward/reverse)Machine parameters (adjust/set)Two-speed track driveFeed conveyor (reverse)Throttle controlReal time engine performance dataEngine stopFan (forward/reverse)Infeed SystemFeed roller diameter: 28" (71 cm)Feed roller length: 47.5" (121 cm)Feed roller tooth style: SawtoothFeed roller raise height: 38" (97 cm)Feed roller down pressure: Hydraulically adjustableFeed throat height: 25.75" (65 cm)Feed table width: 50" (127 cm)Feed table length: 14' (4.3 m)Feed conveyor type: Formed alloy slat chainHopper load height: 7.8' (2.3 m)DischargeConveyor type: One-piece V-cleatConveyor belt width: 48" (122 cm)Conveyor belt length: 52.5' (16 m)Loadout conveyor length: 12.2' (3.7 m)Discharge height: 9.8' (3.0 m)UndercarriageTrack frame: Rigid frameLength (on ground): 11.4' (3.5 m)Track pad type: D4 double grouser Track pad quantity: 51Track pad width: 20" (51 cm)Hydraulic SystemImplementType: Pressure and flow compensatedOil tank capacity: 92 gal (310 L)Oil type: HyPower 68Fan driveType: Hydraulic open loopOil type: HyPower 68Track driveType: Hydraulic closed loopGround DriveType: Dual path hydrostatic drive with planetary transmissionGround speed: 0 - 3.0 mph (0 - 4.8 km/h)Ground pressure: 9.5 psi (0.66 bar)OptionsHydraulic auto-reversing fanMagnetic tail pulleyInfeed hopper extensionHeavy duty infeed chain8.2'(2.5 m)11.6'(3.5 m)37.2'(11.3 m)9.8'(3.0 m)PN 1800079864/08 5kEquipment shown is for illustrative purposes only and may display optional accessories or components.
