Continental Biomass Industries ( CBI ) has released new options for the Magnum Force 754 Disc Chipper , which was already designed to top load and pack trailers . Powered by a CAT C27 1050 HP engine , the 754 Disc Chipper “ devours ” lumber stacks even when being fed by two operators at the same time , according to the manufacturer .
Capable of producing up to 150 t / h , the 75 in diameter , four-knife babbitted or key knife chipper disc is able to produce wood chips from 3 / 8 in to 1 in depending on the desired end product . Complete with a 26 in feed opening designed to accept larger diameter trees , this disc chipper will pack the whole forest into your trailer .
Over the years , customers from Australia to South Carolina have used the 754 for diverse forestry applications . CBI developed an array of new chute options to meet unique needs around the world . Owners can now choose between the standard top loading chute , a designated end loading chute purpose-built to pack trailers , a designated vertical top loading
The 754 combines capacity and mobility
chute that can rotate 250 °, and a top loading / broadcast option that allows operators to spray and stockpile chips .
Standing on D7 Berco tracks with superior ground clearance and equipped with a new vertical chute option that has a 250 ° range of rotation , the chipper can be positioned for trucks even on the narrowest of landings . The adjustable end deflector ensures the unit blasts wood chips with the velocity and precision demanded by modern contractors .
“ We had a customer tell us they never thought they would see a disc chipper fill a van in the woods in less than 10 minutes ,” said Aaron Murray , R & D engineer at CBI . “ The 754 did it in six and a half minutes .”
Increased loading speed Contractors who work with inconsistent log diameters or lengths know the frustration of aligning loads . The 754 ’ s new optional feed deck extension bolts on to the back of the infeed and allows operators to align longer logs of various sizes more efficiently without guiding them down . Driven by a powered idler roll , the extension aligns and powers logs to the throat of the chipper box while the driver is already focusing on the next grab , making for a seamless operation .
Providing a continuous positive feed , the top feed roll is equipped with a high-torque Poclain internal drive and the bottom feed roll is equipped with a high-torque Brevini planetary drive , both
