This Universal Refiner PDR80 is a horizontal grinder — sometimes referred to as a tub grinder — designed to process wood waste, land-clearing debris, stumps, and other organic material into mulch, chips, or biomass fuel. Universal Refiner is a recognised name in heavy-duty grinding equipment, building machines for the wood waste, land clearing, and recycling industries.
This particular unit was comprehensively reconditioned from the ground up by a dealer in 2020, and at the time of listing carries just one hour on a rebuilt engine, which comes with a warranty from a local engine shop. The machine also includes approximately $15,000 worth of extra spare parts, making it a strong candidate for buyers looking to minimise downtime risk.
The grinder is equipped with a 100-inch by 160-inch hopper, providing a generous feed opening suited to large volumes of bulky material. A positive traction tub drive system keeps material feeding consistently into the grinding chamber, and an automatic two-speed tub drive system allows the operator to match feed rate to the material being processed. The discharge conveyor head pulley incorporates a magnetic separator, useful for removing ferrous metal contaminants from the finished product. The machine is also fitted with a Cleanfix automatic reversing fan, which helps maintain cooling efficiency by periodically clearing debris from the radiator — a practical feature in the dusty, high-debris environments where horizontal grinders typically operate.
This 1998 machine is offered in used condition and is located in Georgia, USA, priced at $189,000.
