WS & WC Wood Hogs (Hammermills)

As fuel prices climb, the American Hog makes even more fuel sense.  This equipment reduces wood scrap, chips, veneer, back and shavings to uniformly sized chips for blow fed boiler fuel.  They burn better because of better aeration, and product relatively greater BTU output with less smoke, whether fed by blower or manually.  Storage space is cut down, handling made easier, and fire hazard reduced.  The American Hog pays for itself in no time-often in less than a year, and the importance in fuel savings to you will steadily increase, not to mention savings in reduced labor for handling scrap.
