SUBJECT: Recommendation on Selection of Yard Waste Grinder
The Town received four responses to its recent solicitation for bids for a yard waste
grinder. THE ESTIMATED MAXIMUM COST AT THE TIME OF BID WAS

TOTAL w/afl options
$359,000-

*Represents estimated cost for conveyance mechanism (dolly system or trailer) to allow for over-the-road
~ansportation, as required in specifications. Only Vermeer failed to meet this requirement. Does not
address other shortcomings in Vermeer bid.
My recommendation is for the selection of the Freedom Hog by Continental Business
Industries. It is the lowest responsible bid in that it meets the Town specifieatious in all
important respects. The grinder bid by Vermeer North Atlantic, while somewhat lower in
price, is a smaller, less capable grinder than what is required by the Town. As indicated
by Vermeer's list of"Exceptions to the Bid," their machine does not contain a number of
features critical to successful performance in our application. These are outlined below.
LOW BIDDER EXCEPTIONS
The apparent low bidder, Vermeer North Atlantic, notes a total of 22 exceptions in their
bid to 83 key specifications required by the Town. At least 8 of these are considered
critical:
1) En~ne size. The Town specified a 630hp engine, an industry standard for the
size machine sought, and exactly equal to the engine in the grinder the Town is
trading in. Ail other bidders bid the proper sized engine. Vermeer bid a 525 hp
engine. A smaller engine will not effectively proeeas the yard waste stream
currently received by the Town.
2) Grinder Transport. The Town must have a way to haul the machine over the
road in response to emergency storm or other conditious. Bidders were asked to
provide for such a system, either with an appropriate sized trailer or self-
contained dolly system. Vermeer did not do so. The Town would need to acquire
a trailer at an additional cost of from $30,000 - $50,000.
3) Election System For No~a-Grindable Material. The specifications called for a
"break-away" system of screens to allow for the quick ejection of any non-
grindable items that may get into the machine. The failure to have such a system
ha~ already cost many thousandz of dollars in repair costs to the current grinder.
Vermeer does not offer such a system.
4) Rotor Wall Thiclme~. The specifications called for at least a 4" thick rotor wall
(the rotor holds the hammers that grind the material). Vermeer offers only a 1.75"
thick wall.
5) Rotor Directlan. The specifications require an upward-rotating rotor to reduce
wear on the infeed conveyer floor as well as the tendency for thrown debris.
Vermeer does not offer such a system.
6) Rotor Welgl~t. The specifications require a 7,000 lb rotor to handle the size
debris typically received at the compost fac'flity. Vermeer offers a 2,900 lb rotor.
7) Conveyor System. The specifications call for a drag-chain feed conveyor, which
is long-lasting and repairable by replacing !ink, if damaged. Vermeer offers a
belt instead, which is subject to cuts and slices and is expensive to replace.
8) Screen. The specifications called for a 3-part screen system to allow for multiple
product sizes on a single grind. V~meer offers only a single screen system,
meaning screens must be changed each time a different size woodehip product is
desired.
Vermeer has itemized an additional 14 less critical exceptions, some of which are
nonetheless still important in terms of operation and maintenance.
For these reasons, I recommend the selection of the CBI Freedom Hog at a net cost of
$342,064.

passes through the center of the drum, keeping
the rotor assembly in balance whenever a
hammer is replaced.
This system offers a center pin as
a secondary retention system. Time to
change out hammers is typically reduced by
up to 90 percent (compared to conventional
systems). Once installed at both ends of the
duplex hammer, the cutter blocks are the pdmary
retention system that holds the hammer in place.
You can replace any duplex hammer in minutes
without removing other hammers.

