Slab Grinding

EC-256 Sawmill Waste Grinder

Rotochopper horizontal grinders offer the most efficient solution for converting slab wood into pellet stock, boiler fuel, playground cushion, or landscape mulch. Our patented slab ramp creates an optimal feeding angle for slabs, maintaining steady processing rates and preventing plugging. Equipped standard on all of our mid-sized and larger models, this exclusive feature allows our grinders to process green pliable slabs that can instantly plug other machines. The slab ramp can be quickly adjusted to create a more aggressive feed angle for larger diameter feedstocks. Our SB-24 is designed specifically to operate in-line with sawmill equipment and features a feed angle suited for slabs. Whether you saw 5,000 board feet in a day or 50,000, a Rotochopper horizontal grinder can turn your slabs from nuisance into profit.
