Product Features and benefits:
Advanced Feed System: The machine features two feed motors and two driven feed rollers, ensuring excellent pressure contact points to effectively squeeze the stem. The Flex Friction Control system uses advanced sensors and intelligence to maintain low friction without compromising delimbing quality.
Rugged Delimbing Knife System: Equipped with three hydraulically controlled delimbing knives, a fourth moving vertical knife, and a fifth pre-delimbing knife, this system delivers high performance. The cast iron knife construction ensures durability.
Highly Efficient Cutting System: Powered by a 30 cm3 saw motor, the system drives a rugged 32.5-in (825 mm) saw bar and chain. It includes automatic cut control, chain tensioning, and chain oiling for efficient cutting throughout the day.
Accurate Length/Diameter Measuring Systems: The patented length-measuring wheel cylinder design maintains constant pressure to closely follow stem irregularities. A fine-end photocell sensor ensures excellent accuracy. The four-point diameter measuring system provides superior diameter measurement.
MaxiXT Smart Control System: This state-of-the-art control system features an intuitive graphical interface to manage all aspects of head control and performance. It allows easy programming of individual operator control preferences and production parameters such as tree species, length, and diameter.
Excellent Reliability and Serviceability: Computer and hydraulic hoses/tubes are well-protected, ensuring high reliability. All daily service can be performed at ground level without repositioning the machine. Centralized lubrication points further reduce service time.
