MASTICATION EQUIPMENT
West Range Reclamation offers a full stable of state of the art, late-model, grinding equipment for all your mastication needs
The West Range Reclamation grinders can masticate logging slash, whole trees, and brush to any desirable specification from coarse chunky to a fine, landscaped finish in accordance to your forest management plan.The finer the mulch size, the more time it takes to masticate the material.Fine mulch is aesthetically pleasing, but the cost per acre is higher and, if left in excess, fine mulch can have ecological consequences.When too much mulch is allowed to accumulate, it can "insulate" the ground. The ground may not reach its normal temperature; the mulch will decompose at a slower rate; and it may take longer for native vegetation to regenerate.In many cases, the acceptable mulch depth determines how much timber will be harvested and removed from the site prior to grinding/mastication operations.
WRR's 300 HP Tigercat M726 grinders are equipped with Fecon horizontal shaft grinding attachments. In a horizontal shaft head, materials to be shredded are drawn up inside the machine and forced against two sets of knives. The grinding action is contained inside the head, leading to a much safer work environment. During mastication, woody material is directed downward using the ground as the anvil and not spraying debris laterally like verical shaft heads. A horizontal shaft head is much safer from a fire standpoint also. Chips from these heads are less likely to ignite; but, if there is an ignition, the operator can simply run over the fire with the head in the ground and snuff it out.
Our 425hp Kodiak tracked grinder is equipped with a FAE horizontal shaft head and is capable of working cross slope environments. It also has a lower ground pressure than most rubber tired grinders for minimal resource damage in soft ground conditions.
