2019 Peterson Drum Chippers 4310B
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.
Other key features include a hydraulic clutch, sloped feed deck for ease of feeding the chipper, and wear resistant AR 450 wear surfaces on the drum pockets and shell. Optional material sizing grates further reduce oversize twigs and branches in the chips, and an optional chip accelerator helps with loading.
The 4310B Drum Chipper comes equipped with a wireless remote transmitter, putting control in the palm of your hand.
The end load spout is standard, and an optional top loading spout is available.
