Application
The Victory WC-8H wood chipper is a powerful and robust hydraulic wood shredder for branches of up to 15cm in diameter. The PTO shaft with safety shear bolt is included in the shipment of the WC-8H wood shredder.
The WC-8H wood chipper comes with its own, tractor independant hydraulic system with a 26L hydraulic oil tank. Therefore the WC-8H wood shredder can be used on tractors without hydraulic system.
Technology
For a perfect shredding experience, your tractor should at least have 30hp engine power and a PTO shaft speed of 540 RPM.
By using its own hydraulic system the wood is pulled into the wood shredder by two toothed rollers. The hydraulic system helps to clear wood jams by switching into “reverse gear”. The adjustable speed helps to adjust the shredder performance to wood type and diameter. Smaller diameter can be shredded faster than larger diameter.
Another special feature of this wood shredder, next to its own hydraulic, is its 5 belt drive system with a gear ratio of 2:1. This drive system of the wood chipper lets the blade rotor turn with twice the speed of the 540rpm PTO shaft. This results into faster performance and the WC-8H wood chipper produces smaller shredded wood pieces compared to other shredders.
The 90kg rotor in the wood chipper is specially balanced for a vibration free performance. Victory is the only brand in Europe offering this standard. There are two knifes mounted on the wood shredder rotor plus a counter knife shredding wood up to 15cm in diameter into 1 to 4cm pieces. The discharge funnel on the wood chipper can be turned by 230° with an adjustable throwing angle.
The strong air suction, created by the fast turning rotor and its winglets, will throw out the shredded wood. Upon demand additional vent holes in the rotor housing of the wood chipper can be opened to further increase this air suction. Even difficult material like pine tree or thuja branches will be shredded without the danger of blockage.
Two hydraulic rollers inside the input funnel of the wood shredder pull the wood into the chipper. This makes work fast and easy as the powerful hydraulic system of the WC-8H wood chipper will push the material through the 20 x 30cm inner hopper opening. Because of the performance of the hydraulic system, most branch forks do not have to be cut before shredding.
In case of wood jams, you just need to switch the hydraulic feeding rollers of the wood chipper to backward mode to clear the problem instantly. The speed of the feeding rollers can be adjusted with a hydraulic valve, to define the shredder performance and to let you react on the type and diameter of wood that you are shredding.
Smaller and dryer wood can be shredded faster with the wood chipper, thicker and less dry wood should be shredder slower.
The Victory WC 8H wood shredder can be mounted to Cat I and Cat II tractors, since the necessary bushings for the lower and upper bolts are included.
The WC 8H shreds up to 9 m³/h material depending on the type of wood.
The Bowell WC-8H wood shredder comply with all safety regulations and is CE tested following the 2006/42/EC machine directive.
