Horizontal Grinder
Compact Design, Powerful Performance
The EC-256 offers precision grinding in a smaller footprint. With an infeed conveyor and grinding rotor that are 10” narrower than the EC-366, the EC-256 efficiently processes materials while requiring less horsepower. This streamlined design makes it an ideal solution for operations seeking reliable performance, energy efficiency, and consistent results in a compact package.
