New Gear primary reduction where accurate sizing is less critical. The floating anvil mode provides a high production primary reduction with more protection from contaminated feedstocks and reduced fuel consumption. TiGERCAT uNVEilS ThE NEW 470 MulChER Tigercat has added a new model to its expanding line of mulcher carriers. The new 470 mulcher is equipped with the Tigercat FPT C87 Tier 4i 245 kW (328 hp) engine. It is narrow and agile with extremely low ground pressure, rated at 20,9 kPa (3 psi). The 470 is best suited to tough terrain and sensitive sites. The 470 is equipped with an efficient, high capacity cooling system with a variable speed fan and automatic reversing cycle, a dedicated attachment pump and an efficient closed loop track drive system. Inside the cab, the operator has ergonomic electronic joystick steering with CRF (counter-rotate function) for turning on a dime at the touch of a button. The heavy-duty steel engine enclosure and precleaner guard eliminates the requirement for a rear canopy. All structural components are designed for full-time forest duty. CARD bREAkER SySTEM AVAilAblE foR bANDiT DRuM ChiPPERS Bandit Industries now offers a Card Breaker System for hand-fed and whole tree drum-style chippers. The Card Breaker works similar to a screening system, restricting oversized material from exiting the machine. The system is optional for most Bandit drum-style chippers, creating an even higher quality wood chip that is well suited for use in expanding biomass energy markets. “Chips of relatively uniform size and shape are much preferred for use in biomass fuel wood applications,” said Jason Morey, Bandit Industries sales manager. “By creating a better chip, our customers can have a better product to sell on the biomass fuel market.” Bandit’s Card Breaker doesn’t subtract from Bandit chippers’ throwing power – in fact, it benefits from it. Chips leave the drum at a high speed, with larger-sized chips hitting the Card Breaker installed in the discharge. This breaks the chips down further, resulting in a more uniform chip ready for biofuel 1 applications. The Card 2:33 Breaker Opticon biomass dec12.pdf 2014-02-04 PM System functions without the need for additional chip accelerating devices, and overall machine production is unaffected. PETERSoN iNTRoDuCES ThE 5710D hoRizoNTAl GRiNDER Peterson has released the new 5710D horizontal grinder, powered by a Tier 4i Caterpillar C27 1050 hp engine. At 88,500 lb. (40,150 kg) the 5710D was designed for operations that require frequent moves between jobs without a special permit. An optional transportation dolly allows the Peterson 5710D to be easily moved and set up for operation within minutes. With a feed opening of 60 x 40 in. (152 x 102 mm) combined with Peterson’s high lift feed roll; the 5710D can readily reduce a wide range of material including stumps. The 5710D utilizes Peterson’s Impact Release System that can be set in the detent mode to provide consistent product sizing or switched to the floating anvil mode for a For regular new product updates, visit www.canadianbiomassmagazine.ca AD inDeX Amandus Kahl Hamburg ..........17 Bandit Industries, Inc. ...............5 Belledune Port Authority ............27 Bioenergy Conference & Expo ..13 Cardinal Distribution, inc ..........22 Dieffenbacher USA, Inc ............20 Hoffmann, Inc. .........................19 Hurst Boiler & Welding Co., Inc. 36 Internation VDI Conference .......28 International Bioenergy ............26 International Biomass Conference & Expo ...................................11 Shanghai ZhenggChang Cereal 35 Morbark, Inc. ..........................9 Northeastern Biomass Heating Expo .........................15 Opticom Technologies, Inc. .......29 Peterson Pacific ........................7 Polypro Solutions, Inc. ..............24 Quadco ..................................29 Rodrigue Métal Ltée .................16 Rotochopper, Inc. .....................2 Rovanco Piping Systems ...........23 Timber Products Inspection ........22 World Bioenergy .....................3 Established 1973 World’s Toughest Industrial CCTV Camera The industry standard for Sawmills, Pulp/Paper Mills, Panelboard Plants and Wood Biomass Refineries EVENTS BOARD March 3-4, 2014 • GROWING THE MARGINS CONFERENCE London, Ontario http://www.gtmconference.ca March 18-19, 2014 • BIOENERGY CONFERENCE & ExPO Atlanta, Georgia http://bioenergyshow.com March 24-26, 2014 • INTERNATIONAL BIOMASS CONFERENCE AND ExPO Orlando, Florida http://BiomassConference.com • • Vibration Resistant 560 TV Lines • • Waterproof, Rating 2.9, 4.3, 6, IP68 8, 12, • 700 TV Line 16 mm lenses • • 2.9, 4.3, All 3.6, Weather, Extreme Environment 6, 8, 12, 16 mm lenses Heavy Gauge Di-Cast • • All Weather, Metal Alloy & Titanium Extreme Environment Components • Heavy Gauge Di-Cast Metal • Tri-Axial Mounting System Alloy & Titanium Components • –60°C to +60°C • Tri-Axial Mounting System • –76°F to +140°F • • –60°C to +60°C and Waterproof, IP68 Rating –76°F to +140°F • Vibration Resistant Available from leading electrical wholesalers throughout North America Canada – Ph. 604-569-3240 • US – Ph. 269-966-2900 www.toughestvideocamera.com 1-800-578-1853 Canadian BIOMASS Opticon biomass janfe1b4.indd 1 29 2014-02-05 11:0
