A tub grinder is a high-throughput grinding machine that uses a large rotating tub to feed material into a hammermill. The tub design accepts oversized, irregular material that other grinders can't handle: whole stumps, root balls, full pallets, and tangled brush piles go in without pre-processing.
Common applications include:
Tub grinders are the go-to machine when the material is too large, too inconsistent, or too tangled for a horizontal grinder.
Industry standard for heavy-duty tub grinders. Known for durability and high-volume throughput in demanding applications. Browse Morbark equipment.
Built for contractors who need reliable performance in wood waste and land clearing operations.
Aggressive grinding performance with a reputation for handling the toughest material. A favorite in the recycling and composting industries. Browse Diamond Z equipment.
