Mobile chipping machine

Designed for the processing of forest wood residue, the tractor-pulled CHIPPO 500 is the first in a new generation of mobile chipping machines from Komptech and the very first one designed for drive power up to 500 hp (370 kW). A load-dependent controller regulates feed proportional to the drum speed and minimizes stop and start phases. Shrubbery as well as branch and tree-top material is pulled in continuously, without a noticeable drop in rotation speed. The high rotation speed of the drum (560 rpm) ensures high throughput, with possible fill volumes of 120 cubic metres per hour. These machines also handle wood trunks, and with the press of a button, switch to conveyor belt discharge. At the same time, the drum rotation speed can be set to 400 rpm.
