The CBI 5900T is a used horizontal grinder — sometimes referred to as a wood grinder or tub-style alternative in the grinding industry — built for processing wood waste, land-clearing debris, green waste, and similar bulk organic materials. CBI, or Continental Biomass Industries, is a well-regarded American manufacturer of heavy-duty size-reduction and wood-processing equipment, serving industries including forestry, land clearing, biomass energy, and waste management.
This 2025 machine represents the first generation of the 5900T model, a design that draws from CBI's established 6800 and 5800 platforms to combine their respective strengths. A defining feature is the 60-inch wide infeed rotor, which significantly broadens material flow compared to narrower configurations and reduces the need to pre-process oversized material before feeding — a practical efficiency gain in high-volume operations.
Despite its capacity, the machine is engineered for straightforward transport. It carries a legal road transport width of 8 feet 6 inches and incorporates a redesigned dolly system that improves mobility and handling during moves between job sites. Power comes from a 755-horsepower engine mated to a hydraulic clutch, which delivers smooth engagement and allows the operator precise control over power transfer — an important characteristic when processing variable or unpredictable material loads.
Maintenance accessibility has been addressed in the design through quick-release air filter removal and improved access points to the engine compartment, reducing downtime during servicing. The discharge system has been updated to include multiple wear plates and a material-ejecting pulley, both of which extend the durability of wear components and help maintain consistent material ejection performance under demanding operating conditions.
