Peterson introduces drum chipper

Nov. 4, 2009 – Peterson
offers a new drum chipper model suited for high-volume biomass producers. The
4300 model is powered by a C18 Caterpillar engine, available in three power
ratings: 630, 700, and 765 hp. The chipper uses a 36-inch (914 mm) diameter by
40-inch (102 mm) wide drum. It will be available with optional material sizing
bars and a chip accelerator to minimize oversize twigs and branches in the
chips. Other key features include a sloped feed deck for ease of feeding the
chipper and an adaptive feed control to maintain chip quality and engine rpm.
The 4300 drum chipper will be available in 2010. www.petersoncorp.com
