Hog Brochure
Knife Hog or Grinder

The largest selection of reduction equipment offered, knife hogs use high speed, high inertia design. Solid rotating cylinders are machined from either cast carbon or stainless steel depending on each customer's specifications. The stainless castings are used primarily in munitions grinding and the food industry. Capacities can range from 200 lbs to 20,000 lbs per hour depending on the material being reduced.

The 13 and 14 Series Knife Hogs meet the majority of customer needs and are available in 14 models with or without screens. Feed openings range from 10" x 11" to 20" x 54". Motors are offered from 25 HP to 500 HP.

The 15 series knife hogs are used where tramp, foreign material may present a problem. With breakaway steel struts, any foreign material entering the unit will cause a hinged door to open, allowing the material to escape, saving costly rebuilds. Sizes offered are similar to to those offered with the Series 13 and 14 Knife Hogs.
