GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND
INTENDED USE OF THE CHIPPER
FARMI CH27 is a disk chipper for tractor-mounted
operation. As the chip size is adjustable, the chipper can
be used e.g. for the production of chips to be used for
landscaping or for bio energy. The chipper can be used
to chop trunks, twigs and tree tops as well as chopping
waste and saw mill waste. The chipper can shred wood
with a max. trunk diameter of 270 mm.
The FARMI CH27 chipper is mounted to the 3-point
hitch of a tractor. It is driven by the tractor PTO. The
driving force is transferred to the chipper via the PTO
drive shaft. During chipping, the chipper rotor on which
the blades for cutting the material are mounted is driven
by the tractor. From the knives, the chips are fed to the
additional knives which cut the chips to the desired size.
Finally, the chips are discharged to the desired position
using a discharge pipe. The material to be cut is loaded
into the chipper using a grab loader.
The FARMI CH27 chipper must always be used together
with one of the following Farmi feed units:
Chipper and feed unit combinations for grab loader feed:
FARMI CH27 + ACR
FARMI CH27 + ACC
FARMI CH27 + ACR + BC3000
The FARMI CH27 chipper must never
be coupled to other feed units. Mo-
reover, the chipper must not be used
without a feed unit.
DESCRIPTION OF WORKSITES
A worksite with a level and firm surface should be used
when chipping. Clear any small brush and stones from
the worksite. The material to be chipped should be as
clean as possible - make every effort to keep soil or stones
from entering the chipper.
Avoid chipping in close proximity to power lines. The
distance from power lines must always be at least 5 met-
res + 20 m of the crane work area.
Reserve an adequate amount of working space for the
chipper and transport equipment.
Do not store fuelwood stacks near objects which can cau-
se damage to the chipper if they should enter it (e.g. saws,
log tongs, etc.).
If the chips are to be discharged directly into chip storage,
ensure that the discharge hole is set at a suitable height.
