SKORPION 250 SDT is a perfect choice for people involved in community service activities, for road companies and for forest sector. Because of its high processing capacity (the maximum diameter of the cut branches is 25 cm), it is excellent for chipping tree trunks and large branches; the throat of the model is 420 mm wide and 255 mm high.
The drive system of this chipper is optionally a four-cylinder, turbocharged Yanmar diesel engine (84 hp) or Lombardini (64 hp); it is liquid-cooled and as a standard fitted with a mask. In order to maintain many hours of continuous operation, the chipper is equipped with a 60 liter fuel tank.
The cutting system in Skorpion 250 SDT is made by a disc equipped with two or three cutting blades, working with two counter knives. The cutting knives life has been optimized by their double-sided sharpening, which allows them to be rotated by 180°, resulting in twice the length of their use. All the knives are made of appropriately selected tool steel and subjected to professional heat treatment. In addition, the chipper disc also fulfills the task of a fan and ejects the produced chips through the ejection tube, which can be positioned in any direction at a full 360° radius.
Safety of the operator of a chipper is ensured by a cable safety switch attached, which - by pulling the cord in any direction - causes the hydraulic feed system to stop immediately. Unlocking the system takes place by releasing / unlocking the EMERGENCY STOP button to the work position.
