New From Tigercat: 6500 Chipper
Tigercat has officially launched 6500 chipper after more than a year of successful field operations involving multiple retail units.
The 6500 is a heavy-duty down-swing drum chipper designed for high production and maximum flexibility. Rotor speeds are adjustable based on infeed material density and desired chip length—ranging from 0.5-2 in. (12-50 mm)—to maximize throughput and product quality.
With a frame that pivots on the undercarriage, the operator is able to adjust the infeed angle for varying feedstock or raise and lower the discharge height to adjust the chip pile size or accommodate top load trailers. The pivoting upper frame also allows for transport on a 18 in. (46 cm) lowboy trailer without the need to fold the discharge conveyor to maintain transport height under 13 ft. 6 in. (4,11 m).
Maintenance is made easy with convenient service access. The split hog box opens over centre to fully access the rotor and screens for simple knife changes. The grate frame is hydraulically retractable for inspection, service or impact detection. The single discharge conveyor is open on the bottom for clean operation and easy servicing. A tool storage area mounted on the side of the machine hydraulically raises and lowers for added convenience.
An optional large diameter magnetic head pulley is available to effectively remove metal from the end product. The machine is also prepared to accept over-band magnet systems.
