Bandit releases Chipping Drum for Beast XP-Series Recyclers

October 25, 2013, Remus, Mich. – Bandit Industries now
offers a chipping drum option that replaces the traditional Beast cuttermill.
Designed for companies that want to exclusively chip with their Beast, the new
drum essentially converts the Beast into a whole tree chipper. A variety of
screens can be paired with the drum, creating a screened end product that can
be tailored to meet various specifications for nearly any biomass energy
application.

“Beast users can have the best of both worlds—high quality,
screened dimensional wood chips from a traditional whole-tree chipping drum,”
said Jason Morey, Bandit Industries sales manager. “Because of the large in-feed
opening in the Beast, it can better process large, bulky material that would be
difficult for whole-tree chippers to handle.”

Chipping drums can be ordered on new Model 2680XP, 3680XP,
and 4680XP Beast Recyclers, or retrofitted to older units. With more
municipalities and companies around the world turning to biomass as an
alternative to fossil fuels, the chipping drum option for Beasts can help users
supply these lucrative markets.

“Our XP-Series Beast Recyclers are already industry leaders
for production and reliability,” said Christopher Smith, Bandit Industries
marketing and communications director. “Now that a dedicated chipping drum is
available, these machines are more capable than ever at meeting the strict
sizing requirements for various fuel wood markets, and for the production of
high-yield wood pellets. And with the versatility to function either as a waste
reduction recycler or a whole tree chipper, the Beast is truly in a class by
itself.”
