The 3680 Beast Recycler has been Bandit's most popular waste reduction unit. The 3680 has greatly exceeded other grinders in it's class with noted production numbers of over 500 yards or more per hour. With a mill opening of 33 inches by 60 inches and engine options that range from 365- to 700-horsepower, this unit can be setup for any grinding application you may encounter!
Recently, the Model 3680 has been put into numerous types of applications producing valuable end products for the bio-energy industry. One application consists of processing debarked hardwood logs, turning them into a usable end product uniquely name "Beast Bio-Sawdust". This end product is extremely fine, making it perfect for those companies in the pellet industry.
Another application related to the bio-energy industry, includes the Model 3680 supplying grasses for a
cellulose paper plant in Swiecie, Poland. The plant uses the ground
grassy material to fire a boiler that supplies steam and electricity to
the plant. Although the round
bales are larger than the opening into the Beast, the top feed wheel
extends over the top of the bales of material and rolls the bales into
the cuttermill, easily processing the material. Because of the long
infeed bed, bales can continuously be set into the machine ensuring
steady production. The end product is of ideal size for boiler fuel.
Talk about versatile! The above applications are just a few of what this beast can handle. It is also known to process: piled brush, whole trees, stumps, pallets, land clearing waste, green waste, palm fronds, logging slash, sawmill waste, construction waste, housing demolition, railroad ties, shingles and asphalt.
The above materials are transformed into salable products like compost, mulch, animal bedding, fuel for wood-fired boilers, pressed board and more. These units are perfect for landfills that need to convert waste into recyclable products or to reduce the size of material going to the landfill. It is also popular with those converting logging and sawmill waste into useful products like those listed above.
This is the only unit that has the potential to process shingles and asphalt pavement into a hot mix supplement at a rate of 100 tons an hour year round in a single pass without screening. Material is then discharged into a uniform pile, ideal for cold in-place recycling.
