FORESTRY MULCHER FOR EXCAVATOR
Forestry mulchers represent an important niche in agricultural mechanics. Italy is the world’s leading producer of flail mowers. The regions most active in the production of these machines are Veneto, Emilia Romagna and Lombardy.
What is it for
The excavator forestry mulcher is ideal for shredding trees, shrubs, brambles, brushwood and grass, and finds fruitful use in the maintenance of roadsides and railroad or power lines, as well as the maintenance of river and canal banks, as well as the management of forest and woodland areas. In addition, their use is important in emergency situations: for example, a forestry mulcher can be used in disaster-stricken areas and be useful, sometimes decisive, in helping the State Forestry Corps and Civil Defense to carry out rescue operations in territories that are difficult to reach and impassable for ordinary means and equipment.
What is the excavator forestry mulcher
It is a so-called “plug-in” tool, meaning it can be applied to an operating machine via a mechanical connection. It can even reach over a ton in weight. Operating machines, on the other hand, depending on the type of use, have a tonnage of up to 30 tons.
It generally consists of:
– a supporting frame
– a power transmission
– a chopping roller and other auxiliary organs
It can be coupled with excavators, mini-excavators and other special vehicles. The choice of the operating machine depends on the specific requirements of the work and the size of the area of use. In general, it is a tool that can be used with a wide range of machinery, making it an excellent choice for vegetation care and maintenance.
What are the important features
Among the characteristics to look for that are definitely a distinguishing feature are versatility and resilience according to the needs and use it has to perform. Also, never forget robustness especially if it is used in complex and debris-rich areas. Therefore, customizing certain mechanical elements and choosing components of a certain workmanship is very important and significantly reduces operating costs.
QM’s forestry mulcher for excavator
The company’s flagship Forestry Excavator mulcher is made with a superior alloy steel frame. This gives it excellent longevity and high strength, factors that, over time, optimize investment costs considerably. A great deal of attention has also been paid to the motorization and hydraulic system, the achievements of which have quality as a peculiarity, both in terms of components and the level of engineering used.
It is a tool that can be applied in plug-in mode to an operating machine via a mechanical connection and is operated by means of a hydraulic transmission that enables its operation.
In this configuration, it allows it to operate in the forest environment in various scenarios, including:
– Clearing
– Pruning
– Clearing undergrowth
Key Features
Choosing a used forestry mulcher means:
Customization, depending on the type of use, is certainly one of the most appreciable features of this product. For example, you can adapt the configuration of the plumbing system to your needs. This feature allows the vehicle to be adapted for more functional use to the forest type and log diameter. Another important aspect is robustness and solidity, without penalizing the maneuverability of the machine which is allowed to operate even in relatively confined spaces with absolute efficiency and precision.
The plug-in has three different types of rotor configuration:
– CP carbide-tipped chipper tooth ideal for deep cleaning in mixed environments with shrubs, brambles and bushes
– ST carbide-tipped tip, ideal for shredding large logs down to the ground
– ST2 carbide-tipped double tip ideal for heavy-duty use, significantly more robust and with considerable operational longevity
