Indoor grinding fits the bill

Article Abstract:

Cape Resources Co's construction of an indoor grinder eliminated noise complaints from its neighbors in Barnstable, MA, as well as protected the machine from dust and the weather. The company installed a CBI grinder inside a 2,000-square-foot facility in 1997, which enabled the processing of wood as it is delivered on the site. Cape Resources also claims that the indoor grinder, which is capable of grounding 50-60 tons of wood in an hour, is maintenance free.