LYONS EQUIPMEN~XCEPTIONS TO SOUTHHOLD ORIZONTAL WOOD
GRINDER BID SPECIFICATIONS
1.4 Machine Height 11 '-3".
Transport height on new 52 ton Pitts Detachable Trailer being snpplied by Lyons Equipment would
be 13'-4". See separate sheet for trailer specifications.
3.1 Track system.
ZX 230 with 23" pads, wider pads offer less ground pressure which minimizes damage to pavement
and ground surfaces.
4.1 Oversized copper core radiator.
Peterson utilizes Aluminum fnlly welded core brand AKG radiator because we find the copper core
brazed radiators are not sufficient for this type of application due to core leakage issues. The copper
core radiators are brazed where as the aluminmn core is welded. Peterson considers the Aluminum
core to be a superior system to the copper core.
4.2 Ambient temperature rating.
At a power factor of 100% the ambient rating of the 4700 cooling system is 115 degrees fahrenheit.
4.2 Fan.
Peterson cooling system utilizes a 5 l" fixed pitch fan that is a hydraulic reversing system. The
hydraulic reversing fan is superior to the flex air fan due to the simplicity and reliability of the system.
The mechanical portions of the hydraulic reversing fal~ is a hydraulic motor direct coupled to the fan
shaft, the hydraulic motor is reversed momentarily to reverse the air flow. The flex air is a complex
system where the pitch of the fan changes, meaning each blade on the fan rotates to reverse the airflow.
Peterson has found the ilex air fan is not a reliable system. The Peterson fan monitors engine coolant
temperature and increases the fan speed on demand, it also reverses on a timer.
7.2 Pumps.
(2) Pumps total.
(1) Pump, 37 gpm: axial piston, variable displacement, load sense type for one track drive, in feed
chain drive, discharge conveyor, and compression roll ftoat.
(1) Pump, 34 gpm: axial piston, variable displacement, load sense type, for one track drive, radiator
fan drive, and compression roll drive.
The 2 pumps design utilizes less components (2 instead of 4 pumps), less hydraulic plumbing, and
offer ease of operation and trouble shootings.
7.3 Two 12 gpm pumps.
Peterson design does not need the additional 2 pumps, this offers less moving parts for maintenance.
7.4 Hydraulic Cooling Unit.
The hydraulic cooler is an integral part of engine radiator. This type of engine radiator and hydraulic
cooler combination allows less moving part: 1 fan vs. 2 fans, and less hydraulic plumbing.
8.2 Shaft Diameter.
Rotor shaft diameter is 4.9375 inches.
8.4 Rotor Weight
Shell rotor (standard) weight - 5,300 lbs
Pin rotor (optional) weight - 6,200 lbs
8.5 Rotor Wall Thickness.
Rotor wall thickness of 1.69 inches. Wall thickness is more then sufficient to withstand load. Impact
release system reduces load on rotor, to this our hammer will shear through the hammer body with out
damage to the drum.
8.10 Tips.
Tips - 2.5" wide by 4.75" high carbide impregnated, 4140 forged, two (2) 3/4" bolts. The narrow bit is
more productive and has better wear characteristics then a wider bit.
9.7 Screens.
Made of Wearloy 400 steel and the thickness is 3/4". Peterson finds the Wearloy to be a more suitable
material when considering forming, wear life, and operating cost. Hardness of both are the same,
contents of material diffen Wearloy is specifically designed for high abrasion applications and is the
most common material used for this type of application.
9.8 Screens must ride in channel.
Screens are held in place by grate supports, which also are designed to, breakaway when non-crushables
enter the grinding chamber. This system is superior to having a track or charmel for the outside edges
of the screens to slide into. The Peterson system is adjustable which allows for ease of screen changes
where channels tend to wear and collect dirt and wood.
10.4 Loading Height.
Yes Compliance, minimum or maximum is not mentioned in specifications.
Loading height of 4710 is 7'-4". This is an 8" lower loading height then specified. The lower loading
height enables the 4710 to be loaded by a variety of equipment more efficiently then can be done when
the loading height is highen
10.6 Feed Conveyor.
Drag Chain is 4 rows x WDH 110, 60" wide. The WDH 110 box chain is stronger, wider, and higher
than the chain specified. 4 chains are utilized - the wider 4 chains are more aggressive and a cleaner
system.
10.7 Compression Roller.
Gear box and drive motor are located above the compression roller for ease of access and to have the
space to mount the appropriately sized drive components. Majority of rebuild on an external drive
system can be done with out removing the compression roller. An internal drive system will likely
require a major disassembly even to fix something as simple as a hose connection.
10.9 Feed System.
Feed system has four (4) operation modes where the operational variables could be set and saved. This
allows the machine to be fine tuned to different applications. Auto set feed system typically just adjust
infeed speeds, where as in each of the four (4) operational modes there are multiple settings allowing
the operator to fine tune the total machine performance.
11.4 Overhead Magnet Frame Work
No framework for optional cross-belt magnetic.
