Vermeer has launched the HG400TX Stage V/T4F horizontal grinder for global customers. The unit will be available in select markets across Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America.

Combining functionality and affordability, the Vermeer HG400TX Stage V/T4F is an entry level grinder for tree care and organic recycling businesses to process green waste and pallets at small, narrow jobsites.

“The HG400TX was designed based on customer input from small organic recycling facilities around the world. The compact design allows for ease of transport between jobsites while the track under carriage allows for onsite mobility to reduce material handling and improve efficiency,” explained Jeff Bradley, product manager for recycling and forestry equipment at Vermeer.

Equipped with steel tracks, the self-propelled HG400TX Stage V/T4F can be manoeuvred around different terrains with ease and stability. It has a ground clearance of 220 mm, and rubber pads option is also available. Powered by a 173-hp Caterpillar Stage V/Tier 4 Final engine, the unit can process difficult materials efficiently, thus allowing for thorough grinding of materials and green waste.

Vermeer offers various screen and grinder tip options, making the HG400TX Stage V/T4F suitable for a variety of applications including grinding wood waste and tree stumps to obtain the desired end products. Different end products of varying sizes can be produced, using the diverse range of screens and grinder tips, thus delivering consistent output and maintaining end product quality. Aside from that, the convenient dual-screen side-load design results in easier changes, allowing for product sizing adjustments to be made in less time.

Designed with wide flared walls and a lowerable infeed tailgate to accommodate bulky and lengthy materials, the HG400TX Stage V/T4F also facilitates hassle-free feeding. The steel infeed conveyor chain with dual-driven roller offers enhanced durability while providing powerful pulling force to feed challenging materials.

The HG400TX Stage V/T4F comes with a full function wireless remote control for operator visibility and feed crush management. In addition, the unit is fitted with the Vermeer Plus+1 control system, with four different speed options for more precise feed control.
