Towed wood chipper PTH 1400/820

diesel engine

A self-propelled chipper with specific functioning devices which are a real novelty on the Italian and European market. Such a compact design for an industrial vehicle: an easier use also in areas with infrastructural limits, as the narrow roadways and the reduced operation areas. This new model is the ideal one to operate in the plantations and is able to satisfy all the necessities of a fragmented and diversified property, i.e. orchards, poplar forests, and copses. The drive is four-wheel and three different steering modes are possible: both axles separately, together or only frontal axle. The low position of the feeding inlet accelerates the work either in case of little heaps of material, such as the ones available in poplar forests/orchards and of great piles of the wooden material, such us those collected on the road sides. In order to facilitate the introduction of bulky material (branches …), the lower feed roller has been changed with a longer feeding chain, able to transfer the material directly to the drum. The drum has been designed to produce great quality chips, thus meeting the growing demand of the more up-to-dated stations, especially for the gasification units. The drum has a diameter of 820 mm and a width of 1400 for a weight of 3500 kg; section-divided in order to better distribute the machine stress on the different components, reduce vibrations, noise and consumption (less 30% if compared with machines of similar potentiality).
