Application
The Victory WC-8M wood chipper is a powerful and robust mechanical 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-8M wood shredder.
The WC-8M wood chipper has an advanced shaft driven feeding system, that pulls the wood into the wood shredder. Therefore the WC-8M 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. The WC-8M does not need a hydraulic system and yet offers the same professional performance as expensive hydraulic shredders without the maintenance effort of a hydraulic system. The mechanically driven toothed input roller of the wood chipper is pulling the wood into the wood shredder.
Another special feature of this wood shredder, next to its drive system, 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-8M 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 rollers inside the input funnel of the wood shredder pull the wood into the chipper. This makes work fast and easy as the drive system of the WC-8M wood chipper will push the material through the 20 x 30cm inner hopper opening. Because of the performance of the drive system, many branch forks do not have to be cut before 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 8M 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 8M shreds up to 7 m³/h material depending on the type of wood.
The Bowell WC-8M wood shredder comply with all safety regulations and is CE tested following the 2006/42/EC machine directive.
