Overview
The track mounted 4310B Drum Chipper is suited for high volume biomass producers who have a wide variety of feed material from brush and small feed stock to logs up to 24 inches (61 cm) in diameter.
The 4310B is powered by a 755 horsepower (563 kW) C18 Tier IV Caterpillar engine. At 58,500 pounds (26 535 kg), the track mounted 4310B Drum Chipper is designed for operations requiring high production and frequent moves between jobs.
The chipper utilizes a 36 inch diameter by 44¾ inch (91 by 114 cm) wide drum with either 6 or 12 knife pockets. Traditional Babbitt type knife systems are standard equipment. Chip length can be set from 1⁄8 to 1¼ inch (3 to 32 mm) depending on rotor and knife configuration.
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 woodchips with high accepts and minimal losses.
Superior Product Sizing
Peterson 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.
Select From 6- or 12-Pocket Drum
Featuring durable AR400 wear surfaces, the 4300 series Drum Chippers comes standard with an 6-pocket drum rotor with one Babbitted knife per pocket. A 12-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.
