2025 Vermeer® Horizontal Grinders HG6000

Maximize loading speed and productivity using the patented SmartGrind system and hydraulic feed roller down pressure. Open-ended, wide infeed tables are designed to make over-the-side loading easy and efficient.

The Series III duplex drum is built off the proven cutting performance of previous Vermeer duplex drum designs and makes maintenance more convenient with enhancements such as an independently secured wedge system and enhanced drum balancing.

A 60-in (152.4-cm) wide infeed table with flared sidewalls can accommodate a large volume of material.

The intelligent feed system monitors the machine's engine speed, and holds the engine at an optimal level. This allows you to spend more time feeding and less time adjusting settings.

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.

An industry-leading, full-function, wireless remote control lets you adjust machine settings from the cab as conditions change, including control of the infeed settings, engine droop, conveyor height and more.

The feed roller planetary is fully enclosed for protection from debris and offers a tighter clearance between the feed roller and mill housing, helping reduce material blockage and drag on the feed roller circuit.

Reduce the quantity and distance of thrown material debris with the Thrown Object Deflector (TOD), strategically placed to reduce interference when loading over-length material.

Features may include:

  • Bring more versatility to your wood waste processing operation
  • Maintenance-friendly design optimizes serviceability
  • Equipped with Vermeer innovations to help protect your investment and optimize efficiency
