SP-33-34 mechanized chipping of short logs at forest road
Logs are
chipped from stacks piled at the roadside. The work can be done with any chipper, in any configurations.
Chips can be discharged directly onto trucks, onto tractor- trailers or on the
ground. Surge bins can also be used
At the
roadside, one can use very large and powerful chipper that will offer the
highest productivity and lowest cost
Logs are
the best feedstock for producing high quality chips
Limitations, thresholds
The
roadside landing must be large enough to accommodate the chipper, the
accompanying chipvan and the stacks to be chipped.
Stacks
should not be contaminated during extraction and/or piling
Main use
Most
chipping operations
Chipping is
more productive if performed at a roadside landing than in the stand because
the material is more concentrated and one can use a larger machine
