The 5710E is particularly suited for land clearing operations or other applications where mobility is desired.
The horizontal grinder is equipped with several features designed to improve efficiency and help operators reduce material handling costs. The 5710E features a larger rotor that can accommodate a greater number of grinding bits. The new rotor is 8% larger and 19% heavier than the previous model. More mass means more grinding power. To keep up with this improved power, the screening area has also been increased, to allow for greater throughput. Additionally, the grate change process has been simplified.
While weight and size have been increased where it counts, the machine is lighter overall. In the redesign process, Astec examined how to maximize efficiency and simplicity at each stage of the grinding process. This included from the rotor to the screens, and even in the new compression roll cylinders, which offer better downforce to help process material as it is fed to the rotor. Source
