WSM 2822BH Horizontal Wood Grinder

The West Salem Machinery (WSM) Model 2822BH Horizontal Wood Grinder is a rugged, industrial-duty horizontal-fed grinder designed to efficiently process a wide variety of wood waste into a consistent finished product. Built with WSM's reputation for heavy-duty construction and dependable operation, the 2822BH is well suited for sawmills, pallet recyclers, wood products manufacturers, and biomass processing facilities.

This machine features a 28-inch diameter by 22-inch wide rotor, a 15' vibrating infeed conveyor, and an aggressive powered top feed wheel that work together to provide positive, controlled feeding of material into the grinding chamber. The horizontal feed design allows the grinder to efficiently process long or bulky material that can be difficult to handle in conventional top-fed grinders, while maintaining consistent production and minimizing operator intervention.

This particular grinder is equipped with a 200 HP main drive motor, providing ample power for demanding wood waste reduction applications. For operations with lower production requirements or limited available electrical service, smaller rotor drive motors are available, making it possible to tailor the grinder to a variety of applications and budgets.

• Slab wood
• Edgings and trim ends
• Pallet and crate scrap
• Construction wood waste
• Urban wood
• Bark
• Other clean wood residuals

Replaceable sizing screens allow the machine to produce a consistent finished product suitable for biomass fuel, mulch production, animal bedding, compost feedstock, or further downstream processing. The heavy fabricated housing, industrial bearings, and robust rotor are engineered for long service life in demanding industrial environments.

Typical applications include:

• Sawmill residual processing
• Pallet and crate recycling
• Biomass fuel preparation
• Wood waste reduction
• Landscape mulch production
• Engineered wood product facilities

Designed with maintenance in mind, the WSM 2822BH features large access doors for convenient inspection and service, while modular screen sections simplify screen changes and routine maintenance. Its heavy-duty construction and proven design have made West Salem Machinery grinders a trusted choice for industrial wood processing operations worldwide.
