landscaping mulch, or livestock bedding, USNR has the experience and designs to suit each application. USNR’s Wastewood Chipper comes in four sizes and three configurations, handling logs from 11”-22” diameters. Equipped with a very short spout, its large “J”-shaped opening is typically fed by a vibrating conveyor. Each model accommodates bottom, rear, and top discharge. The helical knives of USNR’s Norman Chipper slice uniform chips instead of scraping them from the stock, eliminating sawdust, slivers, and oversize split ends. Models handle logs from 8.25” to 22” diameters. www.usnr.com KADANT CARMANAH Like all Kadant Carmanah chippers, the 96” Whole Log Chipper is designed to produce high quality chips with a focus on machine longevity and simpli-fied maintenance. The shear pin pro-tected anvil reduces operational costs by limiting damage caused by tramp metal and rock hits. The heavy-duty base is constructed from thick steel sections to minimize flexing under heavy load and permit close knife-to-anvil clearances. Kadant Carmanah’s 96” Whole Log Chipper can easily be adapted to produce either standard pulp chips or micro-chips as small as ¼” for use in the biomass/ pellet industry. www.kadantcarmanah.com STRINGER INDUSTRIES Stringer Industries manufacturers its own line of waste wood chippers and waste-reduction hogs that are designed and built to improve a mill’s bottom line. The Stringer Chippers are available in a 48”, 60”, and 70” disc. Not only do they have a maximized throat size to handle large slabs but they also have a cutting action that utilizes the entire knife. The Stringer chipper comes stan-dard with the following features: Easy-Change Clamping System – allows the knives to be changed by one employee; NCK Holders – eliminate the need for counter-knives; and Helical Wear Plates – draws wood up the side of the spout. The Stringer Hogs are built for depend-ability and ease of maintenance. The hammers are available with replaceable, carbide-welded tips. Sizes range from a 12” opening to a 54” opening. www.stringerind.com BRUKS Many biomass processers see the advan-tages of a uniform chipped product as a critical part of their fuel mix.
