The WDE1690C combines a controlled horizontal infeed system with WeiDong’s 1690-series grinding platform. Its crawler configuration is designed for uneven job sites and frequent on-site repositioning. The listed 360 kW Electric power configuration supports the main grinding system, while hydraulic auxiliary systems control functions such as feeding and discharge. The 1620 x 640 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 WDE1690C

Choose WDE1690C when electric production and crawler access are both required. The site must support the incoming power and cable-management system needed for safe repositioning.

  • Powered yards with uneven operating surfaces
  • Large feed dimensions requiring controlled horizontal infeed
  • Short-distance repositioning inside a defined electrical area
  • Long wood and large branches
  • Forestry residue
  • Sawmill and pallet waste after contamination review
  • Prepared biomass feedstock

Materials to confirm before ordering

  • Large irregular stumps better suited to tub feeding
  • Construction wood containing metal
  • Material with heavy soil or stone contamination

When another configuration fits better

  • The machine must work beyond a practical cable area
  • Prepared surfaces make the wheeled configuration simpler
  • No reliable industrial power is available

Options confirmed for each project

  • Rotor and screen selected for the feedstock
  • Feed conveyor and discharge arrangement
  • Magnetic separation where metal contamination is expected
  • Remote control and project-specific safety equipment
  • Engine, motor and electrical brands subject to configuration

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

Information needed for a quotation

  1. Material description, photos or a working video
  2. Maximum feed dimensions and typical piece size
  3. Moisture level and known contamination
  4. Required hourly throughput
  5. Target output size and downstream use
  6. Ground conditions and required mobility
  7. Available electrical supply for electric configurations
  8. Destination country and transport requirements

Performance note: Capacity and final particle size vary with feedstock type, moisture, contamination, rotor, screen and feeding conditions. Confirm the final configuration through material testing and the project specification.

Features and benefits

  • Electric Drive

    Best suited to facilities with a stable industrial power supply and planned electrical infrastructure.

  • Crawler

    Self-propelled crawler mobility for uneven ground and frequent repositioning within the job site.

  • Controlled Horizontal Infeed

    The infeed system presents material to the grinding chamber in a controlled flow.

  • Drive System

    Electric Main Drive + Hydraulic Auxiliary Systems. Final component scope is confirmed in the project specification.

Applications

Frequently asked questions

How is cable safety handled on WDE1690C?

Cable routing, movement limits, isolation and protection are engineered around the site layout and operating procedure.

When is WDE1690C preferable to WD1690C?

Choose WDE1690C where industrial power is reliable and reducing diesel operation is more important than unrestricted field mobility.

Is the rated capacity guaranteed for every material?

A single capacity value is not stated until the material and final configuration are confirmed. Actual throughput depends on feedstock, moisture, contamination, rotor, screen and feeding conditions.

What information is required before configuring this machine?

Provide material photos or video, maximum feed size, moisture and contamination, required throughput, target output, site conditions, mobility needs and the destination electrical supply where applicable.
