Wood chipper PL-160, Kirovohrad region.

PL-160 wood chipper is a disc-type wood chipper.

The unit is designed for shredding wood waste and woodworking, and is able to turn branches, tree crowns, logging waste, rails and sawdust into chips. At the output, we get a fraction from 5 to 35 mm, the size of which can be adjusted by adjusting the knives of the cutting disc. The finished processing material is ideally suited as fuel for boilers with a screw feed, and from the technological chips obtained after additional processing, briquettes and fuel pellets are produced.

The PL-160 wood chipper consists of a body, a cutting device, a disk, a hydraulic system - a wood supply mechanism and a sleeve for chip ejection.

The unit is attached to the rear three-point linkage of the tractor. The chipper for thetractor is ideal suitable for those who need large volumes of processing.

The wood chipper can be used by forestry companies, communal services, farms, village councils, city councils, etc.

Woodworking waste is fed into the loading hopper, where the toothed rollers are located. As they rotate, they pull the wood into the working area with the cuttingdisc. There are 3 knives on the disk, which are made of HARDOX 500 steel, and its thickness is 4 cm. The rollers are driven by two hydraulic motors. The drive of the cutting disk is driven from the tractor's power take-off shaft, the rotation frequency of which is up to 1000 rpm, through a cardan transmission. At the entrance, the diameter of the wood should not exceed 160 mm. The size of the chip fraction at the exit is from 5 to 35 mm, depending on the setting of the knives of the cutting disk, which is easy to carry out by opening the top cover.

The power of the chipper allows you to get up to 9 cubic meters of chips per hour. If you are planning to buy a productive chipper for a tractor, pay attention to this model.

When rotating, the cutting disc grinds the wood into chips, which are thrown out by the air flow through the sleeve. The sleeve rotates 360 degrees, which allows you to adjust the direction of the chip ejection, and with the help of the bumper, the ejection range is adjusted. The maximum emission range is up to 4 meters, which allows you to crush wood directly into the trailer.
