SMART FEED CONTROL FUNCTION DURING
CHIPPING
When Smart Feed control detects knife disc
rotation speed decreasing, it switches off the
forward feed and activates feed reverse, which
separates the wood of cutting knives. Forward
feed continues automatically after reversing.
Forward feed switching off point depends on
power and torque of the tractor or other power
source. The more powerful the power source
is, the bigger dropping of the knife disc rota-
ting speed Smart Feed allows. This means less
pauses during the chipping. There will be pau-
ses more often if a tractor or other power sour-
ce has less power.
Smart Feed control reverses automatically, if
feeder blocks up. During chipping, the upper
feed roller pressure is watched by pressure
sensor (4). If the feed roller gets stuck, Smart
Feed control automatically briefly reverses the
feed rollers. After reversing forward feed con-
tinues automatically. In most of the cases re-
versing releases any wood stuck in feeder. Re-
versing function repeats until stuck wood gets
loose, or user switches the forward feeding off.
In some cases, wood might get stuck into fee-
der so tight, that reversing function can’t loose
the wood automatically. Then you need to use
hydraulic crane to loose the wood.
When the blockage is removed, activate
forward feed and continue chipping.
