The Unimax WD1380 Horizontal Grinder turns yard waste, brush and mixed woody feedstock into high-value, saleable products — the proven workhorse for niche markets such as municipal recycling, pallet recycling, lot clearing, nurseries and tree care debris processing. Its generous feed opening and low sidewalls let whole trees and long material flow in with minimal restriction, keeping production moving without bottlenecks. An intelligent chain feeding system constantly senses load conditions and auto-adjusts feed speed to eliminate no-load operation — even at full capacity, the WD1380 Horizontal Grinder stays working at peak efficiency, delivering smoother feeding and dramatically higher throughput.
The WD1380 Horizontal Grinder delivers outstanding multi-scenario grinding capability — by simply switching between different rotor types, it achieves true multi-function versatility in a single machine. The power system is available with either an electric motor or a diesel engine, greatly enhancing the machine’s cost-effectiveness. Built with core components from internationally renowned brands, the entire unit ensures stable and reliable quality. Refined through years of market validation and continuous customer feedback, the WD16105 Horizontal Grinder has now been upgraded to its third generation: a more ergonomic, human-centric design makes maintenance faster and more convenient, while the continuously improved intelligent feeding system and larger-diameter rotor drive steadily rising throughput — delivering approximately 30% higher output compared to earlier versions. At the same power consumption, this significant boost in production efficiency translates into greater real value for customers.

The feed roller is equipped with aggressive teeth, coupled with down pressure, that provide pull-in power and maintain control of the material being fed to help get the job done efficiently.
Infeed walls wing outwards to increase loading clearance and funnel material.
700L high-strength steel discharge frame delivers high tensile strength, excellent toughness and light weight.
High-hardness steel resists wood friction wear and log/branch impact without deformation or cracking.
Without welded seams, uniform stress distribution, strong impact and deformation resistance. Heavy-duty support gussets are 100% welded.
Wheeled chassis fitted with heavy-duty semi-trailer-grade axles, rugged tires and heavy-duty air brake systems for extended service life.
Internal planetary drive with no chains and sprockets means lower maintenance, more torque and better durability.
The WD Series Horizontal Grinders handle a wide range of biomass feedstocks, especially woody materials including waste wood, tree roots, stumps, trunks, branches, construction formwork, wood pallets and wood slabs, as well as agricultural residues such as cotton stalks, corn stalks and straw.
The WD Series Horizontal Grinders deliver a standard wood chip size of 2–5 cm, and is fully customizable to match operational requirements.
For example, biomass power plants typically burn straw, waste wood and branches as fuel. To meet boiler specifications, straw must be 6–10 cm in length, while wood and branch feedstock should be processed to 5–8 cm or finer.
The final output size is determined by screen aperture, rotor speed and number of blades.
The WD Series Horizontal Grinders features three purpose-built rotor types — blade rotor, hammer rotor, and hammer-blade rotor — each optimized for processing distinct feedstocks. With quick, hassle-free rotor changeover, it delivers exceptional multi-task grinding versatility, adapting seamlessly to varying materials and production requirements.
The blade rotor of the WD Series has been meticulously engineered. The rotor housing is fabricated from 25 mm thick high-manganese wear-resistant steel, while the main shaft is made of 45Cr alloy steel. Blade options include 55SiCr, H12 and Cr12MoV steel grades, all manufactured through a forging process, delivering excellent thermal fatigue resistance, wear resistance and impact resistance. The blades are secured by bolt sleeves and blade clamp plates, which reduces blade wear while protecting the blade body from direct impact by the material. Internally, the rotor is reinforced with five strengthening ribs and carries an additional 600 kg of internal weight, bringing the total rotor weight to 3 tons. This delivers exceptional inertia for greater cutting force and higher throughpu.
The WD series horizontal grinder is equipped with a 4.5 m feed chute manufactured by integral bending. Free of weld seams, it maintains high overall structural strength, featuring a neat appearance and long service life. The support ribs of the feed chute are fabricated with fish-scale welding. This produces well-formed welds with full fusion, uniform stress distribution and outstanding fatigue resistance, effectively enhancing the strength and corrosion resistance of welded areas.
The WD series horizontal grinder is equipped with axles and heavy-duty tyres specially built for heavy semi-trailers. The axles boast high rigidity and ample load margin with excellent torsion and impact resistance. The thickened heavy-duty tyres are tear-resistant and wear-proof, capable of withstanding continuous vibration during operation. They resist deformation under long-term heavy loads and deliver a longer service life. The machine can be towed by tractors, loaders or trucks for flexible long-distance relocation, making it a highly cost-effective solution. An optional air brake system provides fast braking response and stable braking force, delivering reliable stopping performance even when travelling downhill under heavy load, so as to ensure safety during transit.
The WD Series Horizontal Grinders is equipped with an American WPT clutch, whose heavy-duty industrial design ensures smooth power engagement and efficient transmission. Its start-up cushioning and overload protection significantly reduce shock to the engine and drivetrain, while high torque capacity and self-compensating wear adjustment minimize maintenance frequency and downtime, keeping the machine stable and reliable even under harsh, dusty and high-vibration conditions. As a leading American brand certified to ISO 9001-2015 and endorsed by ABS/DNV classification societies, WPT also serves as a mark of quality for the Unimax in international markets, strengthening customer trust and competitiveness.
The WD Series Horizontal Grinders are available with two power system options: electric motor and diesel engine. Engineered to deliver cost-effective power solutions for customers, they allow selection of the optimal power configuration to match diverse grinding scenarios and processing tasks. Electric motor options include brands such as Siemens and Wolong, while diesel engine options feature Weichai and Cummins.
The intelligent feed system self-monitors the machine’s engine speed, makes predictive adjustments and holds the engine at an optimal level, allowing you to spend more time feeding and less time adjusting settings. Once there is a plugging, feed system will stop feeding to protect the machine avoid feeding plugging. production requirements.
The WD Series Horizontal Grinders are equipped with a dual control system that supports two operating modes: a fixed electrical control cabinet and a remote control interface. The two modes complement each other to enable smart, user-friendly operation. Both the feeding and travel systems incorporate intelligent design, which not only enhances operational safety but also delivers a convenient and intuitive user experience.

The tub grinder has two types of blade and hammer on the rotor, the hammer can be used to crush wood with nails such as building templates, and the blade is more suitable for crushing waste wood, tree roots, tree stumps, branches, building templates, board skin, cotton stalks, corn stalks, straw, stalks, etc.
Both Unimax horizontal and tub grinders excel at processing wood waste into saleable products. Choosing between a horizontal grinder and a tub grinder depends on your specific needs, including the types of materials you need to process, desired output size and consistency, mobility requirements, space availability, and budget considerations. Horizontal grinders allow for continuous feeding of long and straight material, while tub grinders are ideal at processing bulky and irregularly shaped materials like whole trees, stumps, brush, and demolition debris.
