1. HIGH PRODUCTION PROCESSOR
Our processor module bundles the infeed and cutoff operation
into one. This reduces the cut time of a log significantly and
greater production is realized.
2. 10 FOOT LIVE INFEED BED WITH 10’ EXTENSION
The extended infeed bed can easily handle logs up to 30 feet
long and 20” in diameter. With some care multiples of
small logs can be processed to increase the cordage output of
the system.
3. FIVE 5 FOOT LIVE LOG DECK ARMS
Our 2000 series has three arms on the main infeed and two on
the infeed extension. In addition an automatic log feed feature
can be added which assures that there is a log in the infeed
bed at all times.
4. 125 OR 250-HP DIESEL ENGINE WITH HYDRAULIC PUMPS
& SOLENOID VALVES
The operations available determine the size of the engine pack.
If the processor is going to include the lumber package and
hi-pressure firewood chain saw and splitter, then the 250-HP
engine pack is required.
5. 30 INCH SAW BAR CAPABLE OF CUTTING LOGS UPTO 20”
IN DIAMETER
New technology has greatly enhanced the speed of the cutting
cycle. Our 30” saw bar features a 404 chain that is easy
to remove and replace.
6. V-TROUGH BOX SPLITTER WITH 5 by 28” SPLITTER
PISTON
Splitters take the greatest abuse of entire system. To handle
this type of abuse, we build our splitters in an enclosed frame.
This transfers the splitting force away from the base of the
blade to the splitter frame.
7. 6 OR 8 WAY ADJUSTABLE SPLITTERS WITH INSERT KNIVES
There is no need to split and then re-split with our splitters.
Due to the design of our frame, large blocks can be easily processed
in one operation. Our splitter knives with the insert blades
were developed over 20 years ago. These blades have a hardened
leading edge that withstands most abuse, but when damage does
happen they can be taken out in minutes and easily replaced
8. 12 FOOT INCLINE CONVEYOR
No one wants to handle firewood twice. This adjustable height
conveyor will carry all the wood you give it and deliver it
to most standard trucks.
9. 48” DIAMETER SCRAG SAW ON A FLYING CARRIAGE
Why not make the most of the materials in the woods. Some logs
at a clean up sight can be profitably turned into cants. The
slabs from these into fire wood all on the same machine.
10. PELLETIZER OR CHIPPER
Because of the market for fuel why not turn the branches into
pellets. Our soon to be announced chipper will make pellets
and blow them into bulk bins or bag them for market.
Log loading boom
For those systems where the logs are brought to the landing
and piled, the addition of a loading boom eliminates the need
of secondary equipment. This is mounted directly adjacent to
the splitter, and has a reach of up to 14 feet if mounted to
the Forester 2000 frame.
Operator cab
The addition of the operator cab immediately over the splitter
makes it convenient and comfortable to operate the processor
in any type of weather.
Remote hand-held operators pendent
The remote-hand pendent gives the operator the freedom to operate
the system from a loader or simply from a convenient position.
Chipper
Branches, tree tops and brush can be turned into chip and later
sold for a variety of uses. We will soon be introducing a pelletizer
that can make fuel pellets from the scraps of the logging sight.
In addition, we will be introducing a lumber molding line that
can turn trash chip into profitable lumber and moldings that
look nice and can be fire retardant and even bug resistant.
Two by fours made from this have the strength of a natural softwood
counterpart. They also have the added advantage of being without
knots or splits. We feel that the improved appearance and durability
of these will quickly catch on in the lumber industry. The advantage
for you as the field contractor is you can compete with the
larger distributors by reducing the big company overhead and
longer shipping costs. You can directly market pellets directly
to the consumer market.
Field pelletizer and bagger
Another product line that will soon be introduced is a pelletizer
and bagger. By adding this to the accessories mounted on the
frame, you maximize your profit from both the processor and
logging sight.
Fire Wood Bundler
We will also be introducing a short incline that feeds directly
to an automatic grading bundler system. This system will allow
you to choose bulk processing and feeding into dumpsters or
packaging bundles for retail operations. Again your product-to-profit
ratio skyrockets when labor is either greatly reduced or eliminated.
