Top tractor chipper WT 10 XL with hinged wood splitter Quality and efficiency has always characterized the “Wood-Terminator” chipper. However, they are constantly working on even better technical solutions for hackers. They are one step further with the new, hydraulically driven blower. O ne thing is clear to them: they can only impress real professionals with perfect technology. A hydraulic blower was attached to this WT 10 XL so that the speed can be adjusted infinitely (slowly for trunk wood and faster for shrubs and wood process waste). This ensures the quality of the wood chips is retained. As this machine has an “XL” in the type designation, is for a good reason: a larger roller diameter, a more aggressive, powerful feed (98 x 75 cm),split screens, which are foolproof to exchange a stronger feed belt, a life of up to 5000 hours and a new multi-function rotor (the use of broader blades or choppers is possible). The feed belt of the tractor chopper WT 10 XL is 2.7 m long. Therefore, 4m logs remain on the belt while being loaded on the crane, and do not fall from the feed table to the ground. The machine is controlled using the operating box with an easy color display. The remote control has a faster, load-dependent belt control. The faster switching function means cleaner, separated and rather more angular wood chips. Since the hacker control works fully automatically, the crane driver can fully concentrate on the feeding process, this will mean higher throughput of wood chips is achieved (up to 200 Srm/h Our customer Schanner works with a Claas Xerion tractor with 530 HP. Additionally,a wood splitter was attached to a hacker. With this professional chipper equipment, no pieces remain on the chipping site. www.mus-max.at 40 International Forest Industries | DECEMBER 2017 / JANUARY 2018
