Towed wood chipper PTH 1400/1200

diesel engine

videogallery Mobile drum chipper mounted on a semi-trailer, a trailer or a truck, with its own diesel motor with 1150 Hp, with a production capacity that exceeds 300 m3/h. The feeding mouth is provided with an upper and two lower rollers, further to a closed-meshes chain. The combined action of such devices pushes and conveys wood up to the drum action. The maximum inlet passage is 1400 x 800 mm. This means that big diameter logs can be processed directly, without splitting, as well as big bunches of branches. The feeding hopper can be supplied upon request with an hydraulically driven extension. The chipper is mounted on a 180° rotating platform, so that feeding can be done both from the left or the right side. The machine can be configured with two different chips evacuating systems: - A ventilator with rotating discharge pipe, suitable to work in the forest; - A conveyor belt to transport chips up to 5 m high, suitable to work on biomass sort yards. Approx. 30% of the motor power is thus saved and is completely available for the drum, in favor of production capacity. Furthermore, the chipped product is better quality, since chips remain whole and undamaged, not passing through the ventilator.
