Komatsu S162E is a productive harvester head specially developed for fast and efficient felling in Eucalyptus stands. It has a robust design based on well-known components, which gives the head an appreciated combination of reliability, productivity and profitability.
Knives optimised for Eucalyptus
S162E has four hydraulically movable delimbing knives and a fixed top knife. There is also a fixed delimbing knife in the rear part of the head that is optimised for eucalyptus trees with a diameter of between 20-26 cm. The delimbing knives have a compound curve shape, that follows the tree's natural shape and increases the quality of the debarking.
Diameter measuring
Diameter measuring is included as standard with a sensor located in the feed roller arm pivot.
Angled feed roller arms
The head has angled feed roller arms to optimise the debarking process. The frame also has a support roller in the belly to minimise friction.
ORFS couplings for the environment
To reduce the environmental impact caused by oil leakage, the head is equipped with ORFS couplings.
