Astec - Peterson 5000H Whole Tree Chipper

The Peterson 5000H Whole Tree Chipper produces high quality low bark content chips for wood pulp and pellets, processing whole trees in one continuous operation.

Equipped with a large feed throat, the 5000H Whole Tree Chipper can accept up to a 23 inch (56 cm) diameter single tree or multiple smaller stems.

The 5000H Whole Tree Chipper can be configured with a three or four pocket disc, with several optional sheave sizes to make precisely the chip you need. The standard three-pocket disc produces chips from 5⁄8 to 1 1/4 inches (16–32 mm) long, while the optional four-pocket disc produces chips from ½ to 1 inches (13–25 mm) long. Chipping production rates up to 100 tons (90 tonnes) per hour can be achieved depending on chip size and wood characteristics.
