Drum chipper production pictures

[GlobalNewark]

I have posted a few pics on here as I know some of you like to see this sort of thing. This is the drum chipper, some wheeled & some tracked. All drum assemblies are hand made, rolled & welded as is the equipment hence the five year warranty. Take note the thickness of the steel being used to fabricate the drum so you can appreciate why our chippers weigh so much but last so long. On the large 36" drum chippers it takes one week to produce one drum with one man. Currently building ten a day in the chipper department, enjoy.

 

The last picture is number 50,000.

Great pics, thanks for posting. Are the assembled machines stripped back down before paint?

Not 100% sure on the process, it is stripped to a level & all hydraulics etc are fitted afterwards. Most of it now is electrostatic spraying so the paint in effect goes round corners.

 

Heres some pics today of chipper number 50,000.
