Overview

The 4300B drum chipper is suited for high volume biomass producers who have a wide variety of feed material. The 4300B drum chipper can easily handle material from logs up to 26 inches (61 cm) in diameter, to brush and small feedstock. The chipper utilizes a 36 inch diameter by 40 inch wide (91 by 102 cm) drum with wear resistant AR450 wear surfaces on the drum pockets and shell. A sloped feed deck makes feeding the chipper easier. The optional material sizing bars and chip accelerator minimize oversize twigs and branches in the chips, and help ensure tight chip packing and fully loaded chip vans.
