The 2400X is ideal for niche markets like municipal solid waste, pallet recycling, sawmills, nurseries, and tree care debris and both grinders are perfect for processing yard waste, brush and other mixed woody feedstock into saleable product.
One of the most important features of the 2400X and 3000X is their compact size. Their standard width (2400X: 2.29m, 3000X: 2.49m) have them within the legal transport width in any country.
The models also share design features like the sloped infeed sides, which improve operator sight lines for more efficient loading of material, and easy-to-load grate systems.
The 2400X ranges in horsepower 188 to 203 (140.2 – 151.4 kW), while the 3000X has engine options from 350 – 577 HP (260 – 430 kW). Like all of Morbark Wood Hog models, both the 2400X and 3000X also will be available with electric power.
The 3000X has a variable speed infeed system consists of one 86.36cm diameter top compression feed roll with internal drive and a 3.76m long x 146cm wide live floor designed to accept both WD120 and slat chain.
It has a plate and pin style, up-turn hammermill system measures 81.28 cm x 149 cm and has 18 double-edged replaceable inserts and 18 rakers. The discharge system consists of a hydraulically driven, horizontal 106.68cm x 4.3m aggregate belt conveyor discharging onto a 91.44 cm wide stacking conveyor with hydraulic fold for transport and can be equipped with optional magnetic head drum for ferrous metal removal.
Like the 2400X, the 3000X is designed so that a single operator can change the grates. The 3000X’s top-load system with four grates includes a hydraulic hinged door for quick and easy access.
Both models are equipped with the Morbark Integrated Control System (MICS) which allows the operator to automatically adjust feed rates and monitor pressures and feed wheel position to maximize production and engine efficiency.
New smart device apps (IQANrun and IQANsync) allow you to connect to the machine using a phone or tablet’s Bluetooth or allow you to connect the machine directly to Morbark, so Morbark personnel can view and edit the machine’s settings and program or send updated programing.
