Shaping felling head H480C

with delimber

The Waratah H480C harvesting head combines large timber cutting-power with an excellent delimbing quality throughout its diameter range. Optimized feed force & speed are a result of new feed motor options. 400/630 cc motors provide high performance in early to late thinnings. 500/800[780] cc motors are the preferred choice in late thinnings and regeneration fellings. The H480C gives an unprecedented excellent tree processing performance, especially in large timber. New feed roller arm geometry ensures that feed rollers have solid grip and reliably carry trunks in all diameter ranges. Operators also appreciate the continuous powerful four-wheel feed for efficient feeding with low friction. New manufacturing processes have led to even more durable frame structures. New tilt frame rubber stoppers protect structures and prolong the frame lifetime. New feed roller arms feature more durable bearings, strengthened cylinders & pins, and well-protected hose routings. Four moving delimbing knives, one fixed top knife and one fixed bottom knife follow the contours of the stem. Knife geometry and long cutting edges of the H480C ensure an excellent delimbing quality for all stem diameters. The proven EVO2 valve provides efficient hydraulic oil flow and head control, and leads to fuel efficiency of the base machine. The Super-Cut 100 saw unit has a maximum felling diameter of 710 mm, and can be factory equipped with either Parker or Bucher saw motor options. The saw units’ automatic chain tensioning prolong saw bar & chain lifetime, and the integrated chain lubrication ensures economical oil consumption.
