Hoggers are specialized machines primarily used in the woodworking and recycling industries for processing large volumes of wood waste and other materials. They are designed to efficiently convert bulky materials into smaller, manageable pieces, making them ideal for applications such as chip production, waste reduction, and preparation for further processing.

Key Features

High Production Capacity: Hoggers are engineered for high throughput, capable of handling large quantities of material quickly. For example, the 1200 Series High Production Hogger can produce hand-sized pieces suitable for high-density baling, making it ideal for corrugated box plants and sheet plants.

Advanced Airflow Design: Many hoggers utilize a “cross-draft” airflow system that minimizes the risk of plug-ups during operation, ensuring continuous performance even when processing dense materials.

Heavy-Duty Construction: These machines often feature a robust design with a heavy-duty arbor and reversible steel blades that enhance durability and cutting efficiency. The arbor typically measures 22 inches tip to tip.

Precision Controls: Equipped with PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and touch screen controls, hoggers provide operators with real-time diagnostics and system efficiency tracking, allowing for better management of the production process.

Safety Features: Hoggers come with built-in safety mechanisms such as current overload meters that automatically stop the machine when excessive load is detected, preventing damage to the equipment
