Model 40/36 Biomass Chipper

The Model 40/36 whole tree drum chipper is equipped with the same internal drive found on the company's horizontal grinders, along with an extra-wide feed opening, enabling it to aggressively feed brushy tops and limbs. Its 36-in.-diameter by 40-in.-wide drum holds eight knives in a staggered configuration. The IQAN system monitors engine parameters, as well as hydraulic pressures and temperatures, and allows for utilization of remote diagnostics. Power options are available up to a 700-hp Caterpillar or John Deere engine. At 8 ft. 6 in. wide, the compact unit is easily transportable and requires no permits to move. Other features include a wireless remote control and four hydraulic stabilizers.
