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
