Drum ChipperCompact yet enormously productive, the ChipMax 484 is an extreme-duty biomass production workhorse. Its main components such as the rotor, chipper box and feed system are significantly stronger than any other chipper in its class, providing owners with years of trouble free service. Featuring two rotor options, the ChipMax can make high-quality fuel chips custom sized from 12–25 mm or “micro-chips” from 2–12 mm from logs up to 24" in diameter. These “micro-chips” produce a consistent fibre length that dramatically reduces the overall cost of producing pellets as well as improves the function of small boilers.The 12' x 48" feed conveyor is designed with troughed sides, impact plate in the bottom, 17" diameter head and tail pulley and is driven by an extreme high-torque Poclain hydraulic motor (an optional 6' conveyor is available.) Owners have a choice between an apronstyle conveyor (prevents material spillage) or four-strand heavy-duty chain (allows rocks and dirt to be screened prior to chipping.) The 30" upper feed roller with a built-in high-torque Poclain hydraulic motor lifts for full and easy access to the heavy-duty rotor and anvil. The 48" wide x 40" diameter 2-knife or 4-knife drum rotor is engineered with a 6" flame cut pocket design, making it significantly stronger and more durable than anything in the industry. The hydraulically adjustable chip discharge chute facilitates top or end loading of chip trailers. It also features a hydraulic driven blower for stronger chip discharge that automatically increases power when needed (without any wear or excess power consumption) and a chip deflector that is hydraulically actuated into position when top loading. The discharge chute can be ordered either in a flex configuration (adjusts to distribute chips in the trailer, which minimizes truck relocation during loading) or in a straight configuration. The ChipMax is powered by a Cat C-18, 765 hp diesel engine. To further its unique design, it is equipped with an extra-large AKG radiator, Flexxaire auto-reversing fan, PT Tech PTO, IntelliGrind control system by Parker IQAN™ for increased monitoring and protection, and radio remote control with full mechanical backup to run all vital functions of the machine. Adding to its versatility, the ChipMax is available as a portable [pintle hook or 5th wheel mounting hitch], track, or truck-mounted unit and is road legal in both width and weight (for frequent moves between jobs.) At CBI, we build machines based on total ownership cost rather than compromising quality.
