Larger disc chippers

[garth mc garth]

the 5010 is a chipper and all other komptechs are shredders as far as im aware, all i know is that i throw stuff in 1 end with a 25 ton 360 and grab and it fills the bucket of the 996 cat shovel in a matter of minutes

This looks a good chipper..... and expensive too!

 

 

yup. Carlsberg dont make chippers, but if they did...

That thing is probably the best chipper on the planet. CBI took a 6400 grinder with 1200hp and put a 6 tonne solid chipper rotor into it. absolutely mental. you dont get the perspective of how big that machine really is with that vid though.

Haha, Vermeer or Jensen? That is two ends of a scale. There is little to choose between all the US manufacturers. Bandit and Vermeer are biased more towards Tree services, Morbark and Dynamic are slightly more forestry biased.

Jensen are puny little things that have an infuriating infeed that drove me up the wall whenever I fed ours.

 

Admittedly not for fuel or biomass, but have experience feeding a big big PTO Jensen.... we were feeding whole trees through it on night-shift rail work, sometimes taking 5 men to lift the tree and feed the chipper and I must say I was more than impressed with it..... the power was immense.

 

Vermeer seem to show good chippers for tree work... most of them are tow-behind or drag chippers though which wouldn't be of much use to me.

Seriously, it might have been a 141 jensen, but it aint in the same league as the yank stuff.

sorry Garth, it would seem Komptech have started building chippers:001_unsure:

Just reading the stats on the CBI website.....

 

I think i've just wet myself.... excuse me..

Never used any of the yankie chippers...

 

Have used three different Jensens and I just think they're great..... but like you say, different league

no worries mate, the chipper rarely gets used in relation to the fleet of shredders due to the type of material that gets brought in for processing, all of which goes to the continent for their powerstations.

Ed - do you know anything about the Pezzolato chippers, or the Arboreater PTH 900??

[Mr Ed]

Garth -

I think I just fell in love -

This whole package is amazing, so well engineered and thought out. Particularly like the pop out splitter near the end...

Matt - yes, I've seen the bg Pezzolato's working, they have a HUGE 1000hp model on an 8 wheeler on the Austrian / Italian border
