<p><strong>375 mm Drum-Style Hydraulic-Feed Chippers</strong></p>
<p>With TOMCAT’s addition of the heavy-duty steel conveyor system and the state-of-the-art features available on the standard Model 4375 AFE, we continue to raise the bar yet again! The Model 4375 AFE 2IC wood chipper is purpose-built for compost producers, rental companies, forestry, contractors and fruit farmers in the macadamia nut &#38; citrus industries. The operator has full hydraulic control over the top-feed roller, height adjustment and direction of the discharge chute/flipper. The 2.0 m steel in-feed conveyor allows for continuous feeding, ensures easy loading of larger branches and will reduce operator fatigue. A uniquely designed chipper drum with a diameter of 780mm paired with a 125HP engine hits the ultimate sweet spot with regards to fuel efficiency vs output. Running costs per cubic meter are reduced significantly with the large diameter drum, 4-cylinder water-cooled engine, 4 staggered chipping blades, in-feed conveyor together with its hydraulic features. A steel toolbox secures the battery and there is enough space to carry the necessary tools. A spare wheel will provide you with added peace of mind. The chipper is fitted with an electronic safety cut-out switch on the drum inspection plate and emergency stop switches are placed strategically around the conveyor to prevent injuries. An angled in-feed hopper will reduce prep work. The wood chipper is mounted on an SABS roadworthy, double-axle trailer, which allows for easy transportation.</p>

<p><strong>375 mm Drum-Style Hydraulic-Feed Chippers</strong></p>
<p>The TOMCAT 375 AFE is throwing its weight around in the 375mm/15 inch hand-fed wood chipper category as it comes STANDARD with class-leading features and capabilities. The operator is given full hydraulic control over the top feed roller, height adjustment/direction of the discharge chute and the angle of the flipper. A uniquely designed chipper drum with a diameter of 780mm paired with a 125HP engine hits the ultimate sweet spot with regards to fuel efficiency vs output. This wood chipper is purpose-built for rental companies, contractors and fruit farmers. The large feed opening of 520mm x 420mm makes this chipper very popular in the soft fruit, citrus, pecan- &#38; macadamia nut industries. Running costs per cubic meter are reduced significantly with the larger diameter drum, electronic reversing auto-feed computer (TRAC unit), 4-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine, 4 staggered chipping blades along with hydraulic features. The 100mm diameter drum shaft assures that the unit can chip effortlessly through branches of up to 375mm in diameter. A steel toolbox secures the battery and there is enough space to carry the necessary tools. An electronic safety cut-out switch is fitted on the drum inspection plate. The lowered in-feed hopper will reduce operator fatigue. The wood chipper is mounted on an SABS roadworthy double-axle trailer which allows for easy transportation.</p>

<p><strong>200 mm Drum-Style Hydraulic-Feed Chippers</strong></p>
<p>The Model 4200 AFE has undergone some serious transformation from its predecessor. Some of the most significant changes include the changes to the chipping drum. Fans are added on both sides of the chipping drum to enhance its discharge velocity and ability to chip effortlessly into the back of trailers and trucks. A lock-pin is located at the side of the drum to make blade changing safer and quicker. The larger diameter in-feed rollers climb more easily onto larger branches and the improvements on the hydraulic system allow for increased daily production. The in-feed opening of 260 x 230mm allows operators to chip material with side branches - reducing prep time and saving costs. The chipper and engine are protected by an electronic reversing auto-feed, which ensures that the machine cannot be over-fed, increases chipping blade life and reduces fuel consumption. The hydraulic lift cylinder gives the operator the ultimate control - improving efficiency by crushing side branches and allowing the top feed roller to climb onto large logs with ease. Components that require maintenance are easily accessible, which limits downtime. This engine-driven wood chipper is fitted with a spare wheel and steel toolbox to protect the battery and tools from theft. The Model 4200 AFE wood chipper is built standard on a roadworthy trailer with a brake axle. This wood chipper is also available as PTO to hook behind a tractor or with an electric motor.</p>

<p><strong>200 mm Drum-Style Hydraulic-Feed Chippers</strong></p>
<p>The Model 4200 AFP is designed for fruit farming operations and alien clearing projects where the wood chips are utilized for mulch or compost. This unit features large diameter in-feed rollers that climb effortlessly onto fruit tree branches and the fans on the sides of the drum enhance discharge velocity and efficiency. A lock-pin is located at the side of the drum to make blade changing safer and quicker. The in-feed opening of 260mm x 230mm reduces prep-time on material and the lift &#38; crush feature allows the operator to crush stubborn side branches in a split second.</p>
<p>The chipper and tractor are protected by an electronic reversing auto-feed computer, which ensures that the machine cannot be over-fed, increases chipping blade life and reduces fuel consumption. Components that require maintenance are easily accessible, which limits downtime. The Model 4200 AFP is built standard on a farm trailer and is also available on a PTO base that hooks on the 3-point and sits 180° in line with the tractor.</p>
