Many groups are seeing
the cost benefits of in-field
chipping, and are looking for
even more capacity, and we
have designed more mobile
machines to meet that demand
Michael Spreadbury, Peterson Corp
Peterson’s secondary grate system provides
ultra-consistent chip sizing; twigs and small
stems which can be difficult to size are easily
fractured through an innovative system.
The Peterson 6910 disc chipper –
mobility and high capacity in one
package
The Peterson 6910 disc chipper packs an
86 in (218 cm) 5-pocket chipper disc in mobile
package that is ideal for many in-field chipping
operations. The 6910 produces high quality
paper chips when used with a Peterson 6800
debarker, or fuel chips as a stand-alone fuel
wood chipper.
The 6910 is powered by a Caterpillar C27, Tier
III, 1050hp (772 kW), or a n optional C32, 1125hp
(839 kW) engine. The 6910 has a five pocket
disc, with several optional sheave sizes to make
precisely the chip needed. The chipper disc is
directly driven from a high-capacity PT-Tech
hydraulic clutch and belts.
Chipping production rates up to 200 US t/h
(181,437 kg/h) can be achieved depending on
chip size. The 6910’s large feed throat can accept
up to 27 in (69 cm) diameter trees or multiple
smaller stems. The 6910’s parallel wall feed
throat stabilises logs. Direct drive feed rolls
mean no chain and sprocket wear, nor is there
ever need for adjustments.
“Peterson knows that controlling the stems
is critical for a high quality chip, and have
minimised the distance from the feed roll to the
disc for maximum control of the stems,” the
supplier stated. “A primary and secondary anvil
provides easily serviceable cutting surfaces for
the highest quality chip.”
The chipper housing features a quick release
hood clamp, bolt in disc wear liners, and an
oversized hood, which easily opens out of the
way for superior disc access for knife changes.
Servicing the 6910 is accessible from the
convenient platforms around the engine and
chipper.
The 6910’s track system allows for easy
machine alignment and site clean out, and the
optional tow hitch allows operators to tow the
Peterson 6800 Chain Flail Debarker to the job
site for the ultimate in-field chip plant.
The 6910’s large feed throat can accept up to 27 in (69 cm) diameter trees or multiple smaller stems
