West Salem Machinery (WSM) takes pallet grinding to the next level with the ultimate grinding machines. Whether you’re processing low volumes or high volumes of material, WSM’s complete line of stationary, electric grinders to help you produce marketable products including boiler fuel, mulch, animal bedding, and composite board furnish. A much lower cost solution than portables with advanced maintenance features and mill duty construction.
Lower volume waste generators often select WSM’s hopper-fed grinders. These low-speed grinders generate less noise and dust, providing the flexibility to collect waste from various work stations, and perform well in both indoor and outdoor installations.
For higher volume generators, WSM’s high speed horizontal grinders deliver by reducing handling costs by processing the waste as it’s generated. All at rates up to 50 TPH. Reduce maintenance costs with WSM’s revolutionary pivoting top case for easy access to routine wear parts.
Increase fiber value with other products from WSM including overhead magnets and magnetic head pulleys to remove nails, bolts, and repair plates. Disc screens, trommel screens, and secondary grind hammermills help further maximize the return on your wood fiber material.
WSM grinders and complete processing systems feature mill duty construction for dependable long-term operation and optimal performance in the most demanding applications.
Proven customer satisfaction, decades of successful installations worldwide, and a very knowledgeable sales and support team are all reasons to choose West Salem for your pallet and wood scrap grinding needs.
Mark Lyman, president of West Salem, stated, “Our grinders are built tough to be reliable and last a long time.”
One way that customers can try before they buy is West Salem’s size reduction and screening test facility in Salem, Oregon. This testing facility enables customers to test various feedstocks to see how they perform.
Whether your business involves green or dry wood fiber preparation; biomass fuel preparation; fiber prep for pellets, briquettes, or co-firing; converting ag-residuals for bio-fuels; mulch processing; animal bedding; or other fine-grind materials – WSM’s lab can simulate various size production settings and volumes, as well as provide detailed screen analysis. Depending on the amount of detail required, WSM can supply complete reporting, including sieve analysis and energy usage.
The test facility is equipped with a horizontal grinder, primary shredder, high-speed hammermill, full air discharge capabilities, disc screen, oscillating screen, and screening equipment for sieve analysis. One of its key features is a variable frequency drive system, allowing machines to be run at different speeds to simulate different operating conditions.
Lyman explained, “We invite those interested to come see the testing in person and tour our plant, or we can film the test. Either way, you’ll get WSM’s expert analysis and recommendations on the type and size of equipment will get the results you need.”
