2025 Vermeer® Horizontal Grinders HG4000

HG4000 highlights
  • A mid-sized grinder with aggressive performance and capacity
  • Robust build quality for confident longevity
  • Maintenance-friendly design optimizes serviceability
  • Equipped with Vermeer innovations to help protect your investment and optimize efficiency

Features may include:

Productive and powerful
  • The feed roller is equipped with aggressive teeth, coupled with down pressure that provide pull-in power and maintain control of the material being fed to help get the job done efficiently.
  • The Series III hardfaced duplex drum offers durability and convenient maintenance, with the ability to remove and replace single hammers and balance the drum externally.
  • With a feed opening of 42-in x 60-in (106.7 cm x 152.4 cm) and robust infeed sidewalls that are double the strength of its predecessor, you can feed whole trees and other large material with less restriction.
  • Maximize feeding capability with machine sidewalls that provide optimal flow of material and minimize operator interaction.
Intelligent operation
  • The intelligent feed system self-monitors the machine's engine speed, makes predictive adjustments and holds the engine at an optimal level, allowing you to spend more time feeding and less time adjusting settings.
  • Machine damage caused by metal contaminants entering the hammermill can be costly. The Vermeer Damage Defense system helps protect your machine by detecting certain metal contaminants.
  • An industry-leading, full-function, wireless remote control lets you adjust machine settings from the cab as conditions change, including control of the infeed settings, engine droop, conveyor height and more.
Ease of maintenance
  • The grinder's design includes large access shields, ladders, a dropdown platform for engine access, mill access from the front or top, remote grease zerks and drive belt tensioning — optimizing serviceability and minimizing maintenance time.
Safety
  • Reduce the quantity and distance of thrown material debris with the Thrown Object Deflector (TOD), strategically placed to reduce interference when loading over-length material.
