Model 1680 Electric - Beast Recyclers / Horizontal Grinders
The Model 1680 Electric "Son Of A Beast' is an ideal economical alternative to diesel-powered units for small land
clearing operations, municipalities, recycling yards, and tree services looking for an efficient way to reduce and dispose
of brush, limbs, pallets, slab wood, bark, sawmill waste, logging slash, palm, construction waste, Christmas trees, and
other tree waste using the advantages of electric power. The Model 1680 Electric is also an excellent unit for
turning unwanted chips into a usable end product. Chips can easily be ground for a variety of applications for bioenergy industries. It features a 16" diameter capacity with its 18" x 52" mill opening and can be equipped with either a
200 or 250 horsepower WEG electric motor.
The electric version of the Model 1680 is equipped with the patented Bandit cuttermill, which has proven to be the
most efficient means of breaking down a wide variety of materials. With a Bandit cuttermill you have the option of
cutting, splitting, grinding and chipping with the opportunity to mix and match cutting devices to allow for the

production of uniform material with varying sizes. The cuttermill turns downward, which not only helps to pull material
into the mill but also allows it to be positioned for a decisive splitting action similar to an axe rather than a more
violent, intensive, and less effective hammering action found on other grinding platforms. The result is less vibration
and more structural integrity when compared to machines that carry more weight and horsepower.
The Model 1680 Electric features a 26-tooth setup on its cuttermill, allowing it to process a wide range of materials
with ease with its 36" diameter cut radius. Different combinations and styles of cutterbodies and teeth can be configured
to control the amount of bite, assist in forwarding material through the screening system, and dial in the preferred size
and consistency of the end product. A chipper knife set-up can also be equipped on the electric Model 1680, allowing it
to produce a dimensional, screened chip that can be used for fuel and other applications demanding a consistent,
high-quality, precisely-sized chip.
The WEG electric motors on the Model 1680 Electric are equipped with a 50 horsepower electric pump drive motor
and panel,a soft start panel for the main motor, a design "A" torque for maximum performance, a water and dust
tight enclosed fan, class "F" insulation for all frames, and an F1 mount. They are three phase (60 Hertz) with 208230/460 or 460 volt options. Feel free to consult with Bandit if you need different electrical requirements as we
have worked with many customers to custom fit their operations.
A single-speed 10' long x 52" wide rubber belt infeed conveyor serves material to the cuttermill at 20 feet per minute
on the electric Model 1680, where it is met by 20" diameter x 52" wide internally driven floating top feed wheel which
can guide brushy material into the cuttermill chamber. The cutting action is performed against a replaceble anvil that
is full-width adjustable. Component weight is distributed and supported on a sturdy frame constructed from 1/4"
thick steel with 20" deep formed high tensile steel plating and cross-section bracing using continuous welds for
structural integrity as opposed to bolt-together techniques. Thus, in combination with two 12,000 pound axles, the
Model 1680 Electric can provide the necessary physical reinforcement to hold up for many years of service.
A 15-foot long x 48" wide single-speed stationary discharge conveyor provides a total discharge stacking height of 9
feet. A folding discharge conveyor measuring at 30-foot long, however, it can be ordered as an option for those who
want a higher discharge height to load top open trucks and trailers.
Customize your electric Model 1680 to the fullest with many productivity enhancing options. While a tether
remote control comes standard, a radio remote is also available permitting an operator to control the unit from an
auxiliary loader feeding the grinder. An upgrade to a steel infeed conveyor is also a popular option as well as a
magnetic head pulley for retrieving nails from the flow of ground material on the discharge. For sizing material,
select from a variety of screens ranging from 3/4" to 6" in diameter. Other add-ons worth considering are a folding
infeed pan and an air compressor. A full palette of standard and custom paint colors give you the freedom to choose
the look to fit your brand or company.
The electric Model 1680, as with all Bandit Beast Recyclers, is designed and equipped with operator safety, userfriendly control, and simplified maintenance in mind. Components that are easily accessible save time on
routine maintenance schedules and reduce downtime by being more serviceable out in the field. Feel free to contact
a sales representative and ask about cost saving statistics and production numbers based on your individual situation
and needs. These factors, in combination with above-and-beyond factory support for your success, have proven over
time that choosing a Bandit Beast Recycler is the best economical decision you can make for a long-term investment in
a horizontal grinder.

Electric Beast Powers Profit at Antoine Hardwoods
Most people enter the professions of logging and sawmilling in one of two ways. Either they follow
in the long standing footsteps of the family business, or they find themselves knee deep in the
industry almost completely by surprise. Antoine Hardwoods founder Charles Ledbetter went from
a military stint in Vietnam to working on a dairy farm, followed by a job selling cars. At the time he
was also going to college on the GI Bill while supporting a wife and two sons, and if you're
wondering how a Vietnam veteran-turned dairy farmer/car salesman made the transition to running
a sawmill, well, that's the surprise.
