We’ve designed the Morbark 3800XL Wood Hog to be the best horizontal grinder on the market. A larger, more aggressive hammermill and independent drive motors on the feed-wheel and belt-chain result in a continuous feed with higher production, greater fuel efficiency, and a more consistent end product. The 3800XL Wood Hog will dramatically increase your production capacity and operating efficiency.
Feed System - Internal planetary drive with no chains and sprockets means lower maintenance, more torque and better durability.
Morbark Integrated Control Systems (MICS) - Automatically adjusts feed rates and monitors pressures and feed wheel position to maximize production and engine efficiency.
Externally Adjustable Break-Away Torque Limiter Optional - Flexible, easily adjustable torque limiter helps protect the driveline and hammermill for damage.
Hammermill - Laser-cut upturn rotor, factory-balanced with T-1 hammers, offers unsurpassed durability and smooth operation.
Infeed opening: 59”¾” x 40” (151.76 cm x 96.52 cm)
Variable speed infeed system consists of one 34” (86.36 cm) diameter top compression feed roll with internal drive and a 16” long x 59”¾” (4.88 m x 151.8 cm) wide live floor equipped with four strands of WDH-120 chain in a staggered configuration with direct drive.
Discharge system consists of a hydraulically driven, horizontal 48” x 17’9” (121.92 cm x 5.41 m) long aggregate belt conveyor discharging onto a 36” wide x 26’10” (91.44 cm x 7.9 m) long stacking conveyor with hydraulic fold for transport.
32” x 60 3/8” (81.28 cm x 153 cm) hammermill system constructed of heavy-duty 20” (50.8 cm) diameter rotor; (16) 1-1/4” (3.17 cm) thick, two-piece laser-cut rotor plates to ensure precision and enforce steel strength. The plates are keyed on a 7” (17.78 cm) diameter shaft with 4-7/16” (11.27 cm) bearings on both ends of the rotor and eight 2-1/4” (5.7 cm) hammer retaining rods. Hammermill pattern has (18) 2” (5.08 cm) balanced forged heavy-duty hammers, (18) 3-1/16” (7.78 cm) wide, double-edged replaceable inserts and 18 rakers.
