Typical chips generated from debarked and deleafed wood

Drum Style Chipper with steel fan in its own compartment to assist with discharge when light material like leaves and grass are fed through chipper.
  • Beever 20, 18, 15 with off center mounted Chip pocket with double sided blade in chipper drum.
  • In Drum Style chipping profile chipping blade works directly (Parallel) onto wood being cut, thus there is NO sideways slap of wood being chipped, and also the wear on the blades is kept to a minimum.
  • Drum style chipper blades last up to 10 times longer than disc style chipper blades.-- (Imagine cutting a pencil with a scissors, the wood is forced down the blade until you stop the pencil. Same principal on a disc style chipper. This rasping really wears the trimness of the blade.)
  • All models have fan mounted into special fan compartment to assist with throw, especially when light material such as leaves etc are fed through.
  • Note Heavy duty block bearing used on either side which carries the chipper drum axle
  • .
  • Note Twin Disc Manual clutch in housing which is manually engaged by the operator when starting to chip brush and wood.
  • All models have fan mounted into special fan compartment to assist with throw, especially when light material such as leaves etc are fed through.
  • Note built in lock arrangement for ease of changing reversible blades.

Chipping:- 1. Railway Sleeper 2. Bush 3.Garden Prunings.

Illustration: Principal of how the chipper blade mounted into the drum, works (Parallel) straight onto the wood being chipped. (Not like a disc style chipper where the blade works at a angle. Imagine cutting a pencil with a scissors--- The pencil is pushed down the blade until the pencil is stopped. The same effect on a disc style chipper. This is the main reason why DRUM style chipper blades last up to 10 times longer.--Thus 10x more good quality chips!!)
