What types of trees can the ARPAL chipper cut?
The answer is simple - any.
But depending on the species and humidity of the wood, the productivity and maximum diameter that the shredder can handle changes.
It is important to understand that the maximum diameter and maximum performance are indicated in the equipment characteristics. These indicators are calculated on the raw material ideal for the shredder.
The moisture and hardness of the raw material directly affect the productivity and the maximum diameter of the branch. The harder and drier the branch, the more difficult it will be for the shredder to grind it and the smaller the volume that can be harvested per unit of time.
But, on the contrary, if your raw material is soft, freshly cut, cleaned of small branches and leaves, you can count on cutting branches of the maximum diameter and on close to maximum productivity.
For everyone who is planning to buy a branch chopper, we have prepared a selection of videos where we chop branches of different types of trees, of different humidity and different diameters for 12 minutes.
At the end of the video, we cut the steel rebar to test the knives for strength. So be sure to watch the video in full to find out what happened.
