Chippo 5000 direct: Chipper with direct drive

Komptech presents the new CHIPPO 5000 at Forst Live 2009 in Offenburg

Power is delivered directly to the chipper from the lorry via a special transmission system. Feeder with horizontal and vertical rollers as well as optional material discharge via conveyor belt guarantee perfect product quality

Frohnleiten. Komptech, the Austrian-German specialist in the treatment of solid waste and biomass, will be showcasing its new general-purpose “Chippo 5000 direct“ shredder at the “Forst Live 2009“ forestry exhibition being held from 3rd to 5th April 2009 in Offenburg. The new model is a mounted variant driven directly from the lorry. A TGS chassis from MAN delivers a drive power of 484HP/320kW. The full engine power is available to the mounted shredding unit via a special transmission system developed especially for this purpose.

The feed system with horizontal and vertical rollers guarantees uniform feed. Even loose shrubbery is seized reliably and fed to the chipper rotor pre-compressed. Lightweight material is hacked with high drum speed. Together with the immediate-action, load-dependent feed controller, considerably higher throughputs can be attained compared to chippers of similar design.

For the hacking of wood trunks, a lower speed gearing with more torque is selected at the press of a button and discharge is selected via an optional conveyor belt (available from end of May 2009). This discharge variant guarantees homogenous, pelletised wood chippings and at the same time requires less power to discharge. The bottom line is perfect wood chip quality at the lowest price.

The operator of the Chippo sits in the comfortable lorry cab on the converted passenger seat. The large window panes provide the operator a perfect view, enabling full concentration on working with the powerful Epsilon crane.

The large rotor diameter of 1050mm makes possible an inlet opening of 750 x 1000mm. If this is not adequate, the fold-out wood splitter mounted on the lorry is called into play.

With all of these features, the “Chippo 5000 direct“ is a compact general-purpose talent that is hard to beat in terms of mobility, working comfort and cost-effectiveness.
