HFG V On Trailer

The Large Shredder HFG V LS is an ultra-heavy-duty industrial high-speed hammer mill and biomass shredder engineered for continuous, large-scale commercial organics processing and land-clearing recovery operations.

Sitting above the HFG IV LS in continuous power and throughput, the HFG V LS is designed for regional resource recovery parks, large forestry harvesting depots, high-tonnage industrial composting sites, and bio-energy plants. It features an enlarged crushing throat, an extra-heavy solid steel rotor, and severe-duty powertrain configurations to process high-volume tree boles, full hardwood root balls, and bulky timber demolition scrap without material bridging.

• Cutting & Hammer System: Dynamically balanced, extra-heavy high-speed impact rotor equipped with heavy-duty, free-swinging reversible alloy or tungsten-carbide-tipped flail hammers.
• Drive Power Rating: Industrial turbo-diesel engine or dual-motor stationary electric drive generating 450 kW to 570+ kW (approx. 600 HP to 770+ HP) of continuous operational power.
• Infeed Configuration: Extended heavy-duty steel flight slat floor conveyor paired with an aggressive, high-displacement hydraulic floating top feed drum with active down-pressure control.
• Throughput Capacity: High-tonnage throughput capable of processing 120 to over 200 m3 per hour (depending on input moisture, wood species, and bulk density).
• Discharge Geometry: Extra-wide hydraulic folding discharge conveyor belt with discharge heights exceeding 4.8 meters for loading bulk walking-floor semi-trailers or building massive storage stockpiles.
• Mobility / Chassis: Heavy-duty tri-axle road trailer with air/ABS braking systems, or an independent heavy-duty steel crawler track undercarriage for rough terrain.

• Throughput Rating: The HFG V LS delivers peak throughput ratings up to 200+ m3/h, outperforming the HFG IV LS (80–150 m3/h) and the HFG II LS (40–80 m3/h).
• Powertrain Displacement: Driven by up to 570+ kW (770+ HP) powertrains, providing massive rotational kinetic energy to process thick-diameter hardwood trunks and stringy root masses without engine RPM droop.
• Expanded Infeed Geometry: The wider, deeper hopper throat allows continuous feeding via 20- to 30-tonne excavators and large wheel loaders with high-capacity grapple buckets.
• Structural Frame Mass: Fabricated with reinforced box-section chassis steel, thicker Hardox wear plate liners, and larger-diameter rotor shaft bearings to absorb extreme continuous vibration.

The HFG V LS is engineered for high-tonnage forestry, land-clearing, and commercial waste streams:

• Massive Tree Trunks & Canopies: Large-diameter hardwood logs, sprawling eucalyptus crowns, pine stems, and heavy storm-fall timber.
• Root Masses & Stump Extraction Waste: Excavated tree stumps, large root boles with soil and grit inclusions, and civil site-clearing timber.
• Forestry Residues & Sawmill By-Products: Massive bark accumulations, forestry slash, log yard residue, and sawmill timber slabs.
• Contaminated Timber & Pallet Scrap: Broken hardwood and softwood shipping pallets with embedded nails, packaging dunnage, and structural demolition wood.
• High-Volume Municipal Green Organics: Bulk council garden waste, landscaping prunings, and tough fibrous vegetation like palm trunks and bamboo.

Unlike conventional knife-cutting chippers that slice cleanly across the wood grain, the HFG V LS uses high-speed flail hammers:

• Maximized Microbial Surface Area: The aggressive kinetic impact splits wood fibers longitudinally, creating a frayed, open-fiber structure that accelerates microbial penetration and reduces aerobic composting cycle times by up to 50%.
• Optimized Biomass Boiler Combustion: Delivers consistent, high-surface-area wood particles that ignite and combust evenly in industrial biomass power plants and fluidized-bed boilers.
• Interlocking Mulch Quality: The splintered output creates a fibrous, interlocking mulch layer that resists wind erosion and water runoff on highway batters and revegetation embankments.

Large-scale green waste and land-clearing debris frequently contain uncrushable contaminants like steel stakes, chains, rebar, and rock:

• Pendulum Shock Absorption: Hammers are mounted on heavy-duty, hardened alloy steel pivot pins. When a hammer strikes an uncrushable object, it swings backward into the rotor body, absorbing kinetic shock rather than transferring destructive stress to the rotor shaft or bearings.
• Hydraulic Float & Reverse: The heavy-duty top infeed drum automatically floats upward or reverses direction if an oversized, non-crushable object wedges in the throat.
• Foreign Object Trap: Dense contaminants passing through the breaking zone are ejected into a dedicated tramp material collection chamber before reaching the outfeed conveyor.

The machinery complies with Australian Machine Safety Standards (AS/NZS 4024):

• Multi-Tier Ballistic Safety Curtains: Heavy-duty segmented steel chains and reinforced rubber curtains inside the hopper prevent ballistic kickback of stones or timber splinters.
• Industrial Radio Remote Control: Full proportional wireless remote control enables operators to manage infeed speed, conveyor positioning, reverse cycles, and emergency stops from the safety of an excavator or loader cab.
• Interlocked Hydraulic Service Hoods: Hydraulically raised maintenance hoods feature dual-channel safety limit switches that completely isolate the engine and lock out hydraulic circuits before access is permitted.
• Automated Fire Deluge & Spark Suppression: High-pressure misting nozzles mounted above the rotor housing suppress airborne dust and extinguish combustible friction sparks instantly.

• Hammer & Tip Maintenance: Inspect reversible hammer tips regularly; rotate or replace worn tungsten-carbide tips to maintain high cutting impact and dynamic rotor balance.
• Anvil & Breaker Comb Adjustment: Check and adjust the clearance between the counter-comb and swinging hammers to achieve the desired degree of timber defibration.
• Automated Central Lubrication: Maintain the automated multi-line greasing reservoir that continuously lubricates the main rotor bearings and infeed roller pivot points during operation.
• Engine & Hydraulic Servicing: Perform engine oil, fuel filter, and hydraulic return filter replacements at scheduled 250-to-500-hour service intervals. Smart Waste Australia provides comprehensive scheduled service contracts, genuine OEM wear components, and emergency field support nationwide.
