Power
Requirements
Due to the
inertia of the heavy and large rotor, power units down to 35
HP can be used. About 7 HP is required for every inch of
round wood diameter. Thus, to chip a 5-inch round wood,
you need a 35 HP power unit (7 X 5 = 35).
Safety Features
The Valby
chippers do not have any knife motion toward the
operator-this reduces the risk of loose material flying back
through the feed chute.
The
knives are counter-sunk into the disk, so the stress of
chipping is absorbed by the entire backside of the knife,
not just the knife bolts.
The
discharge height is 7'11" above ground so the discharge is
above eye level. To accomplish safe operation in various
wind directions, the Valby chipper's discharge direction is
adjustable 360 degrees.
The
deflector bonnet enables placing the chips near or far.
The Valby chippers also have several noise-reducing
features. The discharge opening is above ear level. It is
adjustable and can be directed away from the operator. |
