Description
|
The 6300B Drum Chipper is suited for high volume biomass producers who have a wide variety of feed material, from logs up to 36″ (91 cm) in diameter, to brush and small feed stock.
The 6300B Drum Chipper is powered by a 1050 HP (772 kW) C27 Caterpillar engine, and has an optional Tier IV engine available. A PT Tech wet clutch has also been added to the machine. At 85,000 pounds (38,555 kg), the 6300B was designed for operations requiring high production and frequent moves between jobs.
The 6300B Drum Chipper has two drum configurations, a 8-pocket drum to make standard biomass chips, or a 16-pocket drum to make microchips. An optional grate system has been redesigned to allow for adjustment from a microchip to a 1¼” chip with the same grates. Traditional Babbitt type knife systems are standard equipment, or an optional key knife system is available. Peterson’s chip accelerator system, adds load density, or throws chips well away from the machine for land clearing operations. |

Features
 Knife Assemblies at the Heart of the Chipper
Produced from the highest quality alloy chromium steel, heavy-duty Astec knife assemblies achieve uniform production of wood chips
with high accepts and minimal losses.

 Select from 8- or 16-Pocket Drum
Featuring durable AR400 wear surfaces, the 6300 series Drum Chippers comes standard with an 8-pocket drum
rotor with one Babbitted knife per pocket. A 16-pocket drum rotor is available for chipping microchips.

 Discharge Spout Options
Two discharge spouts are available on all Peterson Drum Chippers. An end-load spout designed to load closed-top chip vans. A top-load discharge spout is also available and designed to load open-top chip vans.

 Superior Product Sizing
Peterson’s drum chipper grate system provides ultra-consistent chip sizing; twigs and small stems which can be difficult to size are easily fractured through our innovative system. The chipper grate is located next to the chipper drum and ensures that materials passing through the grate meet a specific size requirement.
