1380 Crawler Horizontal Grinder WD1380C

The WD1380C combines a controlled horizontal infeed system with WeiDong’s 1380-series grinding platform. Its crawler configuration is designed for uneven job sites and frequent on-site repositioning. The listed 368 kW / 500HP power configuration supports the main grinding system, while hydraulic auxiliary systems control functions such as feeding and discharge. The 1320 x 530 mm inlet is designed for long wood, branches, forestry residue, and prepared biomass feedstock. Actual throughput and finished particle size depend on feed material, moisture, contamination, rotor selection, screen configuration, and feeding conditions. Final transport, electrical, emissions, and public-road requirements are confirmed for each order and destination market.

Why choose the WD1380C

Choose WD1380C when the compact 1380 platform is sufficient but a wheeled chassis cannot reliably access the working ground. Diesel power supports field operation without a permanent electrical supply.

Recommended applications

• Medium-scale forestry work on uneven ground
• Frequent repositioning inside a job site
• Controlled feeding of branches and elongated wood

Recommended feed materials

• Branches and elongated wood
• Sawmill offcuts
• Forestry residue
• Prepared biomass feedstock

Materials to confirm before ordering

• Large irregular root balls
• Construction wood containing metal
• Material with heavy soil or stone contamination

When another configuration fits better

• Feed dimensions require the larger 1690 platform
• Road transfer between prepared sites is the main requirement
• Bulky root balls are the dominant feed material

Options confirmed for each project

• Rotor and screen selected for the feedstock
• Feed conveyor and discharge arrangement
• Magnetic separation where metal contamination is expected
• Project-specific engine and control options

What changes actual capacity

• Feed material type, density and hardness
• Maximum piece size and feeding consistency
• Moisture content
• Soil, metal, stone and other contamination
• Rotor, cutter or hammer configuration
• Screen opening and required output size
• Operator practice and downstream material handling
