2011 West Salem 4260S

1,000 hours on a 2011 West Salem 4260S — that’s roughly 70 hours per year on an electric hammermill grinder. That level of low annual use is uncommon and suggests minimal wear on major components.

Who This Machine Is For

• Recycling yards — ideal for stationary wood and material processing
• Industrial operations — designed for consistent, controlled production
• Material processors — handles uniform feedstock with steady output
• Operators looking for electric systems — reduced fuel and engine maintenance

What It Grinds

• Wood fiber — processes material into fine, consistent output
• Regrind material — suitable for secondary processing applications
• Light organic material — handles controlled feedstock efficiently
• Processed wood waste — reduces material to smaller sizing

This is not a chipper. It uses a hammermill system, so the output is ground material, not uniform chips.

Specs in Plain Language

This unit is powered by an electric drive system, which reduces fuel costs and engine maintenance. It does require a proper electrical setup to operate.

With only 1,000 hours over 14 years, you’re looking at about 70 hours per year. That’s very low usage and can mean less wear on major components like the rotor and bearings.

This machine features a heavy-duty hammermill design with a 27" x 63" opening and a 42" rotor diameter. It includes 4 rows of 40 hammers, set up for approximately 1" minus grinding depending on material.

The system includes a direct drive motor, top-loading infeed chute, auger feed, and discharge tub. It also comes with a 60" wide VFD panel and a 3HP hydraulic power pack for operation control.

This is a complete setup for stationary processing, designed to handle material efficiently in a controlled environment.
